In a display of concern for her fans’ well-being, global pop sensation Taylor Swift took matters into her own hands during her Eras Tour segment at a stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Faced with lack of water facilities for the enthusiastic crowd, Swift initiated a chant for ‘water’, prompting a wave of support from her devoted audience.
It became evident that the stadium had not adequately prepared for the hydration needs of thousands of fans gathered there and on top of that, had banned water bottles inside.
Not one to overlook the safety and comfort of her supporters, the Grammy-winning artist paused the show and engaged the crowd in a collective call for water.

The crowd’s energy, initially fuelled by Swift’s chart-topping hits, took a brief pause as fans were on the verge of fainting. Tragically one of them even succumbed to death.
