A fan attending the same concert died due to extreme heat, following which Taylor said she was “devastated.”

“I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,” Taylor wrote on social media. “I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this.”

Taylor added that she would not be able to address the incident from the stage because she felt “overwhelmed by grief” while trying 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,” she said. A video even showed Taylor distributing bottles of water.

The fan fainted at the stadium and died later. The cause of death has been listed as cardiorespiratory arrest, according to Brazilian newspaper Fohla De Sao Paolo.
