what happened with taylor swift? i heard about the fan dying but not much else

Ana Benevides, a 23-year-old black woman died during Taylor Swift's concert in Rio, and her family doesn't even have the money to transport her body back to their city. Apparently, Taylor spoke superficially about this, not even mentioning the victim's name. Furthermore, a thousand more people became ill during the show because of the heat. It was around 60°C (140° F) there. The show's production team even placed metal sheets on the floor that made it even hotter, blocked the air vents so that no one could see the show from outside, and didn't let people come in with bottles of water, you had to buy it inside, but was being sold at an exorbitant price.

The problem is that Taylor is a billionaire, she could very well have avoided all of this. And now that it's happened, she's doing absolutely nothing to help. Brazilian fans who had to raise money on their own to help Ana's family.

Obviously, the climate issue is not her fault, but the entire country has been on alert for weeks because of the heat. Crowding people together in these conditions is completely wrong. Both her team and the company they hired should have taken more responsibility.

They even canceled the second show, but it was at the last minute after fans spent hours queuing under the hot sun. And in the last show she did here yesterday, she didn't comment on the girl who died, nor did she mention anything.

Ana Benevides' mother, Adriana, shares that Taylor Swift contacted the family last week.

''There was an invitation to watch Sunday's show in São Paulo and Taylor's team signaled the singer's intention to help her family. For all the attention, thank you for the respect, affection and solidarity expressed."

THANK YOU! And honestly fuck every single american swiftie that thinks they have any right to have an opinion on this.

Again: thanks!! Some of you (most of you, for what i can see) are just terribly xenophobic and racist.

[bettyshoweduptotheparty]

The more I see from yesterday’s show, the more it really shows how concerned Taylor was the whole time, directing her team to give out water and at times throwing bottles out herself. All the while someone had already fallen victim to the dangerous conditions, and seeing the footage, it’s honestly a miracle only one person died.

I hope health and safety are being taken seriously and conditions are improved for future shows so everyone can have a safe and special experience.

Stay safe, Brazilian fans, and rest easy sweet Ana 🕊️

Taylor Swift fans had to pitch in to help pay Ana Benevides' family back for the loan they had to take out to transport her body back home to be buried. The fans did it. Not T4F (certainly the ones with a moral obligation to do it) and not the billionaire popstar herself, who, while not obligated, could have shown a little kindness.

Dear @taylorswift,

I just want to tell you how much you are loved and how thankful we are for everything you do above and beyond for your fans. I know how heartbroken you are feeling right now and we are standing with you and grieving with you. I wish I could hug you and tell you it’s all going to be okay.

Our love and support goes out to the fans in Rio, we see you and we feel your pain. This was not Taylor’s fault. Please know she will do everything in her power to make you happy and put on the best show for you when it’s possible. What happened is a tragedy and we are crying with all of you.

Please sho your support to Taylor, she is feeling all of your emotions at once and it must be the most overwhelming pain imaginable.

We love you Taylor and we are here.

❤️🫶🏻❤️

This is the point where I'm actually truly disappointed at Taylor.

Posting a small note on her stories without even mentioning Ana Clara's name is a choice, quite possibly one made not only by her. It hurts to see the distance that is being put between Taylor and Ana, but I can understand that this is a PR decision that goes beyond just her (even if, being honest, I think it's very wrong and cold and, at this point in Taylor's career, unnecessary).

Like everyone, I got emotional watching her singing Bigger Than The Whole Sky, seeing how emotional she was herself, seeing that the whole crowd was meaning every word while singing it with her.

But at the same time, we were first hearing the news that Ana's family isn't getting any support, not from the venue, not from the company and not from Taylor's team and this made the entire thing hollow. Because how can you spend you whole career preaching about the collaboration between your fans and still turn the blind eye when something like this happens?

Even if she still wanted to keep distance from that tragedy, something that I'd never think she should do, but that I could try to understand and see the reasons, she has all the means in the world to help. At this point, her word is worth a lot, even more when it comes to a fan in her concert. If she didn't want her name being associated further with this, an anonymous donation would be more than enough. Actually, it was the bare minimum we all not only hoped, but thought was already happening.

Distancing herself from this goes directly against everything Taylor went for her whole career and it's really really painful to see that the care she has for us has limits she could surpass with very little effort.

We are joining to help Ana's family, organizing a fundraiser to pay for everything they need, because once more, the fans have to do what people that SHOULD be doing things aren't moving. And we are still trying to get Taylor's team attention because if they can listen to the fans asking to turn off the pyrotechnics for Bad Blood, they can listen when we ask help to allow a family to have at least a bit of dignity when grieving a tragedy like this.

I hope Taylor can change my mind and we have some help from her team, better late than never, but until then,

Help Ana's family donating to this PayPal:

adrianabenevides28@hotmail.com

(this is the only official mean to donate, beware scammers)

And by the way, in no way I mean this as a way to blame Taylor Swift or her team when the true people to blame is T4F. I want this company to rot and declare bankruptcy before the year ends for all they are making us go though from beginning to end of this experience. I just feel like seeing their inaction, Taylor should be doing something.

RIP THE ONE NOTE CHANGE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS

It's really sad that Brazilians Swifties are the only ones who are still talking about Ana's tragedy and being, rightfully, angry and disappointed about the way Taylor is handling this whole situation.

"How can an artist who built a 15-year career based on empathy and connection with her fans ignore something like this"

The fact that she did that at yesterday's concert after people were planning to do something ⬇️

I mean...

This post really got me 🥺

[sectumsempraxz]

Her silence is not for legal advice and that she can’t do something financially to help, and you know how I know that? Because other artists have helped their brazilian fans with no problem. Rihanna paid for the funeral expenses of a brazillian fan of hers and their family before. Michael Jackson too when he came to record stuff in brazil and ended up running over a fan. There's absolutely no law forbidding her to help the fan's family.

Yes, exactly!! I remembered Michael Jackson's case too, he even went to visit the boy in the hospital, paid for everything and talked to the boy's family

But Taylor doesn't want to take responsibility, maybe she is afraid of ruin her image, idk, she's being extremely selfish
