Taylor Swift Shares Heartbreaking Statement As Fan Dies At Brazil Concert, Leaves Her 'Devastated'
Taylor Swift shared a heartbreaking statement after learning that a fan had passed away before her Brazil show on Friday night.
During her sold-out stadium performance in Rio de Janeiro as part of the Eras Tour, the singer took to the stage, but upon finishing her set, she revealed somber news on Instagram.
After the show, the 33-year-old singer shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram story, revealing the heartbreaking news that a fan had passed away before the performance. Taylor expressed her disbelief, writing, "I can't believe I'm writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show."
She went on to add: "My broken heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil."
As temperatures soared to 100 degrees in Brazil, Taylor Swift was visibly feeling the heat while performing on stage. She even paused her show to make sure her fans had sufficient water in the humid conditions last night.
In videos shared on social media from her Evermore era performances, Taylor Swift was spotted waving to venue staff and urging them to bring water to the crowd. In one clip, chants of "water, water, water" from the crowd echoed clearly.
In one video, the singer pauses her show and remarks, "There's people that need water right here, maybe 30, 35, 40 feet back."
"So whoever is in charge of giving them that, just make sure that happens. Can I get a signal that you know where they are?"
Taylor, currently on the tour's second leg, has upcoming performances in Rio on Saturday and Sunday night. In her statement, she mentioned her decision not to address the fan's passing from the stage, citing being "overwhelmed by grief."
