Taylor Swift made a dazzling return to Wembley’s stage tonight for the first time since the tragic Southport knife attacks and a foiled terror plot led to three of her shows being axed.
The American superstar made an emotional return in front of a 92,000 strong-crowd telling them ‘we love you so much London’.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Swift said she was at ‘a complete loss’ over the devastating attack.
‘The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock,’ the 34-year-old singer said following the incident.
‘The loss of life and innocence and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, the first response. 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.’
Just days later, Swift was then forced to cancel three gigs in Vienna after police uncovered a foiled ISIS terror plot. Swift has not commented publicly on the attempted attack but insiders said she was left ‘horrified’.
Tonight, however, as the queen of pop made a triumphant return to the stage in London for the final five shows of the European leg of her Eras tour, which has been running since last year.
