The music world was rocked by a tragic incident at a dance workshop themed around Taylor Swift’s music, where a knife attack left three children dead and nine others injured. The pop star herself expressed her shock and sympathy on Instagram, stating she was at a loss for words to convey her emotions.
Swift, who had recently performed in nearby Liverpool as part of her European tour, described the horror of the attack as washing over her. In response to the tragedy, her fans have rallied together and raised over £180,000 for the families of the victims.
The crowdfunding efforts, led by the Taylor Swift UK & EU Facebook group, will benefit Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, where many of the injured were treated. The group is also raising funds for the funerals of the two young victims.
Cristina Jones, a representative from the group, praised Swift’s heartfelt statement and expressed gratitude for her support. She emphasized the importance of focusing on the affected families during this difficult time.
The attack, which also left two adults critically injured, was carried out by a 17-year-old boy who has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. Police have stated that the motivation behind the attack is unclear and is not believed to be terror-related. The community continues to come together to support the victims and their families during this tragic time.
