"And to honor the lives that were lost, and to honor the families who were affected by that tragic day." The crowd fell silent as Swift continued, her words hanging in the air like a heavy cloud.
"I think it's so important for us to remember the people that we lost, and the impact that it had on all of us," Swift added. "And I think it's the most important thing for us to do, is to honor those people, and to make sure that we never forget what happened on that day." Post Malone stood by Swift's side, nodding in agreement as she spoke.
