Taylor Swift starts first show at SP after confusion with water bottles and disorganized line

‘Estadão’ accompanied the entrance to Allianz Parque and spoke to the fans queuing

Taylor Swift The first show of the tour has already started The Ages to the Allianz Parkin the west area of ​​Sao Paulo, after confusion in the queue and problems getting bottled water into the stadium.

Since Friday morning, fans have formed a huge queue in front of the Allianz, where they remained in the rain, cold and wind. Traffic has become complicated and the region’s residents’ association has complained that entrances to homes, businesses and even a health unit have been blocked.

The American singer went on stage promptly at 7.30pm on Friday the 24th, under a drizzle that began during the opening show held by the singer Sabrina Carpentiereand it faded throughout the night.

He will perform again on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th in the capital of São Paulo, after the three performances he held in Engenhão, Rio de Janeiro, were marked by tragedy.

The young Ana Clara Benevides, 23 years old, died after falling ill during the show on Friday the 17th. She suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest and, according to the preliminary report, had a pulmonary hemorrhage.

Rio police have opened an investigation to investigate T4F, the producer of the singer’s concerts in Brazil. The company did not respond to the request Estadao about the investigation, but made a video apologizing for the events.

After problems at the first show of the tour, the government ordered that water be allowed at shows, but fans in Sao Paulo still encountered difficulties trying to enter the venue with sealed bottles. The SP military police riot squad asked people to remove bottle caps before entering the stadium, which led to confusion when the first fans entered the Allianz.

At around 4.20pm, 20 minutes after what should have been the opening of the gates to the public, T4F admitted the mistake and posted on social media that they had instructed the PM’s command to enforce entry with sealed bottles.

Flexible plastic water bottles, sealed with a lid, are still allowed at Allianz Parque for the Taylor Swift concert.

All this delayed the entry of VIP package holders and delayed entry at the normal gates. Fans reported Estadao lack of organization in the distribution of queues in the different sectors and gates. “I was in the VIP queue and it was very chaotic. There was no one from the organization in most of the queue and the only reason it worked was because the fans respected each other a lot,” said Giulia Magno, 20 . She came from São Carlos, within SP, for the show.

Rafael Talasesco, 18, came to the show with his mother Simone, 49. The two came from Curitiba and also had problems queuing. “We got here at 3:30 pm and walked more than ten blocks. It was a 15 minute walk, I’d never seen so many people,” he said.

Fans also told the report that the search for entry into the stadium was very superficial. Estadão also carried out the inspection and noticed that employees were not opening bags or backpacks for inspection.
