Taylor Swift Fan Video Shows Singer Struggling to Breathe at Brazil Eras Concert
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is back on her Eras Tour, and her weekend of dates in Rio de Janeiro has been difficult, with an intense heatwave that led to the death of a 23-year-old fan.
After the tragic passing of a fan named Ana Clara Benevides Machado before the Friday, Nov. 17 show, and with the continuing high temperatures, Swift postponed the Saturday concert. Now, fans are sharing a video from Friday that showed the singer facing issues breathing as well.
A fan whose Instagram username is queen.taylor.swiftie shared a video they took at the show in which Swift finished a song and turned around, breathing rapidly while trying to catch her breath.
The fan captioned the clip, "Taylor genuinely looks like she’s struggling to breathe, I really hope she’s okay," while they added in text over the video, "Look at how exhausted Taylor got while putting up a 3.5 hour show in rio during a heat wave...hats off to her."
One fan commented, "She was having breathing problems but was still so dedicated towards finishing the show and didn’t pause it except for when HER FANS were the ones having trouble breathing. i love her so much. no one that cares this much about their fans like Taylor."
Many others commended Swift for her decision to postpone the next night's show, with a comment reading, "I'm actually so glad that she postponed tonight's show. I want her to be okay."
"Taylor, Get enough rest. Take real good care of yourself and everyone??," said another.
Many fans called out the stadium where the concert took place, Estádio Nilton Santos, for limiting water at the venue, as Swift worked hard during the performance to get water to her fans who needed it, pausing the show to allow the staff to pass it out.
The singer has another two concerts in Rio before moving on to her next city, with one on Sunday, Nov. 19, and the Saturday one rescheduled to Monday, Nov. 20.
