Pop icon Taylor Swift recently broke down while meeting the survivors and families of the three children who passed away during the Southport stabbing attacks via Page Six.
In the first episode of her Disney+ docuseries, “The End of an Era,” the singer could be seen walking into a secluded room with her mom, Andrea Swift, after leaving the meet-up.
Taylor immediately sat down, sobbed and looked to the matriarch for comfort.
“I know you helped them. I know it doesn’t seem like it, but you helped them,” Andrea told her while handing her a tissue to wipe her tears.
However, Taylor cried into her hands while her mom pulled her in for a hug.
“From a mental standpoint, I just live in a reality that is very unreal a lot of the time, but it’s my job to kinda be able to handle all these feelings and then perk up immediately to perform,” she reflected.
“That’s just the way it’s got to be.”
Earlier in the episode, the pop icon cried while “having a hard time explaining” the aftermath of the attacks ahead of her first London stop in Wembley Stadium.
“But this was the first [show] I feel like – I don’t know – I’m skating on thin ice or something. We’ve had a series of violent, scary things happen to the tour,” she continued, referencing the July stabbings, plus the thwarted Vienna terrorist plot that led her to cancel three concerts.
“Like we dodged a massacre situation and so I’ve just been kind of all over the place. There was this horrible attack in Liverpool at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party and it was little kids that …” she began to explain before breaking down into tears and taking a break from filming the interview.
