Taylor Swift has posted a statement following the tragic incident that took place in Southport, UK yesterday, in which a number of children were stabbed at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
The superstar, who has been touring in the UK recently, posted on Instagram that “the horror of yesterday’s attack is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock.”
A 17-year-old man has been arrested following the incident, which has so far seen three people killed. Five children and two adults remain in a critical condition after the deadly stabbing, which eyewitnesses have described as akin to a horror movie. The stabbings took place yesterday morning at a Swift-themed dance class.
Swift said today: “The 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.”
