"The horror of yesterday's attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I'm just completely in shock," she wrote.
"The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, and first responders.
"These were just little kids at a dance class.
"I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families."
Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Dasilva Aguiar died from injuries sustained in the attack, which sparked days of riots in England after reports emerged the attack was racially motivated.
UK police later said the alleged attacker was born in the UK and had no terrorist links, and blamed an anti-Islam group for sharing misinformation to incite violence.
A 17-year-old youth has been charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.
Swift was forced to cancel three shows in Vienna, Austria, this month after police uncovered planned terrorist attacks.
It has led to increased security arrangements at her London shows.
