Taylor Swift cried like rain on stage

Page Six reported that Taylor Swift returned to the stage at Estádio Nilton Santos stadium in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) on November 19 after the death of a fan due to heat and dehydration while going to the show two days earlier.

Although not directly mentioning the victim, “Country Music Princess” is said to commemorate the ill-fated student Ana Clara Benevides with the song Bigger Than Whole Sky .

In the rain, Taylor was filled with tears while playing and singing emotional lyrics: “Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye/ You were bigger than the whole sky/ You were more than just a short time/ I ‘m never gonna meet/ What could’ve been, would’ve been/ What should’ve been you/ What could’ve been, would’ve been you/ No words appear before me in the aftermath/ Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears/ Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness. I could never meet the you of the future/ No words appeared before me then/ Salt flowed from my eyes and into my ears/ Everything I touched became sad).Taylor Swift fights back tears on Eras Tour stage after shock death of two  young fans - OK!

Fans filmed the emotional moment, shared it on TikTok and quickly became a trend. Everyone believed that Taylor’s performance was dedicated to Ana.

Netizens commented: “She performed that song for the unfortunate girl, I cried too”, “She expressed herself on that piano, you can see that she did it all it’s for Ana”, “I can feel her pain”, “Singing Bigger Than Whole Sky is the best way to remember Ana and we know it from Taylor’s voice”, “This is why she is the queen of our hearts”…

According to Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo , Ana passed out right before the show started on November 17. Medical staff performed artificial respiration on the 23-year-old female student for 40 minutes and successfully made her heart beat again. Unfortunately, Ana suffered a second cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after.

“I lost my only daughter, a happy and intelligent girl. She’s about to graduate with a degree in psychology next April. I have no words to express my pain. She left home to fulfill her dream and returned dead,” the victim’s father told the news agency.

On Instagram Story, Taylor expressed her shock and condolences to the unfortunate female fan: “I can’t believe I’m writing these lines with a broken heart. I have to announce that we lost a fan before my show. I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this.”

Following Ana’s death, showgoers spoke out about dangerous conditions at the event venue amid Brazil’s extreme heatwave. An American fan recalled seeing a girl faint in front of him. He also saw many people leave during the concert because they couldn’t stand the heat.

In the video posted on X (Twitter), Taylor was seen drenched in sweat and had to pause the performance to ask the staff to give water to the audience. In another video, the Anti-Hero star was captured panting in the sweltering heat. Less than 24 hours later, Taylor decided to postpone the November 18 concert to ensure the health and safety of fans and show crew.
