The worrying trend has been addressed by Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Adele, Kelsea Ballerini and more. Fears were recently heightened when Swift’s August shows in Vienna, Austria, were canceled when government officials discovered the threat of an ISIS-related terrorist attack.

“The cancellation of our Vienna shows was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned to come to these shows,” Swift said in an Instagram post at the time. “But I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them we mourned concerts and not lives.”

Jonas Brothers are currently playing the rescheduled European leg of the band’s “Five Albums, One Night” tour, which wraps up Wednesday night in Krakow, Poland.
