A third revealed the concert was the “worst experience” of their life, stating they returned home without seeing the star and worse yet, they were covered in “bruises and burns”.
The Brazilian leg of Swift’s world tour has been faced with heartbreaking ordeals, including the death of 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides Machado, who reportedly fainted at the show and later died after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Overwhelmed with grief, Swift took to social media with her condolences, writing, “I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show. 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.
“I’m not going to be able to speak about this from the stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it. I want to say now I feel this loss deeply, and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil.”
A day later, the Lover singer made the call to postpone her second Brazil concert due to extreme temperatures.
It’s understood authorities warned of the danger to life before the concerts as they recorded numbers on its heat index — combining temperature and humidity — that reached 59.3C on Friday followed by 59.7C on Saturday.
Swift is yet to respond to fans who have shared photos of their burns.
