Taylor Swift Pays Tribute to Fan Who Died at Concert Amid Heatwave
The pop star postponed a subsequent concert due to extreme temperatures, as authorities investigate the incident and the deceased fan's father calls for justice.
- Taylor Swift performed an emotional rendition of 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky' during her concert in Brazil, which fans speculate was a tribute to Ana Clara Benevides, a fan who died at a previous concert due to heat-induced cardiac arrest.
- Benevides' death occurred during a heatwave in Rio de Janeiro, with temperatures reaching 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Fans reported dangerous conditions at the concert, including not being allowed to bring water into the stadium.
- Swift postponed her concert the day after Benevides' death due to the extreme heat, prioritizing the safety of her fans, fellow performers, and crew.
- Benevides' father has called for justice for his daughter, questioning the event's prohibition on bringing water and the adequacy of medical assistance provided.
- The office of Rio’s public prosecutor has opened a criminal investigation into Benevides' death, and Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes has directed concert organizers to allow fans entry into the stadium earlier, increase water distribution points, and increase ambulances.
