After a 23-year-old Taylor Swift fan tragically died before her opening night concert in Brazil, other fans are speaking out about their traumatic experiences that unfolded at the show.
A Swift fan detailed the horrific events that occurred Friday night, as she described “sauna-like” conditions inside the scorching Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium.
Concert-goers said they were not allowed to bring water bottles into the stadium even though Rio and most of Brazil have had record-breaking temperatures this week amid a dangerous and lasting heat wave. The daytime high in Rio on Friday was 39.1 degrees Celsius (102.4 degrees Fahrenheit), but it felt much hotter.
