Fans weren’t the only ones feeling the heat at Taylor Swift’s most recent concert in Brazil.
Temperatures reached sweltering highs during the 33-year-old’s Eras Tour performance on Friday night at the Estadio Olímpico Nilton Santos stadium in Rio de Janeiro — and Taylor looked like she was struggling to Shake It Off.

In a fan video circulating around X (Twitter) the popstar can be seen fighting for breaths as she wrapped up a performance… Her back was facing the crowd before she turned around to reveal her face — eyes shut and mouth wide open — as it looked like she was trying her best to focus on the performance while the heat made it difficult to breathe.

Holy s**t!!
Concerned fans quickly began reacting to the scary situation in the replies, writing things like:
“OMG… this breaks my heart [on] so many levels. She’s so professional but watching her like this, my best wishes go to her. I’m also thinking about fans that had to endure those [crazy] temperatures…”
“She is only 33 and in incredible physical shape. That she was struggling that much is really scary”
“I was thinking that it had to be so hot for her as well. The stage lighting and dancing, she was soaked last night. I’m glad she postponed.”
As we reported on Saturday, the Blank Space singer made the decision to postpone her Saturday night show for the “well-being” of her “fans, fellow performers, and crew.” Sadly, on Friday night, 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides Machado tragically passed away just before the concert was set to begin.
Wild circumstances… We’re glad Taylor postponed Saturday’s show. What are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know down in the comments.
