Despite being halfway through its development, Taylor Swift’s current tour, The Eras Tour, has placed the American singer at the top and most profitable of the music industry this year. And in addition to becoming the first tour to raise more than $1,000 million dollars, The Eras Tour has certified the enormous roots and impact that the singer has on her followers.
However, the “Shake It Off!” singer’s tour has not been “saved” from unfortunate events that occurred during her concerts. And in addition to the classic inconveniences that usually occur in this type of shows, such as loss, theft or even physical disputes, The Eras Tour was the setting for the unfortunate death of a fan during one of the concerts that Swift gave in Brazil.
Ana Clara Benavides, a 23-year-old Brazilian girl, attended Swift’s presentation at the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium in the city of Rio de Janeiro on November 17. Unfortunately, and before she started the presentation, the Brazilian fainted in the middle of the presentation. Hours later, and inside the hospital, Benavides lost his life.
I know where Taylor is coming from in saying this, but the LEAST she can do is say her name on stage. Her name is Ana Clara Benavides Machado. She had dreams, goals, and a family who loved her. She loved @taylorswift13 and was finally going to see her in concert. pic.twitter.com/rCRiSdJMA1

Although it was initially postulated that the high temperatures and the wind chill in the stadium could have been factors in Ana Clara’s death, the truth is that the true reason for her death remained unknown to this day thanks to revelations from Brazilian authorities. .
Why did the young Brazilian die at the Taylor Swift concert in Brazil?
According to the report of the Forensic Medical Institute of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Ana Clara Benavides suffered cardiorespiratory arrest due to heat exhaustion. The report from Brazilian authorities, which was obtained by The Associated Press, also indicates that no substances were found that could have caused the death of the South American girl.
Prior to the revelation of Benavides’ death, the Rio de Janeiro prosecutor’s office opened a criminal investigation that is expected to progress towards the declaration of representatives of the company that organizes the event.
What did Taylor Swift say after the death of Ana Clara Benavides?
After the death of the Brazilian, Taylor Swift used her social networks to express the deep pain caused by the death of Ana Clara.
I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but with a broken heart I tell you that we lost a fan tonight before my show. I can’t even express how devastated I am by this. There is very little information I have, other than the fact that she was incredibly beautiful and very young.”
In addition to the above, and as a show of solidarity for the death of Benavides in addition to avoiding further incidents, Taylor Swift and her production team decided to cancel the second concert in Rio de Janeiro. After this, the singer invited the Brazilian’s entire family to her presentation in addition to approaching them and offering her full support in the face of the unfortunate loss.
