“After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting,” Swift told Elle in 2019, “I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn’t know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months. There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe.” And although her fear of violence has continued in her personal life, she doesn’t want it to control her.
“Every day I try to remind myself of the good in the world, the love I’ve witnessed, and the faith I have in humanity,” Swift continued. “We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears.”
