Taylor Swift met with the family of Ana Clara Benevides, the 23-year-old fan who suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest at the Eras tour concert in Rio de Janeiro on November 17th and died shortly after. Photos on social media showed Swift shared a private moment with the family — who wore t-shirts with Ana’s face on them — before one of her shows in São Paulo over the weekend. Family members were also seen standing in the VIP section during the concert. The meeting just over a week after Swift wrote on social media that the death left her with a “shattered heart.” The concert took place in the middle of a sweltering heatwave, and authorities in Rio have since launched an official investigation into the concert’s local organizer for “the crime of endangering the life and health” of the concertgoers.
