For Taylor Swift fans, the images are particularly sensitive not only because of the tragic murder of the three girls but also because attendees of an Eras Tour concert were almost victims of a terrorist attack.
Two teenagers were arrested in Vienna after authorities discovered they had planned to sneak a car full of explosives into the Ernst Happel Stadium, where three shows were set to take place.

The two aspiring terrorists were confirmed to have ties to ISIS, and they had direct communication with members of the organization prior to their arrest.
After the cancellation, hundreds of Taylor’s fans congregated on Vienna’s streets to sing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived in defiance of the terrorist threat.
“Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead? Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?” the song’s lyrics read.
Netizens were outraged by the photoshoot, labeling it as “tone-deaf” and “inappropriate” following the violent events that both UK citizens and Taylor Swift fans have had to deal with recently

However, others speculated that it was done as a way to create buzz about an upcoming collaboration with Taylor Swift.
“The references to Taylor Swift in the article itself are teasing an upcoming remix of Sympathy is a Knife with Taylor,” speculated one user on Reddit. “That being said, yeah, the hand images don’t look so great in the context of Vienna and the UK knife attacks.”
“It’s very tone-deaf regardless of the purpose,” another replied.
