Taylor Swift left devastated by death of fan ahead of Eras Tour show in Brazil

The performer is on the South American leg of her sold-out tour, after a mammoth run in the US.

“I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this.

“There’s very little information I have, other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.”

She concluded: “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.”

Swift is scheduled to perform in Rio again on Saturday and Sunday evening, before moving to Sao Paolo next weekend.

Earlier this week, the Shake It Off singer added two more dates to her London leg at Wembley next August, which sold out almost immediately.
