Fox News
A Taylor Swift fan died before her opening night concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Friday. Swift shared a statement on her social media mourning the loss of the fan.
"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 say now 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," she continued. Stephanie Giang-Paunon is an Entertainment Writer for Fox News Digital.
