Who was Ana Clara Benevides: A terrible thing happened at the Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro on Friday night: a 23-year-old Taylor Swift fan died. Ana Clara Benevides has been named as the woman.
According to her cousin Estela Benevides and the Brazilian newspaper Folha De Sao Paolo, she may have had a heart attack when she passed out during the event.
Local doctors tried to save the young fan’s life, but unfortunately they were unable to do so. Swift was seen on social media asking stadium workers to give water to concertgoers, which clearly showed that she cared.
In a later statement, the pop star said that Benevides had died before the show. It’s still not clear if the woman who died was part of the group Swift was talking about. At the time of the event, Rio de Janeiro was under a heat advisory.

Who was Ana Clara Benevides?
She had been alive for 23 years. Even though she was taken to Salgado Filho Municipal Hospital, she died soon after.
United States Today reports that Rio de Janeiro issued a local heat warning on Friday because it was so hot there—100°F temperatures and 109°F temperatures felt much hotter. The uncomfortable weather that concertgoers had to deal with during the show probably played a role.
During Taylor Swift’s concert, the stadium got as hot as almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Because of this, the 33-year-old pop star had to briefly stop performing to make sure that some of the incredibly excited fans could get water.
