Travis Kelce is urging Taylor Swift to heighten her security measures after three suspects came dangerously close to carrying out an ISIS-inspired terror attack at one of her concerts. Meanwhile, the pop star is reportedly asking her NFL boyfriend to do the same.
Sydtomarket.net can confirm that Travis Kelce , 34, felt “helpless” after Swift, also 34, was forced to cancel three Vienna shows earlier this month due to the foiled suicide bomb plot.
An insider shared, “Travis Kelceis strongly advising her to prioritize her safety and is encouraging her to increase security even further.”
Sources say Travis Kelce felt “pretty powerless” when three suspects planned an attack on Swift’s show in Vienna on August 8.
“He couldn’t do much other than pray for her safety. It was a horrible situation, and he hated feeling so helpless,” the source added.
Although he wanted to rush to her side, the source noted that “he knew he couldn’t.”
“She had plenty of bodyguards, but it still left him feeling very concerned.”
Swift had to cancel her Austrian Eras Tour dates on August 7 after the main suspect, Beran A., and two others were arrested for plotting a terrorist attack.
The trio planned to “carry out an attack using explosives and knives” at the Ernst Happel Stadium, where Swift was set to perform.
Beran A. reportedly intended to “kill himself and as many people as possible during the concert.”
More than 100,000 fans were affected by the canceled shows, but Kelce was said to be “proud” of Swift for “doing the right thing” by prioritizing safety over the concerts.
“Money isn’t everything, and Travis is proud of Taylor for making the tough but necessary decision to cancel her shows. Protecting lives is far more important,” the insider said.
After the European leg of her tour ended, Swift addressed the incident on Instagram, expressing gratitude to authorities for preventing a tragedy and sharing her emotional response to the cancellations.
Additionally, Swift is worried for Kelce’s safety after a man threatened to shoot him at a Morgan Wallen concert on August 2. She has pleaded with him to enhance his security, even offering to cover the costs.
The couple reunited in Rhode Island after the European leg of The Eras Tour, and Swift is expected to attend Kelce’s first NFL game of the season in Kansas City on September 5.
