During Taylor Swift’s three-day performance in Rio de Janeiro, tragedy struck when a 23-year-old fan, Ana Clara Benevides, died at the concert due to extreme heat. Standing in a densely packed crowd amid scorching temperatures, Benevides suffered a stroke leading to a cardiac arrest.
While Taylor expressed grief over the fan’s death, she faced backlash from netizens for what some perceived as a lack of acknowledgment during the concert. However, inside sources have disclosed that Swift and her team have privately reached out to Ana’s family.
The Sun reported that Taylor’s team has been in contact with the family, with a source emphasizing that making these actions public could lead to accusations of exploiting the situation. The source stated, “Right now Twitter is awash with claims she and her team have turned a blind eye to the tragedy but the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Taylor’s inner circle has privately reached out to offer their support in any way that they can. Everyone from the top down is shaken by the tragedy.”
The source also revealed that Taylor’s new boyfriend, Travis Kelce, has been a pillar of support during this challenging time. The insider mentioned, “Of course, her team is like her family and has been there for her, but Travis really has been her rock.”
In a tribute to Ana, Taylor shared a statement on social media expressing her devastation over the loss. The chief executive of the company organizing Taylor Swift’s tour dates in Brazil issued an apology for the tragic incident, as fans vented their anger, alleging that they were not allowed to bring water bottles into the stadium despite the intense heat.
