The moment should have been magical, but it ended in tragedy. A young Brazilian fan of American singer Taylor Swift died in Rio de Janeiro on Friday evening after feeling unwell due to the oppressive heat in the room where the superstar’s concert was taking place as part of the spectacular tour The Eras Tour.
Ana Clara Benevides, 23, lost consciousness at Nilton Santos Stadium, organizer T4F wrote on Instagram. The young girl was quickly treated by medical personnel and died at Salgado Filho Hospital as soon as she arrived there, he said.
In shock, Taylor Swift posted a long handwritten letter on Instagram to express her sadness and condolences to the young girl’s family. “I didn’t think something like this could happen when we decided to organize this tour in Brazil. I am devastated”, She wrote. Before adding: “I want to say that I feel this loss deeply and my heartbreak goes out to his family and friends».
Around 60,000 fans gathered for the singer’s sold-out concert in Rio de Janeiro on Friday evening, a day with temperatures around 38 degrees. During the concert, several audience members felt sick, prompting Taylor Swift to stop the performance and ask the production team to provide the audience with water, according to videos from the show.
Last March, the 33-year-old singer embarked on her triumphant sixth tour The Eras Tour. In June she announced three French dates in 2024. Two of them (May 9th and 10th) will take place at Paris’s huge La Défense Arena and the other (June 2nd) at Lyon’s Groupama stadium.
