Unity and Community
Taylor Swift fans in Vienna are showing an unprecedented sense of community. Despite the cancellations, many fans gather in the city to sing their favourite songs together and support each other. Cornelius Street (as a reference to Swift’s song “Cornelia Road”) in the 6th district became a hotspot for spontaneous singing and dancing. The atmosphere was marked by deep connection and a positive spirit. Numerous videos of these touching moments are currently going viral, showcasing the strong bond among Swifties.
Free Burgers and Secondhand Shopping
For those feeling peckish, the burger chain Le Burger is inviting all ticket holders for a free burger. Locations include Mariahilfer Straße 114 in the 6th district and Rotenturmstraße 15 in the 1st district.
For those still searching for the perfect Taylor Swift outfit despite the concert cancellation, Vienna has plenty to offer. For all things glitter, there’s no better address than the Swarovski flagship store on Kärntner Straße. All guests who present a Taylor Swift concert ticket at the reception will receive a “crystalline surprise” (valid until August 10th or while supplies last). And for those looking to snag some boots and more on a budget, Vienna’s numerous secondhand shops may hold the key.
Beyond that, the world’s most livable city offers much more for Taylor Swift fans. Cat lovers, just like Taylor, will feel right at home at Katzencafé Neko or Barista Cats. And don’t be surprised if you stumble upon open-air events and festivals at the most unexpected places during your sightseeing in Vienna. It’s Kultursommer, and there’s a lot happening.
