Taylor Swift Sings Emotional Song About Loss 2 Days After Mourning Death of Fan in Brazil

Ahead of Swift's Eras Tour show on Friday, 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides Machado died after feeling unwell at the venue amid extreme heat

Taylor Swift performed "Bigger Than the Whole Sky" on Sunday night's Eras Tour stop in Brazil.

The pop superstar, 33, returned to the stage at Estádio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro after postponing Saturday's show amid "extreme heat" following the death of 23-year-old fan Ana Clara Benevides Machado, who left Friday's concert due to feeling unwell.

During Sunday's show, Swift performed the emotional Midnights (3am Edition) track as one of her nightly surprise songs — and fans think she may have chosen the ballad to honor Machado.

The lyrics to the song about loss include: "Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye / You were bigger than the whole sky / You were more than just a short time."

Swift gave the song its live debut with a piano version, and while the Grammy winner didn't mention Machado's name on stage, fans posted to social media afterward and wondered about a connection.

"I know Taylor is a professional but the amount of strength it must’ve taken to sing Bigger Than The Whole Sky without completely breaking down is unfathomable. I think she knew she needed to do it for Ana, the Brazilian Swifties and herself," wrote on fan on X (formerly Twitter).

Another Swiftie also took to the platform and wrote, "Taylor performing Bigger Than the Whole Sky last night was such a touching beautiful tribute to the Swifties we have sadly lost too soon recently. That must’ve been so hard for her to do, I’m so proud of her. Sending everyone so much love right now."

Swift postponed Saturday's show due to unusually “extreme heat” in the city. Friday's temperature topped 102F, with humidity at more than 70%, a combination that made it feel as if it was actually 138F, according to PBS.org. The postponed show is now taking place Monday.

Her decision to reschedule came after confirming Machado died ahead of Friday’s concert. Event organizer Time for Fun sharedin a post on X that the young adult had died after feeling unwell at the venue.

According to the post, which was shared in Portuguese, first responders attended to Benevides Machado, and she died after being transferred to the local Salgado Filho Hospital.

“I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but it’s with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,” Swift wrote on her Instagram Friday.

“I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this," she added. "There’s very little information I have other than the fact she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.”

Swift, who wrote that she felt the loss "deeply," revealed that she was "overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it."

"I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my heart goes out to her family and friends," she wrote. “This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil."

Throughout that night, Swift was caught multiple times on camera asking for stadium staff to provide fans with water. At one point, she stopped in the middle of her song “All Too Well” when she saw people in the audience being affected by the heat, and would toss them bottles of water.

Temperatures finally cooled down on Sunday after days of heat topping 100 degrees paired with dangerously high levels of humidity — a record for mid-November in Rio.
