Taylor Swift has been controversial in recent days for remaining silent about the cancellation of three Eras Tour shows in Vienna, Austria, after being targeted by terrorists.
Some fans blamed the idol for his indifferent attitude towards those who spent time and money to see the show but did not get the desired results. The criticism was even heavier when Taylor was discovered leaving the luxurious private club Annabel’s in London, England, in the early morning of August 13 (local time). They were disappointed that the Anti-hero singer had time to party but could not write a comforting line to Vienna fans on Instagram.

International media reported that Taylor was at Annabel’s to hold a thank you party for the 200-member touring crew before starting a series of shows at Wembley Stadium (London) on August 15-20.
According to information collected by The Sun , after arriving in the British capital on August 12, Taylor rented the entire Annabel’s for the same night, plus six 52-seat buses to transport staff.
“Taylor is one of the most generous pop stars. She threw the party to thank her team for their hard work. She hired Annabel’s for the night and opened up a free bar so her team could relax. They went back to work the next day for their first night at Wembley. Annabel’s was packed with 200 people there, but it was a great night. Everyone appreciated Taylor’s efforts,” the insider revealed.
The source added that after canceling her shows in Vienna, Taylor wanted to give back to the people who work for her. The beauty born in 1989 wanted to raise the morale of all employees during this difficult time.
The party lasted until 3am on August 13. Taylor was spotted leaving the club by paparazzi, looking stylish in a £2,500 (over $3,200) checkered Vivienne Westwood outfit.

The Wembley stop was considered the most difficult concert of Taylor Swift’s career. Before that, she not only had to cancel 3 shows in Vienna, but also had to face the news that 3 girls were murdered at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, Merseyside, England. According to the Daily Mail , the two incidents are said to have left the blonde beauty “shocked to the core”.
Media reports say that during her first show in London on August 15, Taylor will give a speech on stage aimed at unifying fans, who have been divided by her idol’s silence.
“Everything Taylor does is for her fans and she will give the best show of her life when she returns to Wembley. Hate never wins. Taylor fully supports that. Her shows are about love, unity and acceptance. That’s the message she always wants to convey,” the source stressed to The Sun.
The source added that Taylor will perform with top British singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran on stage at Wembley.
