Taylor Swift fan dies before performance in Rio de Janeiro

Taylor Swift expressed her shock on Instagram after her performance at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos. In her story, the artist commented on an incident that occurred during the show. “I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but I’m heartbroken to say we lost a fan before my show tonight,” she said.

Taylor Swift mourns loss of fan

So far, the singer has received little information about the incident. The exact circumstances of his death are not yet known. Since the fan is said to have been waiting in the front row for the show to start, a connection with the currently high temperatures in Brazil cannot be ruled out. The newspaper “Folha de S. Paulo” refers to unofficial information from the local fire department – they stated that around a thousand people fainted around the concert. Fans are also complaining on social media channels that they were forbidden from bringing water into the stadium – even though the temperatures were around 40 degrees Celsius. Apparently Taylor Swift also had to interrupt her show so that fans could get water.

Fainting and cardiac arrest

The woman who died is said to have been 23 years old and had first fainted in the front row and then suffered cardiac arrest twice. The fan ultimately died in the hospital. Swift said she would not be able to speak about the tragic event at upcoming shows on her “Eras” tour because she was “overcome with grief.” “This is the last thing I ever expected when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil.”

Swift is one of the most successful singers of our time. The demand for tickets for the current “Eras” tour was so high that countless fans around the world went away empty-handed. A total of six concerts are planned for Brazil, three of which will take place this weekend (November 17th to 19th) in Rio de Janeiro.
