Star Swift meets Southport attack victims backstage

The US singer previously said she was "in complete shock" at the "horror" of the incident on July 29 when three girls were fatally stabbed at a Swift-themed dance class. Eight more children and two adults were injured.

Taylor, 34, contacted their families before returning to Wembley Stadium for the final European dates of her tour.

Some of those who were injured went to her shows at the weekend. As well as meeting their idol they were given merchandise in a bid to raise their spirits.

Taylor's mum Andrea was said to have been instrumental in arranging the meet.
