Can’t shake it off: Global superstar sets up Swift response for trauma

Taylor Swift has revealed she is so terrified of a terror attack at one of her shows she now carries stab and gunshot bandages with her everywhere she goes. 

In an interview with Elle, the music sensation explained: "After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, I was completely terrified to go on tour."

The star is referring to the Manchester attack that took place in May 2017, when suicide bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 at an Ariana Grande concert.

Just months following this, another brutal attack took place at a country music festival in Las Vegas. 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire from his hotel room, killing 58 people and leaving nearly 900 injured.

Taylor spoke of her worry at keeping her millions of fans safe throughout the seven month Reputation Tour in 2018.

The star assured that "there was a tremendous amount of planning, expense, and effort put into keeping my fans safe”.

As mass-casualty events and violent attacks continue to rise, military and emergency medicine experts are recommending that public venues install bleeding control kits for at least 20 victims. 

The American Journal of Public Health have revealed that the average active-shooter event involves 5 to 11 victims and fatality rates ranged from 21 to 51 %, which public bleeding control kits could help to reduce.

Equipping public spaces to facilitate rapid point-of-injury hemorrhage control after mass casualty incidents has never been more important.
