Taylor Swift flew out of Luton airport as thousands of passengers were evacuated after a bomb scare. The 24-year-old singer was driven on to the runway and allowed to leave in her private jet at 4.11pm on Monday while everybody else was forced to leave the premises after a passenger reported seeing a "vapour" coming from a piece of luggage. A source said: "Swift's convoy consisted of a white Porsche, a silver Mercedes van and a black Range Rover. "It had somehow managed to navigate its way to a closed airport and Swift was able to board her flight." Luton airport was closed for four hours from 1:15pm while armed police, the Army and emergency services rushed to the scene in Bedfordshire. The bomb disposal team arrived at 4:30pm and used a robot to blow up the suitcase containing the worrying explosive, which turned out to be hair straighteners.
