AEG Presents, the show’s promoter, tells Rolling Stone that Carpenter’s scheduled show at Keller Auditorium was canceled “out of an abundance of caution” after a “credible threat” was made to a different venue in Portland, where Carpenter had originally been scheduled to perform.
“Employees with the Crystal Ballroom called after they received a phone call from an anonymous person claiming they were going to blow up the venue,” Lieutenant Nathan Sheppard of the Portland Police Bureau tells Rolling Stone.
Lieutenant Nathan Sheppard of the Portland Police Bureau told the publication, “Employees with the Crystal Ballroom called after they received a phone call from an anonymous person claiming they were going to blow up the venue.”
Sabrina previously changed the venue from Crystal Ballroom to Keller Auditorium to allow for more attendees. The promoter and her team decided it was best not to move forward with the show for everyone’s safety.
The second North American leg of Carpenter’s Emails I Can’t Send Tour has gone off without a hitch since kicking off in mid-March. However, she took to social media to share that a credible threat was made against the venue and would put concertgoers in harm’s way should she continue the show.
“Portland — I can’t tell you how much it breaks my heart; this is the last thing I wanted to do, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we will not be able to perform tonight,” Carpenter wrote. She added, “You will be refunded.” She added, “I am so sorry. I love you very much.”
