Taylor Swift made a triumphant return to the stage in Brazil after being forced to postpone her second show due to the sweltering heat.
Tragically, a fan lost her life before her first concert in Brazil amid the extreme conditions. Swift, who has been in the news for her sold-out concerts and record-breaking ticket sales, embarked on the international leg of her Eras tour earlier this fall.
In a devastating turn of events, Swift and her community were dealt a heartbreaking blow when she announced that a young fan, Ana Clara Benevides, had died before one of her concerts in Rio de Janeiro.
With an emotional gesture, Swift welcomed the Benevides family to her show in São Paulo. A touching image showed Swift in her dressing room, posing with family, who were wearing T-shirts with the 23-year-old’s face on them.
During the concert in São Paulo, Ana Clara Benevides’ family was present, and video footage from inside the venue captured the visibly emotional family in a private section.
On November 17, Benevides collapsed before attending Swift’s concert and later died at a hospital. The extreme heat wave in Brazil made conditions both inside and outside the venue unbearable for many. Ever mindful of her fans’ well-being, Swift even stopped her concert to address those in the audience who were struggling to find water.
After the concert, Swift learned of Benevides’ death and took to Instagram to express her deep grief. She shared her devastation and heartbreak, saying: “I have very little information other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and too young.”
Unable to speak on stage without being overcome with emotion, Swift sent her deepest condolences to Benevides’ family and friends. He expressed his grief and admitted that this was the last thing he thought would happen when he brought the tour to Brazil.
Finally, Taylor Swift made the difficult decision to postpone her Saturday night concert due to the extreme heat conditions. When she returned to the stage on Sunday, she delivered an emotionally charged performance of her ballad “Bigger Than The Whole Sky,” which many believed was a moving tribute to Benevides.
As Taylor Swift’s Eras tour continues, her next stop will be in Tokyo. The prolific songstress recently announced that “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” will be available to rent at home starting Dec. 13, which also happens to be her birthday. Fans can expect an extended version that includes three songs that were originally cut from the film.
