An ISIS-linked plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Austria has been narrowly foiled by police, according to reports.

Two suspects — a 19-year-old living in his parents’ home near Vienna, along with another man — were arrested Wednesday after police raided the home and found various chemicals and substances, according to the Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung.

The pair were allegedly targeting Swift’s concerts at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium, which she is scheduled to play Thursday through Saturday night to sold-out crowds.

“The suspected perpetrator was focused on the Taylor Swift concerts. Preparatory actions were detected,” said Austrian Director General for Public Safety Franz Ruf.

“A concrete threat has been averted,” he said, adding that authorities had not yet declared the concerts entirely safe and were still investigating other accomplices, according to Kronen Zeitung.

The 19-year-old suspect is an Austrian national, and is believed to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic terror group in July.

He and the other suspect are believed to have become radicalized online.

Security plans have been increased at the concerts.
