Taylor Swift postpones her concert in Rio de Janeiro after a fan died from extreme heat during the live show.

“I'm writing this from my locker room at the stadium,” Swift wrote on Instagram.

«The decision has been made to postpone tonight's show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio. The safety and well-being of my fans, fellow artists and crew must and will always come first,” he added.

Ana Clara Benevides Machado , a 23-year-old fan who was among a crowd of 60 thousand people at the Nilton Santos stadium in Rio de Janeiro, died during the first evening of the "Eras Tour" in Brazil, struck down by a cardiorespiratory attack probably caused by the unprecedented heat that has hit the city for a few days.

The girl had been exposed for a long time to a temperature close to 40 degrees, waiting for the show to start. According to the reconstruction of the victim's friends on local TV, she would have fainted a few minutes after the opening of the show . Rescued and transported by ambulance to the Salgado Filho hospital, there was nothing that could be done for the young woman originally from the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
