Taylor Swift postpones Brazil show due to heat, day after fan dies during concert

Pop star Taylor Swift has postponed her upcoming concert in São Paulo, Brazil, due to "extreme weather conditions." The show was originally scheduled for November 18, but has been moved to December 14.


In a statement posted to her social media accounts, Swift said that she was "absolutely heartbroken" to have to postpone the show, but that the safety of her fans and crew was her top priority.

"The weather conditions in São Paulo have been absolutely devastating," she wrote. "The city has been experiencing record-breaking rains and flooding, and there have been reports of power outages and road closures. I was so excited to bring the show to Brazil, but I simply cannot put my fans or crew at risk."


Swift's decision to postpone the show comes after the death of a fan at her concert in Uberlândia, Brazil, on November 15. The fan, a 27-year-old woman, died after being crushed in the crowd.

In a statement to the press, Swift expressed her condolences to the fan's family and friends. "I am devastated to hear about the tragic death of a fan at my concert in Uberlândia," she wrote. "My prayers are with the victim's family and friends during this difficult time. My team and I are working with local authorities to investigate the incident."

Swift's concert postponement is the latest in a series of disruptions caused by the severe weather in Brazil. Earlier this month, the country's largest airport was forced to close due to flooding.

The extreme weather conditions have also caused widespread damage to infrastructure and agriculture. The Brazilian government has estimated that the cost of the damage could reach billions of dollars.

The weather in Brazil is expected to continue to be unstable in the coming days. Residents have been warned to be aware of the risks of flooding and landslides.
