Taylor Swift Wembley live: Taylor Swift wows fans as tour resumes at Wembley
‘Tay-gating’ and mask ban among Wembley security measurespublished at 16:42 British Summer Time
The Met Police say they’re “well prepared” ahead of Taylor Swift’s Wembley concerts, after her Vienna shows had to be cancelled because of an attack plot.
When the Austrian concerts were called off, London’s mayor promised the UK capital would keep hosting Swift’s concerts, despite the threat.
Ticketholders have been provided advice ahead of the concert, Met Police Commander Lou Puddefoot says.
“The public should expect to see officers, security staff and stewards working together in and around the venue and at transport hubs,” she says.
“We continue to ask the public to remain vigilant and if something doesn’t feel right, to report it to a police officer or in an emergency call 999.”
The stadium’s online guide warns fans not to bring a wide array of objects, including weapons, facemasks, chains, chain wallets, studded jewellery or spurs, noise-making devices such as air horns, bells, bullhorns, thunder sticks or aerosol containers – including sunscreen, pepper spray, bug spray, or spray paint.
And there will be no “Tay-gating” allowed – fans without tickets will be moved on.
