Taylor Met With Southport Attack Survivors, Families of the Victims

In the first episode of The End of an Era, Taylor Swift addressed the cancellation of her Aug. 2024 concerts in Vienna, Austria, after they were targeted in a terror plot. (Two men were arrested in connection to the planned attack.)

“We’ve had a series of very violent, scary things happen to the tour,” Taylor said. “We dodged, like, a massacre situation. And so, I’ve just been kind of all over the place.”

The incident came just days after three children were killed in a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England.

An emotional Taylor shared through tears, “I have a hard time explaining it.”

Following the tragedy, Taylor privately met with survivors and families of the victims of the Southport attack backstage at her Wembley shows.

The docuseries captured Taylor and mom Andrea Swift in tears after one meeting, with Andrea telling her daughter, “I know you helped them. I know it doesn’t seem like it but I know you helped them.”
