Taylor Swift and her mom meet Southport stabbing victims backstage at Eras Tour
View Date:2024-12-23 11:26:16
LONDON — Some of the families who were at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport, U.K., when a man stabbed three children and injured 10 others were invited backstage at the Eras Tour to meet the singer.
One of the moms, Sami Foster, shared a montage of photos to Swift's 1989 World Tour version of "Enchanted." The mom captioned her TikTok, "You drew stars around my scars 💫🥹 …. The biggest thank you to @Taylor Swift and her mum for making the most magical night possible for us all 🫶🏻 thank you for bringing Hope & Autumn pure happiness last night & always 💗💗💗"
Three children — ages 6, 7 and 9 — died on July 29. Two adults and eight children were also stabbed and released by the hospital days after, according to Merseyside police.
Officers arrested a 17-year-old boy, charging him with the murder of Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Dasilva Aguiar along with 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article.
"The horror of yesterday's attack is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock," Swift wrote the following morning in a statement posted to her Instagram story.

"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," she continued.
Twenty-two thousand Swifties came together to raise more than 385,000 Euros ($426,000) for the victims of the stabbings.
Swift has one more night at Wembley Stadium in London before wrapping her European leg of the Eras Tour and taking a two-month break. Her show will resume in Miami on Oct. 18.
