“Extreme temperatures” have prompted Taylor Swift to cancel a performance in Rio de Janeiro.
On Saturday, the heat index, an indicator that integrates temperature and humidity, peaked at 59.7°C (139.5°F) in the urban area of Brazil.
In addition, Swift was “devastated” when one of her fans passed away prior to her Friday performance.
After becoming ill, 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides passed away in the infirmary. The cause of her demise has not been disclosed; however, the Brazilian daily newspaper Folha de S Paulo reported that she suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed at the performance.
Videos demonstrated that on Friday, Swift interrupted her performance and requested that the production staff provide water to several admirers who had become ill.

The concerts are taking place at Nilton Santos Stadium, which is situated in a hotter northern neighbourhood away from the refreshing beaches of Rio.
Swift announced the postponement of her Saturday performance on Instagram approximately two hours prior to the scheduled start time.
She stated that the safety and well-being of her crew, admirers, and fellow performers must and always will take precedence.
Upon hearing the postponement, a considerable number of young females wept outside the stadium.
On Sunday, Swift will perform in Rio, Brazil, prior to three performances the following weekend in Sao Paulo.
Heat exhaustion, characterized by symptoms such as headaches, vertigo, shaking, and thirst, is typically not life-threatening. If the individual returns to a comfortable temperature within thirty minutes.
However, heat stroke is a medical emergency and occurs when the body’s central temperature rises above 40.6 degrees Celsius.
Justice Minister Flavio Dino stated that the Brazilian government would issue a directive. This directive would permit the carrying of water flasks into concerts in the wake of Ms. Benevides’ death.
He stated on X, formerly Twitter, that companies producing shows with high heat exposure must provide free drinking water in readily accessible “hydration islands.”
The measure is immediately effective.
