Taylor Swift fans suffer second degree burns after attending concert
After Taylor Swift finished her third and final concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, fans are reportedly suffering from second-degree burns due to the insane temperatures on the metal floors in the arena.
Taylor Swift is currently in the middle of the South American leg of her ERAS tour and recently played three shows in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in the middle of an extreme heat wave.
The first didn’t go as planned, as Taylor Swift fan Ana Clara Benevides Machado, 23, died on November 17 from what many believe to be heat exhaustion. She was taken from the Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro to a first aid center and then to the hospital. Unfortunately, Ana died an hour after arriving at the hospital.

Since the situation is such that it is not going well and is not attracting attention @T4F. I don’t have much time and no pronunciation from the beginning of the shows. pic.twitter.com/YBgqLTi0cv
