Taylor Swift appeared to be gasping for air at her Eras Tour show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Friday night.
A fan video from the concert shared online Saturday showed the star seemingly struggling to breathe right after singing “Bejeweled” at the end of her hours-long performance.
“OMG… this breaks my heart in so many levels,” one concerned fan wrote on Twitter in response to the video. “She’s so professional but watching her like this, my best wishes go to her.”
“I’m also thinking about fans that had to endure those crazies [si] temperatures… take care people and stay healthy!” the post continued.
A second worried fan wrote, “She is only 33 and in incredible physical shape. That she was struggling that much is really scary.”
Several others commended her for postponing Saturday night’s show after fans attended the previous night’s concert in nearly 100° F temperatures.
Swift, 33, announced Saturday afternoon she would postpone her concert out of consideration for the “safety and well-being of [her] fans, fellow performers and crew.”
The decision came after Ana Clara Benevides, who attended Friday night’s concert, died following a cardiac arrest event due to the extreme temperatures.
Benevides documented her journey to the Eras Tour on social media Friday, showing herself waiting in line for hours to score a good spot in the general admissions area of the stadium.
once she was in, she managed to snap some pictures by the stage before collapsing.
She was “resuscitated at the stadium for about 40 minutes,” according to the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, before being taken away by an ambulance.
Unfortunately, she passed before making it to the hospital.
Swift later took to social media to mourn the tragic loss of Benevides, writing, “I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show.
“I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this. I’m not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it.”
She continued, “I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends.”
No further information has been revealed about her concert on Sunday.
