SIR Keir Starmer met Taylor Swift and her mother at Wembley after No10 "pressured" police to give the superstar VIP taxpayer funded security.
The PM accepted £2,600 worth of tickets to the final night of the Eras tour in London from Swift's music label - and introduced his family to the billionaire singer.
The Sun can reveal meeting lasted 10 minutes backstage after No10 previously refused to comment amid a growing conflict of interest row.
The freebie came after Sir Keir's Chief of Staff Sue Gray had negotiated with Taylor's mother Andrea over blue-light outriders for the star amid threats to cancel the five sell-out gigs in August.
Cops had originally rejected the plea for publicly funded specialist security that is usually reserved for leaders and Royals.
They had said no to the expensive outriders to whisk the superstar to Wembley insisting there was no threat against the concerts or the star.
But as the Sun revealed yesterday Andrea, who acts as Taylor’s manager, threatened to cancel them if their demands were not met after three dates in Vienna were pulled due to the threat of an Islamist attack.
Attorney General Richard Hermer was dragged into Swiftgate with Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan — who were also involved in efforts to get Scotland Yard to think again.
The cops finally relented after legal advice was provided saying it would not set a protocol breaking precedent.
Last night sources said the PM and Taylor discussed the horrific murders in Southport at a Taylor Swift-inspired dance class, which had taken place the previous month.
Both Starmer and the star had met affected families are the barbaric attack saw three young girls slain.
The PM later repaid the freebie to Universal Music, alongside more more than £2,000 of other donors giveaways following a major freeloading backlash.
The meet-up came after the Met eventually decided to give the Shake It Off singer taxpayer funded blue-light security, with senior Labour politicians admitting they were involved in talks about the move.
A No10 spokesperson this afternoon insisted it was "entirely legitimate" for ministers to hold talks with cops about security for major events.
But asked whether the PM and Cruel Summer songstress met up, they said: "I don't have any updates."
Pressed again on whether Downing St could deny Sir Keir met Swift after intervening in security arrangements, they added: "Again, first and foremost these are operational decisions that are taken by the Metropolitan Police, and you have seen their statements confirming that themselves.
"At the same time it is right and expected that the Government, mayor and police do have a dialogue and discuss the policing of major events in the capital."
Sir Keir attended the Wembley show after being gifted freebie tickets by Swift's music label.
The row has led to questions in the Commons — including over who instructed the Government’s top lawyer to soothe police fears.
Shadow Cabinet Office minister John Glen asked: “What role did Downing Street play in the VIP escort, further to the free tickets for Taylor Swift from Universal Music?”
Chair of the Labour Party Ellie Reeves declined to comment.
