News spread like a shock wave regarding the sudden death of Liam Payne of One Direction on October 16, 2024. Taylor Swift, with whom he has been friendly for years, was one of those who were more grieved and might pay tribute to him during the last leg of her Eras Tour, according to reports.

A close source of the singer mentioned that Swift was heartbroken after hearing the news about the untimely demise of Payne.

The two have been friends for years, dating back to when Swift briefly dated Harry Styles, another member of One Direction, in 2012. Though she finally broke off from Styles, Swift and Payne remain close since then. In 2017, Payne himself posted about a thoughtful present and an autobiographical note from Swift, which was one of the closest friends she had.

Payne, 31-years-old, died on Tuesday in Buenos Aires, Argentina after he reportedly fell from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel. He was in Argentina to catch a live show of his former band member, Niall Horan. The witnesses say Payne fell from his balcony at around 5 local time. While responding to a call about an incident with an aggressive man, the police came there. It has been said later that he perhaps was under some drug or alcohol influence while he fell. Swift is set to open the final leg of her Eras Tour on Oct. 18 in Miami, and all signs are that she will not disappoint to pay her respectful tribute to her deceased friend. Although how that tribute might happen has not been announced, fans of the pop icon hold their breaths for a poignant moment while they mourn the sudden passing of Payne.

The tour is scheduled to continue till 8 December when it will culminate in Vancouver. Fans and friends alike are at a loss after the sudden and tragic passing of Payne, something Swift seems to convey through this planned tribute.
