Taylor Swift's request for armed police protection at her Wembley gigs was declined by the Met Police, despite a political dispute over security measures for her performances.
Labour politicians, including Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, faced accusations of pressuring the Met Police to grant a police escort to Taylor Swift, which usually is exclusive for high-profile figures.
Swift's mother, Andrea, sought security assurances after a foiled suicide bomb plot at her daughter's prior concerts, signaling heightened concern over potential threats during the London shows.
The Met Police emphasized that their operational decisions are independent and based on a thorough assessment of threat, risk, and harm, maintaining authority over security arrangements.
