During her recent Eras Tour stop in London, Taylor Swift took a moment backstage to meet with families affected by the tragic mass stabbing at a children's dance class in Southport, England earlier this summer.
Photos shared on TikTok on Sunday, August 18 by one of the moms show Swift posing warmly with the fan and her daughters, both dressed in Red-themed T-shirts. One of the children, seen with a bandage on her forearm, received a hug from the pop star while Swift's mother, Andrea Swift, also joined the meet-and-greet.
The post was accompanied by a sweet caption that read, "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 💗💗💗."
According to Billboard, Swift, 34, reportedly spent time with multiple families affected by the incident before taking the stage at Wembley Stadium, where she is wrapping up the European leg of her tour with a series of five shows from August 15-20.
Fans loved seeing the 14-time Grammy winner's kind gesture, with many taking to the comments to express their admiration. "omg taylor 😭🥹 i knew she would do something special for the girls. thank you so much for sharing mama, you're an absolute warrior. I hope you and your girls heal 🙏," said one Swiftie.
Another noted, "This is so lovely. I hope when the girls are older this is the memory that shines through. I don't know if this was night 4 but it would explain why Taylor was so teary eyed. Must've been emotional."
Though Swift didn't address the tragedy directly during her concert, she had previously shared a statement expressing her heartbreak over the attack on her Instagram Story: "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 has two more shows left on her U.K. Eras Tour leg – tonight, Monday August 19, and tomorrow, Tuesday, August 20.
