Hugs from Taylor

Star meets Southport victims after inviting them to Eras gig

- ASHLEIGH RAINBIRD

GIRLS injured in the horror attacks at a Taylor Swift dance party were given a special treat by the caring superstar when she invited them to her Wembley gigs and then met them backstage.

The 34-year-old singer contacted the families of the young victims, aged six to 11, before returning to Wembley for the final dates of the European leg of her sellout Eras tour last week.

Some of the Swifties injured in the stabbings in Southport attended her Wembley Stadium shows over the weekend.

They were invited backstage to meet their idol, who posed for photos and gave them cuddles and gifts of merchandise to raise their spirits.

Taylor's mum Andrea, 66, is said to have been instrumental in arranging the meet and greet.
