'She always listens to her fans': Swifties hail Taylor Swift for not using fire effects while singing 'Bad Blood' at Rio Eras Tour show

Earlier, Taylor Swift called off Saturday's show due to what she described as 'extreme heat' in the city

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL: In a heartwarming display of consideration for her fans, Taylor Swift made a notable adjustment to her recent performance at the Estadio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the ongoing The Eras Tour.

The pop sensation decided to forgo the usual fire effects during her performance of 'Bad Blood', much to the delight of her Brazilian Swifties.

Why did Taylor Swift postpone her Eras Tour?

The 33-year-old singer resumed her South American tour on Sunday night, November 19, after an unexpected cancellation the day before. Taylor called off Saturday's show due to what she described as "extreme heat" in the city.

In an Instagram post, she shared a handwritten note expressing her regret for postponing the event and emphasizing her commitment to the safety and well-being of her "fans, fellow performers, and crew." "The decision has been made to postpone tonight's show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio. The safety and well being of my fans, fellow performers and crew has to and will always come first," she said. 

Additionally, the decision to reschedule the show came on the heels of a tragic incident that deeply affected Taylor and her fan community. The Grammy winner revealed that a fan, 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides Machado, died after feeling unwell at the venue ahead of Friday's concert.

“I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but it’s with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,” Taylor wrote. “I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this. There’s very little information I have other than the fact she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.”

In a touching response to the cancellation, Swifties hailed Taylor for the consideration. A user tweeted, "What a wild crowd, and swift in charge of them all. Craaazzyyy." Another added, "Omg she’s constantly proving why she is the worlds biggest star."
