Swift did not immediately address the incident as she stepped out at Wembley in front of 90,000 fans.
The megastar wowed ecstatic swifties as she rolled through a medley of her greatest hits.
She got the show on the road wearing huge peach-coloured feathers as she sung Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince.
The music icon donned a range of outfits as she put on a high octane performance in the capital.
Following the horror stabbing rampage in Southport last month, Swift had released a statement saying she was in “complete shock”.
In a post on Instagram, the 34-year-old said: “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock.
“The loss of life and innocence and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, the first response.
“These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies.
“I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”
Taylor Swift & Her Evolving Girl Gang: A Strategic Friendship
The Sun previously reported that “strict presidential level” security was established for Taylor and her entourage for the latest leg of her Eras tour.
Metropolitan police presence has been ramped up around Wembley Stadium, and fans have been asked not to gather outside the event without tickets.
Swifties were shocked last week when all three Eras Tour concerts at Vienna, Austria‘s Ernst Happel Stadium were cancelled after police foiled an ISIS terror plot.
Some of the suspects were reportedly hired to work at the event and had knives, machetes, and the makings for dirty bombs they planned to use to cause destruction.
It’s believed that a 19-year-old suspect planned to drive a car into the crowds outside the show.
Swift has not publicly commented on the plot or cancellations since the shows were scrapped and tickets refunded.
The Eras Tour kicked off at the beginning of March 2023 and has generated massive income for the star.
It is estimated it could make the Cruel Summer singer $5.7 billion by year-end.
Forbes confirmed Taylor as the highest-grossing female touring artist of all time.
