At Taylor Swift's "Eras" Tour performance in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Friday night, it was evident that something wasn't quite right with pop star sensation.
After singing "Bejeweled" at the end of her show, which had spanned several hours, a fan video caught the Grammy award-winning singer having difficulty breathing.
A sympathetic fan tweeted about what they had seen, expressing a wave of sadness. "It's incredibly heartbreaking to witness...My thoughts and prayers are with her during this difficult time."
A post expressed concern for the fans battling the scorching temperatures, saying, "Take care, people, and stay healthy!"
Another anxious fan commented, "It's alarming that someone as fit as her at 33 could be affected this badly."
Both comments demonstrate a deep-seated worry that the heat was too much for many to handle.

Tragic Incident At Taylor Swift's 'Eras' Tour Show
Friday night's concert at "Eras" Tour ended in tragedy, as Ana Clara Benevides passed away due to a cardiac arrest event caused by soaring temperatures.
Before that, she had shared her anticipation for this event on social media - displaying her determination to reach an advantageous position at the general admissions area of the stadium despite waiting for hours in line.
The woman had managed to sneak in and take some photographs by the stage until she eventually collapsed.
The Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo reported that medical personnel performed resuscitation efforts for 40 minutes before transferring her via an ambulance. But tragically, her journey was cut short, and she passed away before reaching the hospital.

With deep sadness, the renowned singer and songwriter, 33-year-old Taylor Swift, has regrettably postponed her Saturday concert at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, due to high temperatures.
This comes only a day after a young fan tragically passed away before her Friday show. Above all else, she puts the safety of her fans and crew first.
Taylor said in a statement, "I'm writing this from my dressing room in the stadium. 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 must always come first."
For the second time in two weeks, inclement weather has forced the postponement of a show on Taylor's "Eras" Tour; this time, it was her scheduled performance in Brazil.
Previously, heavy rainfall in Buenos Aires, Argentina, caused an earlier show to be postponed.
