Taylor Swift‘s security during her summer concerts at Wembley Stadium sparked dispute with police, who were upset about the strict measures put in place to protect her.
When security protocols were shared with law enforcement, they didn’t want to follow them. Swift then used pressure through the UK government’s top lawyer, according to The Times of London.
Government officials received free tickets to Swift’s shows, and the Metropolitan Police were told to give her extra taxpayer-funded protection during her time in London.
Police argued this level of security is usually reserved for high-ranking government officials and royalty.

Last week, The Sun reported that Swift’s mother and manager, Andrea, had even threatened to cancel the London concerts over fears of a possible assassination attempt on Taylor or her fans.
