Family of fan who died before Rio Concert attends final Brazil show of Taylor Swift

The family of Ana Clara Benevides Machado — the fan of Taylor Swift, who died before an Eras Tour show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil earlier this month — attended the final Sunday show.

The popstar invited Benevides Machado’s loved ones, including her father, Weiny Machado, to her final Brazil tour stop in São Paulo, a source close to Taylor Swift confirms to PEOPLE.

The 23-year-old fan passed away on November 17 ahead of Swift’s concert at Estadio Nilton Santos. She felt unwell at the Rio venue and was attended to by first responders before being moved to a nearby hospital, where she died, event organizer Time for Fun announced on X, formerly known as Twitter.

At Swift’s Sunday show, just nine days after the death of Benevides Machado, the late fan’s family watched the performer from what seemed to be a VIP tent, a fan shared a clip on X.

After learning of Benevides Machado’s death on November 17, Swift shared a message about the late fan on her Instagram Story.

Taylor Swift shared, “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. 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.” 

Swift went on to say that she would not be able to speak about Benevides Machado during her concerts.

Midnight’s songstress wrote, “I’m not going to be able to speak about this from the 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 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 added.

After his daughter’s death, Weiny told the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, “I lost my only daughter, a happy and intelligent girl.”

In the same interview, Weiny said he wants clarification on whether fans were banned from bringing water into Estadio Nilton Santos on the day Benevides Machado died. 

Time for Fun, the company that organized Swift’s Brazil shows — and announced Benevides Machado’s death — is now under investigation.

The Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro’s consumer delegations department is investigating the alleged “crime of danger to life or health” by the company, NBC News reported.

Event organizers are expected to be called to testify and authorities have begun taking additional steps “to investigate the facts,” per the outlet. Time for Fun, the company that organized Swift’s Brazil shows — and announced Benevides Machado’s death — is now under investigation.
