Summary
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper attended Taylor Swift’s concert in London for free using tickets provided by the music label Universal
- Tickets were given to her husband, former Labour minister Ed Balls, before Swift’s shows in Vienna were cancelled
- Ms. Cooper and Mayor Sadiq Khan urged the Metropolitan Police to give Swift a “VVIP escort” for her Wembley Stadium concerts
- The Met was hesitant due to the expense, as such escorts are typically reserved for royal family members or high-level politicians
