Taylor Swift was “devastated” after learning that a fan had died before her opening night concert in Brazil on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show. I can\u2019t even tell you how devastated I am by this. There\u2019s very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young,” she wrote on Instagram following her Eras Tour concert in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m 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. I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil,” she continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“There’s people that need water right here, maybe 30, 35, 40 feet back,” she said as she pointed to a floor section of the crowd. “So whoever is in charge of giving them that, just make sure that happens. Can I get a signal that you know where they are?”<\/p>\n

The tragic events unfolded amid a dangerous heat wave that swept across Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

Most Brazilian states face “great danger” from the heat, according to the National Institute of Meteorology. The institution issued a red alert for the center-west, southeast and parts of the north warning of “a high probability of major damage and accidents, with risks to physical integrity or even human life.”<\/p>\n
