At Last - A Galvanizing Climate Headline: Heatstroke Death At Taylor Swift Concert In Brazil

[hatrack]

NOW the world will act!!! BTW, if you'd like some straight no chaser What The Fuck, read the whole Guardian article.

Taylor Swift has said she is “devastated” after a fan died before her concert in Rio de Janeiro on Friday. The singer posted on Instagram before the first of three concerts in the Brazilian city as part of her Eras world tour.

She said she was “overwhelmed by grief” and would not be talking about the death on stage that evening. Swift, 33, said: “I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with 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.”

She said her heart went out to the fan’s family and friends, and it was the “last thing I thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil”. The fan was named by Brazilian newspaper Fohla de S Paulo as Ana Clara Benevides, 23, who had fainted at the show and had a cardiac arrest.

Concertgoers had reported sweltering conditions at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos, where the concert was held. Swift briefly paused the concert so water could be given to fans, and could later be seen throwing a bottle of water to fans in the crowd while she was singing. They had been heard chanting “water, water, water, water”.
