RIVER – Taylor Swift performs his second show Tour of the Ages in Brazil this Saturday the 18th, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, which is experiencing a heat wave. Ana Clara Benevides, 23, died during the show on Friday evening, the 17th.
Estadão was queuing in Engenhão this Saturday afternoon and spoke to fans about their concerns and the conditions of the event. Many brought several glasses of water, and also numerous “umbrellas” to protect themselves from the sun.
Previously, organizer T4F, had released a statement saying it would provide “free supply of water in queues and at all accesses and entrances to the stadium and inside” and would allow “entry to the stadium with glasses of water sealed”.
A fan identified as Isabella, from Belo Horizonte-MG, commented: “Very scared. Today I woke up with my phone full of messages, people telling me to be very careful.”
“It’s a hard blow for all the fans. We feel a lot of solidarity and we’re scared. It was only the first day and today it’s hotter than yesterday. If the organization no longer takes care of the fans, this will happen” I repeat, it can’t happen “, has continued.
Anika, who came from Pelotas-RS, stressed that she was “very sad”, but initially she had not thought about not going to Taylor Swift’s concert: “We prepared ourselves, we came with 3, 4 liters of water each. We woke up early to get a seat up ahead.”
He also reported that, depending on the situation encountered, he could have surrendered, which he did not. “If we saw that there was really some risk, we would even think about not going in.”
Another fan spoke about the water provided by the production in the queue: “A little water came through a little while ago, but very little.”
