An Austrian court has convicted a man of planning to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna nearly two years ago. The Austria Press Agency reports that the state court in Wiener Neustadt found the 21-year-old defendant, an Austrian citizen, guilty on charges including those related to the concert. His defense attorney said he admitted to the charges related to the concert plot during the opening day of the trial last month. The concert plot was thwarted, but Austrian authorities still canceled Swift’s three performances in August 2024. The defendant apologized in his final words to the court ahead of the verdict.
