Taylor Swift was so shaken by the deadly suicide bomb attack at Ariana Grande's Manchester concert, she increased her security at shows and carried gun wound bandages with her wherever she went.
The 29-year-old pop singer said she was hesitant to tour after the devastating Manchester Arena suicide bomb attack in May 2017 that killed 22 and injured 500 which was followed by the Las Vegas Harvest festival shooting that killed 58 just five months later.
She revealed having such a violent attack happen at her own concert was her 'biggest fear'.
'After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, 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,' she wrote in a piece entitled 30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30 published in the April issue of Elle.

Instead of hiding, she beefed up her concert security measures and introduced facial recognition technology at her shows to scan the crowd and target her known stalkers.
Her 'fear of violence' was so bad she started to carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing with her in case anybody got hurt
Swift's known to have several stalkers including a man named Roger Alvarado who was sentenced to six months behind bars in December for breaking into her New York home and crawling into her bed.
'There was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe,' Swift said on her latest tour.
But her growing 'fear of violence' seeped into her personal life too.
'I carry QuikClot army grade bandage dressing, which is for gunshot or stab wounds,' she revealed.
She's also known to constantly be surrounded by an entourage of security guards.

Swift said her greatest fear was that a violent attack would take place at one of her shows. Grande pictured seeking at the arena at her One Love Manchester benefit concert following the attack in June 2017
'Websites and tabloids have taken it upon themselves to post every home address I’ve ever had online. You get enough stalkers trying to break into your house and you kind of start prepping for bad things,' she added.
Despite her worries, the Bad Blood singer completed her 53-date Reputation tour which wrapped up in November in Tokyo.
The Shake It Off crooner says she tries not to focus on fear in her life and tries to focus instead on the good in humanity.
'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 said.
'We have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears,' she added.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
