In recent days the ‘swifities’, as the artist’s fans are called, have been noticed on social media for their dedication in organising, taking care of, guiding and even donating drinking water to the public attending the shows. Janeiro.

This latest initiative, however, was not welcomed favorably by some fans and admirers of the American singer. According to publications on X, formerly Twitter, some followers say they are disappointed by the lack of support from the artist’s team, Time For Fun and Taylor Swift herself. “How can an artist who has built a 15-year career on empathy and connection with her fans ignore something like this, you know?”, reads one of the posts.

Another problem is the fact that Taylor did not mention Ana Clara’s name and did not pay tribute directly during the show on Sunday 19th in Engenhão.

the truth is that Taylor will have to eat a lot of beans and rice to redeem herself with the Brazilian fandom after all this because everyone swore that at least unofficially she had already contacted her family to offer condolences and nothing and now we have to make a crowd …

Sorry, I didn’t want to say this now, please don’t insult me, but the least I expected was for Taylor or the team to offer some kind of support to Ana’s family regarding this, you know… https://t.co/g5R4gwIk7i

Taylor deserved to be defended yesterday for not having been directly involved in what happened, but today there is no argument to defend her and this does not mean being any less of a fan. someone has died, there are family members who cry without comfort at home and without any support.

JUSTICE FOR ANA BENEVIDES

In a report broadcast on Fantástico, Sunday 19th, José Weiny Machado and Adriana Benevides, parents of Ana Clara, explained the situation they are facing after their daughter’s death. “The people at the show, who put it together, don’t support us bringing her home,” Adriana says.
