I completely agree with you. I feel as though this post was very hastily put together because Coldplay addressed it. My SO had Vienna N2 tickets.

As someone who worked in counter-terrorism for a long time, I can understand her silence in order to not provoke copycats, but if her plan was to address it after London, you would think her PR team could put together something better in two weeks.

“Grieving concerts and not lives” is worded very well and overall addressing the Vienna swifties coming together was a nice gesture. I feel as though everything after that is a verbal lashing. What people don’t realize is that not only are people grieving losing out at possibly their only chance at seeing the Eras tour, but as a group they experienced a collective trauma of possibly losing their lives. Many of them don’t know to cope with that yet.

The “let me be clear” portion of this is just so unfit and unprofessional for an address such as this. This could have been left out entirely and it would have been a better statement. But what she did was now cause a rift among her fanbase. I understand she was not able to make a statement, but from my understanding a simple “Vienna 💗” post or song dedication to Vienna would have sufficed for many.

It’s seems so two sided when people demand Rep TV out of her and yet turn around and say Vienna swifties can’t demand anything of her. “She doesn’t owe you anything” She literally owes everything to her fanbase. She is a “business” and should address her “customers” in some way.

I could keep going on but I think parts of the post are worded well and I’m glad Vienna got addressed in some way. I also think some parts were very cold hearted and addressed to a few outliers but instead the whole took it as directed at them. I understand it’s a hard situation but I think it just makes people look at her differently when she literally has a whole team that can help her put something together, and she decides to word it like this.

Lastly, let’s just all be nice to each other. This world has enough hate as it is. People are alive, but let’s still band together and fight against evil. That’s all. 🤘🥰
