Tensions are high around live music events this week after authorities in Austria thwarted a terrorist attack plot during singer Taylor Swift’s performance in Vienna with her “The Eras Tour.”

Two high-ranking individuals familiar with the planning for the surprise L.A. concert stunt said security and crowd control have been a point of concern for local officials even before the news from Vienna.

Representatives for the Olympics and the musical artists declined to comment.

At the Closing Ceremony, the musical performances from Los Angeles are expected to follow a much-hyped stunt from Tom Cruise. Cruise will jump on his motorcycle for an average day of death-defying tricks in France, before tossing to a prerecorded package that will see him parachute down next to the iconic Hollywood sign.

At the end of Sunday’s Closing Ceremony, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will accept the Olympic Torch and bring it back as she returns from Paris.
