Sources said that Attorney General Lord Hermer was asked to intervene after the Metropolitan Police warned that giving the billionaire pop star such protection would breach its protocols.
Taylor Swift was granted blue-light police escorts to her London shows after the Government’s chief law officer put pressure on Scotland Yard, it was claimed last night.
Sources said that Attorney General Lord Hermer, pictured, was asked to intervene after the Metropolitan Police warned that giving the billionaire pop star such protection would breach its protocols. Last night, Downing Street said it never commented on the work of the Attorney General, following the first reports of his involvement in the Sunday Times.
Reports said Ms Swift’s manager, her mother Andrea, then threatened to cancel the remaining concerts at Wembley unless the pop star got a police escort from her hotel.
