Taylor Swift invited two young fans affected by the tragic Southport stabbing to a meet and greet before one of her Eras Tour concerts in London.
The girls’ mom, Sami Foster, shared a montage from the meeting to TikTok on Sunday, showing them hugging Swift backstage before her sold-out show.
The carousel began with a picture of the “Karma” singer with her arms wrapped around two little girls, who were both wearing “Red”-inspired T-shirts and black shorts.

Both girls looked overjoyed as they hugged the 14-time Grammy winner, 34, before getting a photo with both of their parents.
One of the girls notably had a large bandage on her arm with the lyrics, “You drew scars around my stars,” written on top, referencing lyrics from Swift’s song “Cardigan.”
The girls’ mother extended the “biggest thank you” to Swift and her mom, Andrea, for “making the most magical night possible” in the caption of her video.

“Thank you for bringing Hope & Autumn pure happiness last night & always,” she added.
It’s unclear how many other victims from the deadly stabbing attended Swift’s show on Saturday. However, it was reported last week that she “personally reached out” to all the families.
Tragedy struck Southport, England last month after a 17-year-old knifeman attacked attendees at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, leaving three little girls dead and eight injured.
The suspect’s motive remains unknown.

The following day, Swift told her followers she was “at a complete loss” over the devastating 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 her Instagram Story.
“The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders,” she continued. “These were just little kids at a dance class.”

Several members of the British royal family also spoke out about the attack, with King Charles saying he was “profoundly shocked to hear of the utterly horrific incident.”
“We send our most heartfelt condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of those who have so tragically lost their lives, and to all those affected by this truly appalling attack,” the monarch said in a statement at the time.
Swifties raised over $25,000 for the victims’ families.
