Taylor Swift fan dies before 'The Eras Tour' concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Описание к видео Taylor Swift fan dies before 'The Eras Tour' concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Would you endure extreme temperatures to see Taylor Swift in concert?

Taylor Swift fans try to survive record-breaking heatwave in Brazil.

Huge crowds of people were waiting all day in the sun to get into her concert. Firefighters sprayed fans down with water to try and help with the heat. Yesterday had record-breaking temperatures of 104° outside with the heat index of 140° inside the stadium.

I definitely agree with postponing the concert, but the decision should not have taken so long. Fans waited out in the hot sun all day. The show was finally canceled one hour before it was set to start.

The frustrating part is that the show was canceled at 6 PM. Right when the sun was going down and the temperatures were cooling off.

The horrible part is that over 60,000 heat exhausted, disappointed fans were displaced in the city without transportation. Uber was charging over R$200 per ride. Show transportation buses announced they would take three hours to reposition. Buses couldn't start taking people home until after 9 PM.

This left thousands of vulnerable people in the streets at night. Mass robberies with guns started happening around the stadium. Check my stories for news articles.

My husband came to pick us up and made it through the crowds to find us. We were lucky, but many weren't. I am so saddened this.

A 23 year old young woman died at Taylor Swift's concert here in Rio de Janeiro and thousands received medical treatment due to the record breaking heatwave sweeping the region. Outside water was not allowed in the stadium and people were waiting for hours in the sun. Outside temperatures were 104°F but inside the stadium, the heat index was around 140°F. Maycee and I were exhausted from standing for hours in the heat and drenched in sweat. However, we were OK because we had lots of water.

I was sad to see so many heartbroken Swifties but the heat was unbearable. Our condolences to the family of Ana Clara Benevides who lost their loved one this weekend due to extreme temperatures.

Tonight's show has been postponed to Monday, November 20.
