00:00 Taylor Swift postponed her heiress tour show following a death of a fan.
00:05 On Saturday, the lover-singer took to her Instagram story to notify fans that she decided to postpone her second show in Brazil due to extreme temperatures.
00:15 "I'm writing this for my dressing room in the stadium. The decision has been made to postpone tonight's show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio.
00:24 The safety and well-being of my fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first," Taylor shared.
00:32 The decision to postpone comes just a day after a fan passed away, right before Taylor kicked off her first night of her heiress tour concert in Brazil.
00:41 "I can't believe I'm writing these words but it's with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show.
00:49 I can't even tell you how devastated I am by this. There's very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young."
00:59 The song should have been on Instagram following the tragic news, adding, "I'm not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it.
01:10 I want to say now I feel lost deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends."
01:17 Time for Fun, one of the event organizers, revealed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that 23-year-old Ana Clara Benavides Machado was at the stadium for the show when she started to feel ill and was helped by first responders.
01:32 The statement, which was written in Portuguese, continued to share that Ana was taken to a hospital where she later died.
01:41 Her cause of death has not yet been released.
