Eight People Injured, Including Children, in Mass Stabbing at Taylor Swift-Themed Event
Taylor Swift is speaking out amid a tragedy.
After a horrific stabbing attack took place at a children’s Swift-themed dance workshop in Southport, England, which left three children dead and eight other individuals critically injured—five among them children—the 34-year-old is expressing her grief.
“The horror of yesterday’s attach in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock…” Taylor wrote on her July 30 Instagram Story. “The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, and first responders.”
She continued, “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.”
Local Merseyside police confirmed on July 30 that three children, girls aged 6, 7 and 9 had died from their injuries in the hours following the July 29 attack, while five children and two adults remained in critical condition.
The previous day, police Constable Serena Kennedy held a press conference following the stabbing during which she provided additional details on the incident.
