Streaming platform Disney+ announced on social media that it partnered with Austria’s ORF to broadcast Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) on television for free Saturday night (Aug. 10), one of three evenings that Swift was supposed to perform live in Vienna. The Vienna Eras Tour dates, scheduled for Aug. 9, 10 and 11, were canceled earlier this week due to the threat of a terror attack at the city’s 65,000-capacity Ernst Happel Stadium.

The streamer addressed a letter posted to Swift’s fans (“Dear Swifties”) on the Disney+ DE Instagram account on Aug. 10 that, translated from German to English, announced the free TV showing of The Eras Tour film.

ORF, a national broadcaster in Austria, showed Swift’s concert movie at 9:45 p.m. local time on the public channel ORF 1.

Disney+ also offered a free 7-day trial subscription for those who wish to stream Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour on the platform in Austria and Germany. The announcement, which states the promotion runs through Aug. 12, is pinned to Disney+ DE’s account.

Three people were detained by Austrian authorities in connection with a potential terror attack at Swift’s now-canceled Eras Tour concerts in the city of Vienna. An 18-year-old man was arrested on Thursday, following previously reported arrests of 19-year-old and 17-year-old suspects taken into custody on Tuesday. Officials described a plot to carry out what could have been a mass casualty event over the weekend among the crowd of fans outside Ernst Happel Stadium.

Swift has not publicly commented on what happened in Vienna, with news of the event cancelations first delivered on Wednesday via Barracuda Music, the concert promoter for the pop star’s Austrian tour dates: “With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety. All tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days,” read the promoter’s statement, which was reposted by Taylor Nation, an account associated with Swift’s team.

Vienna, where Swift was set to play three nights in a row, was to be the second-to-last city on the map for the European leg of The Eras Tour.

The Tortured Poets Department hitmaker is currently scheduled for five nights at London’s Wembley Stadium (Aug. 15, 16, 17, 19 and 20), followed by a break before she resumes the tour in North America from October-December — with multiple dates in the cities of Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Toronto and Vancouver.
