Taylor Swift meets with families affected by Southport attack
They joined her backstage at Wembley
'Anti-Hero' singer Taylor Swift has been back in the UK performing a string of five dates at Wembley, as part of 'Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour'.
This second string of dates in London are the first in the country since the devastating stabbings that took place in Southport last month, at a Taylor Swift-theme dance class. Three young girls were killed in the attack, which left Taylor and her fans around the world shocked, leading Taylor to release a statement saying: 'The horror of yesterday's attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I'm just completely in shock...'
Now, it's been revealed that Taylor reached out of the families affected by the tragedy, and some of them joined the singer, and her mum backstage while at Wembley.
Taking to TikTok to share a montage of photos, Sami Foster shared a slideshow of photos of two girls, called Hope and Autumn, meeting the 'Shake It Off' singer.
Sami captioned the TikTok: 'You drew stars around my scars 💫🥹 …. The biggest thankyou to @Taylor Swift and her mum for making the most magical night possible for us all 🫶🏻 thankyou for bringing Hope & Autumn pure happiness last night & always 💗💗💗 #taylorswift #taylornation #erastour #swifties #andreaswift'. (sic)
In the photos the older girl appears to be wearing a bandage around her arm which has the words of a Taylor Swift song written on them: 'you drew stars around my scars', from her song 'Cardigan', on her album 'Folklore'.
It's understood that Taylor met with many families affected by the tragedy, backstage at Wembley.
Throughout her second run in London, the singer welcomed five different artists as special guests, including RAYE and Maisie Peters. She also brought out her good friend Ed Sheeran on the first night, wowing fans with a mash up of several songs. The singer told her fans that Ed was like a brother to her.
The last UK date for Taylor's second leg is Tuesday 20th August, she will then continue on to Canada.
