Approximately 90 000 fans are expected to fill London’s Wembley Stadium for the first of five shows, with heightened security measures in place, including additional ticket checks. Three suspected Islamic State sympathisers have been arrested in connection with the plot, which was thwarted with assistance from US intelligence.
“The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock,” Swift said in an Instagram Live post.
