Ring of steel as Taylor Swift mania hits Wembley: Swifties flocking to north London for Eras Tour concerts insist they feel 'safe' amid enhanced security measures after foiled Vienna terror plot - as Met Police says they are 'well prepared'

Taylor Swift fans flocking to Wembley ahead of the singer’s Eras Tour insist they feel ‘safe’ after a foiled terror plot in Vienna which caused three shows to be cancelled.

A ring of steel has been erected around the venue with hundreds of security personnel, and the Met Police have told the public they are ‘well prepared’ for the gigs.
Thousands of ‘Swifties’ have gathered in their best sparkling outfits ahead of the first of five shows – the last of the Lavender Haze singer’s European shows.

Fans are buzzing with excitement and believe they are now more safe due to the increase in security after Swift’s last concerts were axed.

Dozens of yellow-jacketed security workers were checking tickets at the bottom of the steps leading up to the stadium on Thursday, with police officers also in attendance.

Police are expected to be much firmer with fans who do not have tickets, and will ‘move on’ anyone who tries to gather outside the stadium to listen.
The foiled terror plot in Vienna, Austria, involved a car, knives and explosives and was reported to have targeted those gathered outside the stadium.

In the UK, a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club was targeted by a knifeman in Southport last month in an attack which killed three young girls.

The singer posted a tribute to Bebe King, six, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, saying she was at ‘a complete loss’ over the horror. Police have said the attack is not being investigated as terrorism related.
But events haven’t put a dampener on fans’ spirits, with some waiting in line for as long as 30 hours until doors open.

The shows will have a different support act each day starting with instrumentalist Sofia Isella and also including Brit Award-winner Raye, Daisy Jones & the Six star Suki Waterhouse and rising stars, Maisie Peters and Holly Humberstone.

Indigo Wilde, 28, says she has been a fan of Swift, 34, since she was 12, and considers the star her ‘best friend’.

The illustrator, who says her favourite era is Fearless, says she has been to eight of her shows, which cost her around £900 for tickets.
She said: ‘Taylor has been my best friend since I was 12. For a lonely teenage girl, she is the best friend you could have to carry around in your pocket with you. I love her so much.’

The superfan says she spent 300 hours making a bedazzled bodysuit for the first Era’s Tour show and two weeks on tonight’s bedazzled white dress—which shows all the different Eras.

Following the incident in Vienna Indigo says that she still feels very safe, due to the community of fans.

She added: ‘I feel safe. The community is very close, and we look out for each other.

‘When I am in there I will just be thinking about Taylor, not about that.’
Sister super fans Melissa and Maddie Thornton travelled from Coventry for the show and are staying in a nearby hotel.
The pair say they are beyond excited for their first time seeing Swift, having spent £180 each on tickets which they bought last July.

Melissa, 17, who loves the Evermore era most, said: ‘We have been fans for a really long time, since about 2012.

‘This is our first time seeing her. We are really excited. She is very relatable.’

Sister Maddie, 19, who loves Fearless, added: ‘Her impact on the music industry has been incredible.

Zendaya has appeared to debunk pregnancy rumors which went viral on social media.

 

The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” actor posted an Instagram Story on June 15, which said, “See now, this is why I stay off Twitter… Just making stuff up for no reason… weekly.”

It followed rumors that Zendaya was pregnant spreading on Twitter, where a TikTok falsely claiming she’d announced a pregnancy began to circulate. Users appeared to believe the hoax, despite it originally being posted as part of a viral TikTok prank called the “Krissed” trend, where people make false claims about celebrities to bait people into watching a clip of Kris Jenner dancing to “Lady Marmalade.”

On June 13, a user called Ryan Roberts posted a TikTok showing a picture of an ultrasound that looked like a screenshot from Instagram, with Zendaya’s Instagram handle above it.

On Zendaya’s Instagram profile, there is no picture that matches the screenshot in the TikTok.

The 12-second video then cut to a 2011 clip of Kris Jenner dancing and lipsyncing to the “Moulin Rouge” song, with an on-screen caption reading, “You just got Krissed.”

The word “krissed” was used as a synonym for pranked in the video caption, which went on to say, “Send this to your friends to absolutely #kris them.”

Similar videos have gone viral over the past week, and 11,000 TikToks have been posted on the platform with the hashtag “#krissed,” as part of the prank.

Commenters under the original TikTok largely recognized that the pregnancy claims weren’t true, with top comments saying, “I didn’t fall for this one,” and “Nope I was actually prepared this time.”

The TikTok user who posted the video did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.

On Twitter, users appeared to believe the pregnancy was real
Shortly after the TikTok was posted, a rumor that Zendaya was pregnant began to spread on Twitter.

The topic “Zendaya pregnant,” was trending on the platform on June 15, with some people suggesting they were shocked or sad to hear the news, and top liked tweets under the hashtag, “#ZendayaPregnant” have hundreds of thousands of likes each on the platform.

Some users recognized that the rumors originated from the “Krissed” trend and were part of a prank, urging users not to believe the claims.

Zendaya’s personal life has frequently been the topic of speculation on social media

Zendaya and her boyfriend Tom Holland have tried to keep their relationship out of the public eye as much as possible. However, last year, Holland told People that he wanted to “take a break and focus on starting a family.”

He added: “I love kids. I can’t wait to be a dad — I can wait and I will, but I can’t wait!”

In February, Holland also shut down reports that he had purchased a home in London, England with Zendaya.

The two Marvel stars were first linked after starring in the “Spider-Man” Marvel Cinematic Universe trilogy together. Last year, dating rumors surfaced after they were photographed kissing in a car.

Holland later told GQ that he and Zendaya felt “robbed” of their privacy by the photograph.

“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore, and a moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” Holland said.

Representatives for Zendaya did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment
