Two children have died and six others are fighting for their lives after a mass stabbing at a Swifty-themed children’s party in Southport.

Taylor Swift’s fanbase leapt into action following the Southport stabbing tragedy, where two young children were tragically killed at a themed party. 

Swifties across the nation are mobilising to support the victims’ families and those who remain in a critical condition after the horrific knife assault.

Fans have already raised over £17,000 for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, aiming to provide comfort through donations and friendship bracelets for children being treated for their injuries.

The Taylor Swift UK and EU group on Facebook is spearheading this charitable drive, with admins Cristina and Holly leading the charge.

The heartfelt appeal by the organisers read: “We are working with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital to help raise money for the families affected by the tragedy in Southport,” further noting, “And raising funeral funds for the two young swifties who have tragically passed.”

Further showing their solidarity, they stated on the JustGiving page: “Every donation through this link goes directly to the verified charity below, which will in turn help make a difference to those impacted in a time of great sadness. Forever and always, thank you.”

In an overwhelming surge of support, the donation counter has witnessed contributions from over a thousand individuals, pushing the total to a staggering £17,200-plus. Christina Jones from the Facebook group mentioned: “Following the news of the children attacked at the Taylor Swift event in Stockport today, we will be working together to send gifts to the children in the hospital.”

A community group’s heartfelt plea for assistance captures the essence of local spirit, as they rally to support young Swifties in crisis. In a passionate online call-to-action, the group implored: “If you run a swiftie business and can donate or sell anything very cheap to us to include in our gift parcels please contact me asap. We are also taking donation donations via paypal which I’ll link in the comments. Myself, Molly and Holly from the admin team will be leading the charge. Thank you,” offering a beacon of hope amidst great distress.

Meanwhile, Southport is reeling from a harrowing event that saw a nursery besieged by violence, promptly declared a “major incident” by authorities. Just before noon on Monday, a chilling scene played out, with confirmation arriving that nine children suffered injuries, six grappling with life-threatening conditions alongside two adults.

A teenage suspect from Banks is now in police custody, but investigators have clarified that terrorism does not appear to be the motive. A notable police presence marked both the crime scene and a related property in Banks that was sectioned off for investigation.

In a bizarre twist of fate, a celebration of pop sensation Taylor Swift turned nightmarish when a knife-wielding assailant entered Hart Space during a dedicated dance party. Merseyside Police Chief Constable Serena Kennedy revealed the shocking details in an evening briefing, affirming: “It is understood that the children were attending a Taylor Swift event at a dance school when the offender, who was armed with a knife, walked into the premises and started to attack those inside.”

Police were summoned to a horrific scenario at 11:47am following alerts of an attack, with Kennedy disclosing: “When they arrived they were shocked to find that multiple people, many of whom were children, had been subjected to a ferocious attack and had suffered serious injuries.”
