 Taylor Swift cancels her Rio de Janeiro show after the death of a fan


Following the death of a fan just before her performance on Friday, Taylor Swift decided to postpone her event in Rio de Janeiro till this Saturday.


Thousands of fans had already gathered in the stadium for his historic Eraz tour when the decision was made.


Swift said on Instagram, "My fans, fellow artists, and crew always come first when it comes to safety and well-being."


A health warning has been issued due to the extraordinary heat in Brazil.


As the heat index—a measure of temperature plus humidity—rose to 59.3C on Friday and 59.7C on Saturday, authorities issued a warning for potential life-threatening conditions.


On Monday, the American pop star's performance will still go place.


The pop singer revealed in an Instagram post that she was "devastated" and that the loss of one of her fans had "shattered" her heart. "She was incredibly beautiful and so young," the diva said.


"I can't believe I'm writing these remarks, but it is with a broken heart that I say we lost a fan before my show tonight," Swift said in a tweet.


"I can't even tell you how devastated I am by this."

The stadium was the location where 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides Machado went for assistance after feeling ill. He passed within an hour after being brought to the hospital.


The Brazilian daily Fohala de Sao Paulo reports that cardiorespiratory arrest has been identified as the cause of death.


The 33-year-old Taylor Swift said that she would not be able to discuss the event on stage because she was always "overwhelmed with grief" when she attempted to do so.


"I want to say now that I feel the defeat deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends."


It was "the last thing" she had anticipated happening on her trip to Brazil, according to her.


Swift claimed to know very little about the passing.


During the show, Swift was subsequently seen pleading with stadium employees to provide water to fans in pictures and videos that went viral on social media.


She was once seen throwing a water bottle into the throng while singing All's Well.


Eduardo Paes, the mayor of Rio, posted on Was.


Flavio Dino, the minister of justice for Brazil, also said on Twitter that attendees need to be permitted to carry water bottles to the event.

Swift's record-breaking tour began in Brazil earlier this week, when the Christ the Redeemer monument in Rio de Janeiro erupted in celebration of her arrival.


Before traveling to Sao Paulo, the pop sensation has two more gigs in Rio planned.


Swift's COVID-19 epidemic forced her to postpone her previously planned national tours.

T4F Entertainment has been approached by the BBC for comment.
