Nikki Glaser is going viral after Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shows were canceled in Vienna.
Two people were arrested in Austria over an apparent plot to attack the area, possibly including Ernst Happel Stadium, where Swift was set to perform on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A 19-year-old, who pledged an oath of allegiance to ISIS in July, was arrested in Ternitz Wednesday morning, and another individual was arrested in Vienna in the afternoon.
"According to the current status of the investigation, the two suspects became radicalized via the internet," Franz Ruf, public security director at Austria's Interior Ministry, said. He added that chemical substances were found and are being evaluated.
Glaser, a major Swiftie, was on her way to see Swift perform in Austria when she learned the shows were canceled. In a video uploaded to Instagram and TikTok, the comedian changed the lyrics of Swift's "Cruel Summer."
"We are stuck at an airport gate on our way to Vienna on a flight that was late. Oh. Planning outfits and singing songs. We had no idea how things could go wrong," she and @lrnglaser, who was tagged in the clip, sang.
"Then we get a text from our mom. That the shows have been canceled because a threat from a bomb," they continued. "And we screamed in a Hudson News. What the hell do I do with these godd*** sparkly shoes? I dyed my hair pink for nothing. We're f*****."
At the time of publication, the Instagram video had more than 559,000 views and racked up more than 926,000 views on TikTok.
In the comments, Swift's fans praised Glaser for her clever remix.
"This is high art and deserves to be in a museum," one person wrote underneath the video on Instagram.
"I mean... this remix kinda slaps," a second person said, while another user wrote, "This is a bop!"
"Why did you just casually spit genius," one fan wrote on TikTok, as a separate user added, "I do appreciate u guys coming in w the humour amongst all the tears."
Glaser opened up about her love for Swift last month on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, revealing that she had seen the Eras Tour 17 times already.
"I just feel like this is a time where I have to see someone who is one of the best performers to ever live," Glaser said. "To me, it's like The Beatles, and I think I'm gonna be a person someday that everyone's gonna go like, 'You saw The Beatles live?' It's the thing that makes me happiest in the world."
Barracuda Music, the Vienna shows promotor, shared in a statement posted to Instagram that ticket holders due to attend the concerts would be "automatically refunded within the next 10 business days."
Swift rarely cancels her performances. The last time one of her shows was canceled was in 2014, during her Red Tour in Bangkok, Thailand. At the time, the country's military seized control of the government.
Previously, Swift said her "biggest fear" was a terror attack at one of her concerts. In an article for Elle in 2019, the pop star revealed she carries "QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds."
Swift has not yet commented on the situation.
