Taylor Swift broke her months-long Twitter hiatus to express heartbreak over the deadly shooting that took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
A gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, entered the campus on Tuesday morning and opened fire on unsuspecting students and faculty, resulting in the deaths of 19 children and two teachers.
Ramos was eventually shot dead by a Border Patrol agent following a shoot out with Texas law enforcement officers.
'Filled with rage and grief, and so broken by the murders in Uvalde. By Buffalo, Laguna Woods and so many others,' penned Swift, 32, who shared a speech given by Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr regarding the tragedy.

'By the ways in which we, as a nation, have become conditioned to unfathomable and unbearable heartbreak.
'Steve's words ring so true and cut so deep,' the Grammy Award-winner concluded.
A tearful Kerr delivered his impassioned plea for gun control ahead of his team's game at the Dallas Mavericks' home arena in Dallas, Texas. The arena is located just under four hundred miles away from Uvalde.
'When are we going to do something? I'm tired. I'm so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. I'm so tired,' the coach began, adding that he was also 'tired of the moments of silence.'
He went on to reference the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, better known as HR8, and how it remains in limbo despite being passed by the House Of Representatives in 2019.
