Taylor Swift got back to business on Sunday, resuming her Eras Tour in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after a succession of disasters and delays.
On Friday night, a Swift fan passed away at a local hospital after falling ill at Nilton Santos Stadium, where temperatures rose to almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit. On Saturday, hours before Swift was scheduled to take the stage, the concert was postponed until Monday, with Swift writing on her Instagram Story that the decision had been made due to “the extreme temperatures in Rio...the safety and well being of my fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first.”
Throughout her tour, Swift has played two surprise “secret songs” toward the end of every show. On Sunday, one of those two songs was “Bigger Than the Whole Sky,” which she had never played live before, and which seemed to be a clear tribute to Ana Clara Benevides, the 23-year-old who died of cardiac arrest after collapsing at the Eras tour on Friday.
