Taylor Swift wrapped her arms around the families of the Southport stabbing victims in a touching moment backstage.
The 34-year-old singer beamed as she met with families who were affected by the July 29 tragedy at her Saturday night show in London.
Last month, horrific news broke that Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar were stabbed to death at Hart Space Studios.
Eight other children suffered stab wounds and five were left in critical condition after a 17-year-old boy attacked the Taylor Swift-themed dance event.
Taylor was said to have reached out to the families after the tragedy and released a statement expressing her deep sadness over the incident.
Now, one of the impacted families has revealed she met with them during her Eras Tour concerts in Wembley, posing backstage in a heartwarming moment.
Sami Foster shared the video on her TikTok, with the lyrics βYou drew stars around my scarsβ as the caption.
βThe biggest thank you to Taylor Swift and her mum for making the most magical night possible for us all,β she added. βThank you for bringing Hope& Autumn pure happiness last night & always.β
In the video, Taylor posed with the two girls and their families for a series of snaps, beaming as she hugged the youngsters who were dressed in Red Era t-shirts.
The Speak Now icon was dressed in her Lover bodysuit ahead of the third night of her final UK leg, marking the sixth time she was performing at Wembley on the Eras Tour.
Itβs believed all the victimsβ families were approached by the All Too Well icon to attend the Wembley shows as a guest of Taylor and her family.
At the time of the attacks, the Look What You Made Me Do singer wrote on her Instagram story: βThe horror of yesterdayβs attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and Iβm just completely in shock.
βThe 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.β
The same month, her Vienna gigs were cancelled over concern for safety as a bomb threat was unveiled days before the show.
Fans were worried the rest of the tour would be scrapped as Taylor had once said this type of threat was her βgreatest fearβ.
However, the Dear John hitmaker made a defiant return to stage on Friday, August 15, to the joy of UK Swifties.
Taylor hasnβt spoken out about the Vienna incident, but arranged for fans to be offered free Swarovski necklaces and took to the streets to sing and swap friendship bracelets.
