TOUCHING THE HEART: Taylor Swift quietly ‘silently’ contacted and sent words of comfort to the families of the victims of the stabbing in England right before her show in London.
Taylor Swift reached out to the families of the victims that were killed in a mass stabbing in Southport, England last month ahead of her defiant return to the stage in London, according to a report.
The 14-time Grammy winner, 34, resumed her sold-out Eras tour in London Thursday night, where she kicked off a 5-night run of her last European leg of the global tour.
The gig was said to have been Swift’s “hardest concert of her career” after three little girls were killed at a dance class inspired by Swift’s music.
Taylor Swift has reportedly reached out to the families of the victims that were killed in a mass stabbing in Southport, England last month.
Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6, were killed when a knifeman entered the dance class on July 29. Ten others were seriously injured.
Despite not addressing the heartbreaking tragedy onstage, Swift had reportedly been in contact with the victims’ loved ones before taking to the stage at Wembley Stadium.
“Taylor may not have spoken about Elsie Dot, Alice and Bebe on stage but she has reached out to their families,” a source told the Sun. “It is something that has weighed heavily on her mind.”
The Post has reached out to Swift’s reps for comment.
Just one day after tragedy struck, Swift released a statement saying she was “completely in shock” over the news.
Elsie Stancombe, 7, was one of the three little girls killed at a dance class inspired by Swift’s music.

“The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock…,” the “Fortnight” hitmaker wrote on July 30.
“The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders.”
