Taylor Swift Ministers face questions on Met security
The Guardian
|October 10, 2024
Ministers are facing questions over whether they intervened to grant Taylor Swift VIP police protection in order to stop her cancelling her London concerts.
James Cleverly, the shadow home secretary, wrote to his opposite number, Yvette Cooper, yesterday to ask whether she had personally made representations.
Swift performed at Wembley in August, days after she pulled out of three planned concerts in Vienna after police foiled a terrorist plot. The pop star and her entourage were provided with a police convoy by the Special Escort Group (SEG), a specialist unit of the Metropolitan police which is ordinarily reserved for the royal family and senior politicians.
