LONDON — Fans arriving at Taylor Swift's concert in London on Thursday (Aug 15) said solidarity among fellow Swifties was helping to dispel any security concerns they had after her Vienna concerts were cancelled last week.

The US singer-songwriter is back in London for five dates before her record-breaking Eras tour returns to North America.

"Fancy meeting you here at Wembley Stadium, London," she told 92,000 cheering fans at the stadium, according to video clips posted on social media.

Her three shows in Vienna were cancelled after a planned attack was foiled by authorities, leaving some 195,000 fans grappling with sorrow, anger and disbelief.

Some of them rushed to buy tickets for the London dates, which are available for about 690 pounds (S$1,172) on resale sites.

Iggy Wilde, 28, said she had never considered selling her ticket after the security scare in Vienna.

"I think there's a concern. Obviously, it's worrying," she said. "The main thing that I've felt is that Swifties have come together and there's a real sense of solidarity between us that I think makes me not afraid."
