This is a special edition of Taylor Swift Today with breaking news as Taylor responds to the Southport stabbings.

A tragic incident unfolded in Southport, Merseyside, as a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class left three children dead and six others in critical condition. Taylor has  expressed her shock and sympathy on Instagram, writing:

"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, and first responders. These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families."
