Taylor Swift resumed The Eras Tour Sunday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil after postponing a concert and the death of a fan.
The "Cruel Summer" singer postponed her concert the night before due to "extreme temperatures." On Friday morning, the apparent temperature — a combination of temperature and humidity — was recorded at 138 F, the highest index ever recorded in the area.
"I'm writing this from my dressing room at the stadium. The decision has been made to postpone tonight's show due to extreme temperatures in Rio. The safety and well-being of my fans, fellow performers and crew has to and will always come first," Swift wrote.
TAYLOR SWIFT ‘DEVASTATED' AS FAN DIES BEFORE BRAZIL CONCERT
Swift, 33, is scheduled to perform in São Paulo on Nov. 24-26, and rain is likely in the forecast for the remaining three shows of the year. She'll pick up the tour with dates in Japan in 2024.
Prior to canceling Saturday's concert, Taylor admitted her heart was "shattered" upon hearing about the death of a fan who fainted at the stadium and later died at a local hospital.

"I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show," she wrote on Instagram before opening night. "I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this. There’s very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young."
Ana Clara Benevides Machado was later identified as the fan who died on Swift's opening night of The Eras Tour. The 23-year-old fainted at the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium and later died. Her cause of death is currently unknown.

Swift continued, "I’m not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it. I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil."
