Taylor Swift reached out to the families of the victims that were killed in a mass stabbing in Southport, England last month ahead of her defiant return to the stage in London, according to a report.
The 14-time Grammy winner, 34, resumed her sold-out Eras tour in London Thursday night, where she kicked off a 5-night run of her last European leg of the global tour.
The gig was said to have been Swift’s “hardest concert of her career” after three little girls were killed at a dance class inspired by Swift’s music.

Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6, were killed when a knifeman entered the dance class on July 29. Ten others were seriously injured.
“Taylor may not have spoken about Elsie Dot, Alice and Bebe on stage but she has reached out to their families,” a source told the Sun. “It is something that has weighed heavily on her mind.”
The Post has reached out to Swift’s reps for comment.
Just one day after tragedy struck, Swift released a statement saying she was “completely in shock” over the news.

“The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock…,” the “Fortnight” hitmaker wrote on July 30.
“The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders.”

“These were just little kids at a dance class,” Swift continued in a message to her 283 million Instagram followers.
“I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”

Following the horrific attack, Swift’s fans have raised thousands of dollars for the families of the victims.
The “So Long, London” hitmaker was then forced to pull the plug on three of her Vienna shows due to a foiled terror plot.

On Aug. 7, local authorities in Vienna announced the arrest of three teens, who pledged allegiance to ISIS, and reportedly “wanted to carry out an attack” outside of Ernst Happel Stadium to kill “as many people as possible.”
The suspects, aged 15 to 19, allegedly planned on using homemade explosives and knives in the attack.
