Two people were arrested in Austria on Wednesday, foiling a potential terror attack that may have been targeted at a Taylor Swift concert.

Swift, one of the world’s biggest pop stars, was set to hold shows at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as part of her Eras Tour. Security for the shows was heightened after a 19-year-old was arrested in Ternitz, about an hour south of Vienna, and a second person was arrested in the Austrian capital. However, Event organizer Barracuda Music later called off the concerts, saying that “we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety.”

Franz Ruf, the public security director at Austria’s interior ministry, said that authorities were made aware of “preparatory actions” for a potential attack “and also that there is a focus by the 19-year-old perpetrator on the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna,” according to the Austria Press Agency (APA). Chemical substances were also secured and are being evaluated, Ruf said.

According to Ruf, the 19-year-old pledged an oath of allegiance to ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), and the Associated Press (AP) reported that the suspect is believed to have become radicalized on the internet. Austria’s Cobra unit, which has been compared to the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, reportedly assisted with the arrests of the two suspects.

Vienna police chief Gerhard Pürstl said that any real danger has been minimized, but security was raised due to an abstract risk, the AP reported.
