Taylor Swift postponed an Saturday after a 23-year-old fan died during her Friday night show, according to a message posted on the singerB次元官网网址檚 Instagram.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 writing this from my dressing room in the stadium. The decision has been made to postpone tonightB次元官网网址檚 show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio,B次元官网网址� the singer said in a handwritten note on Instagram. B次元官网网址淭he safety and well being of my fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first.B次元官网网址�

The cause of death for Ana Clara Benevides Machado, the young woman who sought medical attention at Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium during FridayB次元官网网址檚 show, has not yet been announced. The office of RioB次元官网网址檚 public prosecutor opened a criminal investigation and said BenevidesB次元官网网址� body was being examined.

BenevidesB次元官网网址� death shook many people in Brazil. She had taken her first flight ever to travel from the countryB次元官网网址檚 center-west region to Rio to see her favorite musician. She also created a WhatsApp group to keep her family updated, sending photos and videos every step of the way, family members told online news site G1.

Fans and politicians reacted to her death with outrage, speculating it was linked to extreme heat.

Concertgoers complained they were not allowed to take water into the stadium despite the stifling weather. As temperatures continued to rise Saturday and with two more shows to go at the time, federal authorities announced that free water would now be made available at concerts and other large events.

One of BenevidesB次元官网网址� friends, who also went to the concert, told local outlets they had both been given water while waiting to enter the stadium.

In a previous statement shared on her social media Saturday morning, Swift said she had a B次元官网网址渟hattered heart.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淭hereB次元官网网址檚 very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young,B次元官网网址� the singer wrote of the young woman.

The showB次元官网网址檚 organizer, Time4Fun, said on Instagram that paramedics attended to Benevides after she reported feeling unwell. She was taken to a first-aid center and then to a hospital, where she died an hour later, the statement from the Brazilian live entertainment company said.

Fans who attended the Friday show said they were not allowed to bring water bottles into the stadium even though Rio and most of Brazil have had record-breaking temperatures this week amid . The daytime high in Rio on Friday was 39.1 degrees Celsius (102.4 degrees Fahrenheit), but it felt much hotter.

Apparent temperature B次元官网网址� a combination of temperature and humidity B次元官网网址� hit 59 C (138 F) Friday morning in Rio, the highest index ever recorded there.

Elizabeth Morin, 26, who recently moved to Rio from Los Angeles, described B次元官网网址渟auna-likeB次元官网网址� conditions inside the stadium.

B次元官网网址淚t was extremely hot. My hair got so wet from sweat as soon as I came in,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淭here was a point at which I had to check my breathing to make sure I wasnB次元官网网址檛 going to pass out.B次元官网网址�

Morin said she drank plenty of water but saw B次元官网网址渁 good amount of people looking distressedB次元官网网址� and others B次元官网网址測elling for water.B次元官网网址� She said she was able to get water from the sidelines of the area she was standing in, but that water was a lot harder to access from other parts of the stadium, B次元官网网址渆specially if you were concerned about losing your specific position.B次元官网网址�

During the show, Swift paused her performance and asked from the stage for water to be brought to a group of people who had successfully caught the singerB次元官网网址檚 attention, according to Morin.

B次元官网网址淭hey were holding up their phones saying B次元官网网址榃e need water,B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� she recalled.

Two other concertgoers interviewed by The Associated Press said they witnessed people feeling unwell from the heat during the show.

On her way to Rio, Benevides sent a video to family members that was broadcast by TV channel Globo B次元官网网址, telling them: B次元官网网址淢om, look at the plane, itB次元官网网址檚 moving. Mom, IB次元官网网址檓 on the plane. My God in heaven! IB次元官网网址檓 happy!B次元官网网址�

Then before the concert, she posted a video of herself on Instagram wearing a Taylor Swift T-shirt and friendship bracelets, seeking shade under an umbrella while waiting in line to enter the stadium.

Like her, thousands of fans waited hours in the sun before being allowed inside.

She told her followers while fanning her face that sheB次元官网网址檇 arrived at 11 a.m. B次元官网网址� the show began around 7:30 p.m. B次元官网网址� and was B次元官网网址渟till in the mess.B次元官网网址�

BenevidesB次元官网网址� friend, Daniele Menin, who attended the concert with her, told online news site G1 that her friend passed out at the beginning of the concert, as Swift performed her second song, B次元官网网址淐ruel Summer.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淲e always said that when (Taylor Swift) came to Brazil we would find a way to go. The ticket was very expensive, but we still found a way,B次元官网网址� Menin told G1.

Justice Minister Fl谩vio Dino said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that going forward in Brazil, B次元官网网址渨ater bottles for personal use, in suitable material, will be allowedB次元官网网址� at concerts and festivals and that show producers must provide free and easily accessible drinking water.

Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes wrote on X that the B次元官网网址渓oss of a young womanB次元官网网址檚 life B次元官网网址� is unacceptableB次元官网网址� and demanded more brigades and ambulances at future shows.

Still, the concert was postponed.

B次元官网网址淲e are on the train. And everyone is so disappointed,B次元官网网址� said Hely Olivares, a 41 year-old Venezuelan who had traveled from Panama to see the artist.

Before postponing the concert, Swift wrote on Instagram that she would not address the death from stage B次元官网网址渂ecause I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚 want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends,B次元官网网址� she said.
