Taylor Swift Breaks From 'Eras' Tour For Meet And Greet With Two Stab Victims

Taylor Swift does not joke with her Swifties and will do anything to prove it!

The pop icon put a massive smile on two of her fans, who were some of the unfortunate victims of the Southport stabbing, by putting her tour on hold to wrap them up in tight hugs.

Taylor Swift and her mom, Andrea Swift, made the sweet gesture in London during her five sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium.

The heartwarming meet and greet happened backstage, and the group posed for several photographs.

One of the victims who wore a shirt with the lyrics to Swift's song boldly inscribed on it spotted an iconic accessory—a bandage on her arm with the lyric "You drew stars around my scars" from her hit single "Cardigan" written on it.

The now-viral video posted on TikTok by Sami Foster is proof that the "Cruel Summer" singer met with the victims of the stabbing, which left three people dead.

TMZ reported that the unfortunate incident involved a 17-year-old boy who attacked the Swift-themed dance class that the girls attended, leaving behind another ten injured people, including eight children.

The now-viral picture was not Swift's first interaction with victims of the July attack. She reportedly sent her condolences to the victims' families after the tragedy and was in complete shock upon hearing the news.

Many fans also allegedly believed the singer would do something special for the victims during her return to the UK for another "Eras" tour sold out shows.

Well, their projection seemed correct as reports circulated that she had reached out to the victims' families to support them. The girls' mom also acknowledged Swift's and her mom's gesture backstage on TikTok. She wrote:

"The biggest thank you 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."

The singer was also forced to cancel her Vienna tour dates following an aborted terror plot shortly after news of the stabbing incident dropped.

Despite the back-to-back scary news, Swift remained resolute in giving her massive fans the show of a lifetime. This included increasing security at the venues to ensure attendees' safety.

The Blast reported that a Met Police spokesperson confirmed that the star's Wembley show, which kicked off August 15, would have tough security routines, including walk-through metal detectors.

The spokesperson continued that the Met worked closely with "venue security teams and other partners to ensure there are appropriate security and policing plans in place."

They encouraged Swifties to ditch their fear, adding: 'There is nothing to indicate that the matters being investigated by the Austrian authorities will impact upcoming events here in London."

According to the police, two suspects connected to the terror plot were taken into custody. The culprits, aged 17 and 19 respectively, had planned attacks "with a bomb, knives and a vehicle attack on young fans."

Austrian authorities shared that the 19-year-old confessed he intended to "kill as many people as possible outside the concert venue." The terror attack was reportedly supposed to end with him detonating a homemade bomb and dying in the process.

The canceled concerts had financial consequences, as a show expert revealed that the singer could amass up to nine figures in refunds. Nick Ede continued that the three "Eras" tour shows would have gulped around £136,500,000, based on the average ticket price and other expenses.

Ede also factored in the costs of extra security and teams who were on the ground to support the teeming fans who had traveled miles to watch her perform.

Call it spidey senses, and you might not be wrong. In 2019, the 34-year-old admitted that a concert attack was her biggest fear. The Blast detailed her confession in the 2019 interview where she said:

"After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting. I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn't know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months."

Swift noted in the interview thata seriousamount of planning, expense, and effort was put into keeping the fans safe.

She also disclosed that her fear of violence is also reflected in her personal life, declaring that she always walked with "QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds."

Taylor Swift has handled all her concert attacks like a true hero, and it will not be a surprise to see her return to Vienna for an epic performance!
