Taylor Swift has shared a message to the victims involved in the Southport stabbing.

At around 11.50am yesterday (Monday, July 29) Merseyside Police were called to reports of “multiple stabbings” at a property in Hart Street where a Taylor Swift-themed dance event was taking place.

The fully-booked club for children, which was advertised as a dance and yoga workshop as well as bracelet-making, quickly became something “like a horror movie”, witnesses to the deadly stabbings have said.

In a press conference yesterday evening police confirmed that two children were killed while nine more were injured, with six in critical condition. Two adults also have critical injuries.
