Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy stated on Sky News that any concerns over security arrangements for public events, including those for Taylor Swift, are operational matters for police, not the government. She emphasized that the Home Secretary has no authority to influence the provision of top-level security for an individual, countering claims that Labour had intervened. Nandy firmly rejected any notion that Labour pressured police for a blue-light escort for Swift during her Wembley shows.
Nandy clarified that it is standard procedure for the Home Secretary to be involved in security discussions for major events, especially where there might be risks. However, she firmly stated, 'She doesn't have the power nor would she use it to insist that any individual got the top level of private security arrangements.' This statement aims to dispel the claims made by The Sun regarding the alleged political intervention on behalf of the pop star.
