“The horror of yesterday's attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I'm just completely in shock... The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders. These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families,” Swift wrote. 

The incident was followed by the cancellation of Swift’s multiple shows in Vienna last week. The cancellation was called upon as the authorities unveiled a major terrorist plot at one of her performances. However, despite these hiccups, the singer came back in all her glory to perform at Wembley Stadium, as a part of her ongoing Eras Tour. However, additional security measures were taken by the organizers to ensure everyone’s safety.
