AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift allegedly has "privately" shown her support to Southport victims' families. It has been reported that the "All Too Well" hitmaker was in touch with the families before taking the stage in London.
Recently, The U.S. Sun revealed what the 34-year-old superstar has done to show her empathy to the families of the victims. According to the media outlet, she "reached out in private" to them "before taking to the stage for her first gig since the tragedy."
Some sources spilled to the outlet that three young girls, who were killed in the incident, "had been in her thoughts." One of the sources said, "Taylor may not have spoken about Elsie Dot, Alice and Bebe on stage but she has reached out to their families. It is something that has weighed heavily on her mind."
The revelation came after 7-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, 9-year-old Alice Aguiar and 6-year-old Bebe King were killed "at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class." Furthermore, "10 others, including 8 children, were wounded." It happened after a 17-year-old boy "went on a stabbing rampage" on July 29.
More than one week later, Taylor canceled her sold-out "Eras Tour" shows from Thursday, August 8 to 10 at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria following the arrest of terror plot suspects, including a 19-year-old Austrian named Beran A.. Beran "planned to carry out an attack at the sold-out gig on Thursday or Friday" with "his accomplices" who are 17 and 15 years old.
On Thursday, August 15, Taylor returned onstage for the first time since the stabbing incident and terror threats. She hit the stage at the Wembley Stadium in London, England, where she was joined by her pal and fellow singer Ed Sheeran for the acoustic part of the show. During the gig, the two belted out their 2012 collaborative song "Everything Has Changed", prompting hysterical screams from a packed audience.
About Ed joining Taylor on the stage, an informant shared, "Ed and Taylor have been friends for well over a decade and are very close. He has seen how the last few weeks have impacted her and wanted to be there to support her. It meant the world to Taylor to have him there on such a tough night."
