Taylor Swift Concert Attack Plotter Loses Privacy Case

The Austrian man, identified as Beran A, was sentenced in May to 15 years in prison for planning a foiled attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna in 2024. He has now lost a privacy lawsuit against Disney over the fact that his parents’ home was shown in the Disney+ documentary series, Taylor Swift: The End of an Era.

An episode of the series, which first aired in December 2025, showed his parents’ house in a town about an hour’s drive from Vienna for a few seconds, but did not name Beran A. The segment showing the address was later removed in May 2026.

Judge Nicole Baczak ruled that, “He doesn’t ​live there. He hasn’t lived there for two years,” adding that there was no prospect of him living there again in the near future either. Baczak also mentioned that the fact his name had been widely reported in ​the news media did not matter, and home addresses in general don’t receive the ⁠highest level of legal protection.

Beran A did not attend the one-hour trial. His lawyer, Ulrike Zeller, said he would appeal.

Disney lawyer ⁠Georg Kresbach told the court Beran A’s parents had each been paid €3,000 (~$3,400) in compensation for their home being ​shown in the Taylor Swift documentary series in a separate settlement.

Beran A was ​found ⁠guilty in May of various, mainly terrorism-related offences, including trying but failing to illegally buy weapons (such as a machine gun and hand grenade) and following instructions ⁠in ​an Islamic State video titled, “Make a bomb ​in the kitchen of your mom” to produce a small amount of triacetone triperoxide, an explosive.
