JAN MOIR: With all the Swifties, I wore my sequins in hope and defiance last night. And despite all that's happened, we were lifted by sheer joy By Jan Moir for the Daily Mail Published: 02:07, 16 August 2024 | Updated: 02:07, 16 August 2024 e-mail View comments Last night I went to the Taylor Swift concert in London, the first she has performed since her three shows in Vienna were cancelled because of a terrorist threat. And the first since a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport left three children dead and ten others wounded , with five of them still in a critical condition.
These tragedies carry their own weight of heartbreak and inconsolable loss, but it seems particularly piercing that the cluster of malevolence should gather around Swift, a performer who has spread nothing but joy around the world since her Eras tour began in March 2023. For her and us, it was an emotional return to the stage, our mutual presence a fightback against the forces of darkness. ‘Well hello, London, we have arrived!’ Taylor Swift cried after performing Cruel Summer The singer wears her iconic pink sparkly Lover bodysuit as she kicks off the show at Wembley ‘Well hello, London, we have arrived!’ she cried after performing Cruel Summer at the start of her show.
‘Well fancy meeting you here at Wembley Stadium,’ she added, looking emotional at the rapturous welcome from the 92,000 crowd. By the time all 150 dates on the world’s biggest ever concert tour end.
