Welcome to the latest Taylor Swift podcast, here are today's top Taylor Swift news stories. In London, a tragic incident unfolded in Southport where three young girls were fatally stabbed during a Taylor Swift themed dance workshop. The attack shocked the community and led to a peaceful vigil turning chaotic as far-right protesters clashed with police, resulting in over 20 officers injured. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violence and emphasized the need for unity. The Liverpool Region Mosque Network clarified that the attack was unrelated to the Muslim community, urging against the spread of hatred. Families of the victims expressed their heartbreak and even Taylor Swift shared her shock on social media. The suspect, a 17-year-old from Cardiff, was arrested shortly after the attack. This heartbreaking event has sparked discussions about rising knife crime in the UK, highlighting the urgent need for safety and compassion in society. The community continues to rally in support of the victims and their families during this difficult time. The German city of Gelsenkirchen, which joyfully renamed itself Swiftkirchen for Taylor Swift's concerts in July, has received an overwhelming response with around 1,400 bids for the special signs. This exciting name change was part of the festivities surrounding her three concerts on July 17th, 18th, and 19th. The city auctioned off 20 original Swiftkirchen signs with the highest bid reaching an impressive 3,000 euros, showcasing the enthusiasm of fans both locally and internationally. Proceeds from the auction will benefit important community initiatives, including a center for girls, a children's food bank, and a women's shelter in Gelsenkirchen. Additionally, one of the signs will be displayed at the house Dergeschichte Museum in Bonn, known for its rich soccer culture, and as a former coal mining hub, Gelsenkirchen is embracing this vibrant moment while supporting its community. Shep. In the wake of a tragic knife attack in Southport, England, the family of a young girl who attended a Taylor Swift themed dance class has shared their heartfelt gratitude for the community's support. They revealed that their seven-year-old daughter, Teddy, was present during the horrific incident which claimed the life of her best friend. The family expressed their sorrow and admiration for the local police who bravely intervened to detain the suspect, a 17-year-old boy from Wales. They clarified that it was everyday officers, not armed units, who responded quickly to protect the children. While the community mourns, they also condemned the ongoing riots, urging everyone to stop the violence in honor of the victims.
