Khan told Sky News on Thursday that London is
"looking forward to welcoming Taylor Swift back" as the capital is "an international city" that regularly hosts major events.

"We have a huge amount of experience in policing these events, we’re never complacent, many lessons were learned after the awful Manchester Arena attack," which killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in 2017.

"The police work closely, not just with City Hall, but with councils, but also with those who host concerts, like the Taylor Swift concert coming up over the next couple of weeks."
