Taylor Swift meets survivors of deadly UK stabbing attack at ‘magical’ concert in London
Taylor Swift has treated two girls caught up in a stabbing at a dance class based on her choreography to a “magical” night at one of her concerts.
The singer said she was left in “complete shock” after three little girls were killed at a Taylor-themed lesson in Southport, Merseyside, in July, and is since said to have reached out to families involved in the carnage.
One mother, Sami Foster, has posted a now-viral TikTok video featuring a carousel of photos from a backstage visit to one of Taylor’s sold-out Eras Tour shows at Wembley Stadium, London, along with her girls Hope and Autumn.

One of the girls appears to he sporting a bandage on her forearm in one of the snaps - on which is written a lyric from Taylor’s Cardigan song that goes: “You drew stars around my scars.”
Foster also used the singer’s Enchanted song as background music for the post, which she captioned: “The biggest thank you to @TaylorSwift and her mum for making the most magical night possible for us all (heart-shaped hands emoji.) Thankyou for bringing Hope and Autumn pure happiness last night and always (pink heart emoji.)“
It’s not known how many families Swift has met during her London run, but reports say Foster’s is not the only one to have been treated to a meet-and-greet the singer.
Swift has not yet publicly addressed the meetings.
It was reported before the start of her five-night run at Wembley she had privately contacted the families of the three girls killed in the July 29 attack – Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6.
Eight other children and two adults were also injured in the assault, with six listed in critical condition at the time.
Merseyside police announced on August 6 that the injured children had been released from hospital.
About 25 children were believed to be in the class at the time of the attack and a 17-year-old boy was arrested and charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article.
