Taylor took to her Instagram Stories and shared a long note. She said, “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. 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. 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 saw now that 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.”
It is not known which fan Taylor was talking about. A report in People magazine mentions that a 16-year-old fan Ally Garner Anderson, who received a gift from the pop star during Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Cincinnati this summer, has died after five years of battling cancer.
