A 21-year-old Austrian citizen received a 15-year prison sentence on Thursday for plotting a jihadist attack targeting Taylor Swift's Vienna concerts in 2024. Beran A., who pleaded guilty in April, was convicted of terrorist offenses and membership in a terrorist organization after pledging allegiance to ISIS. He planned to attack Swift fans with knives and homemade explosives at Ernst Happel Stadium. "I would just like to say that I am sorry," he told the court before sentencing. His lawyer called it "the biggest mistake of his life." The plot forced cancellation of three sold-out "Eras Tour" shows in August 2024, devastating thousands of traveling fans. Beran A. faces separate trial alongside Arda K. for allegedly planning simultaneous attacks in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and UAE during Ramadan, though he pleaded not guilty to those charges. Story URL

Olivia Rodrigo addressed recent criticism about her stage clothing during The New York Times' Popcast interview, calling online discourse "disturbing." The singer defended wearing revealing outfits and babydoll dresses, stating "I've been on stage in a sparkly bra, little shorts, which is my right." Rodrigo noted the contradiction where revealing clothes weren't deemed "inappropriate" but a fully-covered dress considered "childlike" was criticized. "It just shows how we really normalize pe******ia in our culture," she said. Rodrigo rejected the narrative that women should modify clothing to avoid male sexualization, explaining she felt inspired by heroes like Kathleen Hanna and Courtney Love. "You shouldn't be responsible for some guy sexualizing you in a way that was never your intention," she concluded. Rodrigo emphasized protecting younger women from such rhetoric. Story URL

Taylor Swift surprised an 8-year-old fan named Madeline and her neighbor Ethan Hayes with signed guitars after their wholesome interaction went viral on TikTok. Madeline was too shy to directly ask Hayes, who plays guitar in his yard, to perform a Taylor Swift song. Instead, she sent a paper airplane request over their fence asking him to play "Love Story." The heartwarming video garnered nearly 4 million views and 500,000 likes. Swift sent Madeline a handwritten note saying the clip "brought the biggest smile to my face" along with a signed acoustic guitar. Hayes also received a guitar from Swift, calling the gesture "insane." The viral moment has boosted Hayes' music career, gaining him thousands of followers with entirely positive comments. Madeline's mother called it hitting "the neighbor lottery" in her TikTok caption. Story URL
