After the horrific knife attack in Southport, England, in which two children were killed and several others were seriously injured, Taylor Swift has spoken out on social media. The horror of the attack constantly overwhelms her, the singer writes in an Instagram story.
“I am in complete shock. The loss of life and innocence, and the terrible trauma that was inflicted on everyone who was there – the families, the first responders. They were just little kids in a dance class. I just don’t know how I can ever express my condolences to those families,” the 34-year-old continued.
Taylor Swift fans launch fundraising appeal
The incident occurred on Monday during a Taylor Swift workshop with dance and yoga sessions in the English coastal town of Southport. A 17-year-old killed two children and injured nine others, six of whom are currently in critical condition. In addition, two adults who were apparently trying to protect the children were critically injured. The suspected perpetrator was arrested by the police, but nothing is yet known about the motive.
Meanwhile, fans of Taylor Swift have started a fundraising campaign under the motto “Swifties for Southport” to support the victims and their families. Over £49,000 has been raised so far. “We are working with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital to raise money for the families affected by the tragedy in Southport and to raise money for the funerals of the two little Swifties who tragically lost their lives,” writes organizer Cristina Jones on the fundraising website.
Prince William and his wife Princess Kate also commented on the horrific attack on social media. “As parents, we cannot even begin to imagine what the families, friends and loved ones of those killed or injured in Southport today must be going through,” they said on “X”, formerly Twitter.
