In a tragic incident, a 23-year-old fan of Taylor Swift passed away during the singer's concert in Rio de Janeiro. The cause of her death has not yet been announced, but the public prosecutor's office has opened a criminal investigation and her body is being examined. The young woman, Ana Clara Benevides Machado, had flown to Rio from the country's center-west region to see her favorite musician. She had been sharing her journey with her family through a WhatsApp group, sending them photos and videos along the way.

After Benevides' death, there were complaints from concertgoers that they were not allowed to bring water into the stadium despite the extreme heat. The daytime high in Rio on Friday reached 39.1 degrees Celsius (102.4 degrees Fahrenheit), making it a sweltering environment for attendees. Fans and politicians reacted with outrage, speculating that the extreme temperatures may have contributed to the tragedy.

So they don't know if that actually did it, and I'm assuming water was there to be purchased.

In my opinion at 102F water should not have to be "purchased".

that they were not allowed to bring water into the stadium

This has been the policy at every concert in every city in the history of mankind

If they did allow you to bring in ‘water’, how the frick would they not know that it’s not GHB, liquid meth, vodka, etc. ???

By law you are allowed to bring in water in New York. Not booze. Not coca cola. Water.

Go to Brazil during their "winter" months only. Nobody has AC. Imagine 102F with no AC

Climate change zealots, who were probably behind this, will trumpet this

Who chose to go to that concert? Was anybody pinning her to the ground not allowing her to leave and get water on her own?

But somehow, this will be the artists’ fault. No personal accountability.

Texxas Jam, 1978, it was 104 in Dallas. Legendary time.

The temperature reached 104 degrees that day (over 120 degrees on the field). To protect the Cotton Bowl, they covered the surface with black tarps. Over 100,000 people were in attendance on the hottest day of the decade

Only the OT could somehow twist a woman dying into a conspiracy about climate change.

I dont think so this time. There are videos of Taylor helping. She stopped at one point and pointed to some fans and said they need water. It's really hot if someone says they need water get them water. The crowd was also chanting aqua, aqua.

There's a video where she can hardly breathes and looks like she's about to pass out.

I think they made them put in more water stations for other shows.
