WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Taylor Swift is telling fans traveling to her first concert in Warsaw this week to not panic when they hear sirens. Those sirens will wail Thursday at 5 p.m. to honor a key World War II anniversary. Across the Polish capital observances are being held to mark 80 years since the start of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, which was a 63-day revolt by Polish insurgents and civilians after five years of brutal Nazi German occupation. The entire city stops and alarm sirens sound every Aug. 1 at the exact time when the ill-fated revolt was launched.
