Liam Payne's death leaves Taylor Swift 'devastated'; plans tribute during Eras Tour finale: Report

The heartbreaking news of Liam Payne's death sent shockwaves throughout the industry. Reports indicate that Payne fell from the third floor of his hotel in the Palermo area. Emergency services confirmed his death after responding to the incident at the hotel. The 31-year-old artist's sudden passing has left friends and fans in sorrow as they mourn Liam's loss. Taylor Swift is among those who are grieving.

As per a report, she may honor the late artist during the concluding segment of her Eras Tour. A source informed the Daily Mail that the 34-year-old star is "heartbroken" since learning about Liam's passing. “She is really sad about this because she came up with those boys, and she had a lot of love for Liam. He was always good to her,” said the source to the news outlet.

Liam and Taylor’s friendship goes back to when Taylor was in a relationship with Liam’s bandmate, Harry Styles, in 2012. Since then, they have maintained a strong bond, even after her breakup with Styles. In 2017, during the Jingle Bell Ball, the Strip That Down singer mentioned that Taylor had sent him a gift basket along with a lovely handwritten note. Speaking to On Demand Entertainment, Liam said, “She (Swift) actually sent me a nice little hamper of new Reputation merchandise. She has very nice handwriting if she wrote it.”

The final segment of Taylor’s Eras Tour is set to kick off on October 18, just two days after Liam’s tragic passing. The first concert will be held in Miami, Florida, and this successful tour will wrap up in Vancouver on December 8. It remains uncertain what kind of tribute Taylor has in store for Liam.
