Recently, Taylor Swift created a buzz when she accidentally broke one of her expensive Louboutin heels during her Eras Tour in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, she didn’t get upset and tossed it into the crowd. A fortunate fan, Felipe Conrado, caught it and is now selling it to raise funds for his cousin Ângela Conrado’s cancer treatment. Mr. Conrado attended all three of Taylor’s sold-out concerts in Rio de Janeiro. In his Instagram post, he urges his followers to help him by sharing the link in his bio with anyone who might be interested in buying this exclusive item. He assured everyone that the proceeds would go directly to funding his cousin’s cancer treatment.
During Taylor Swift’s concert on Monday, her shoe broke while she was teetering around on stage. A video of the incident quickly went viral and was compared to Margot Robbie’s flat feet. To make up for the difference in height caused by the broken shoe, Swift kept her other foot up. This situation resembled a scene from the Barbie movie where Robbie takes off her high-heeled slippers to show her arched feet, just like the famous doll’s. After the show, Conrado posted a picture on his X account claiming he had caught the shoe. The Louboutin boots were custom-made for Swift’s Eras Tour, which started in March in North America and will soon end in South America. Despite having to cancel her show on Saturday due to the heat, Swift paid tribute to Ana Clara Benevides, who sadly passed away from dehydration-related cardiac arrest at the Rio de Janeiro stop of her tour. During the concert, Swift performed her heartbreaking ballad “Bigger Than the Whole Sky,” a tribute to her late fan. This weekend, Swift has three shows back-to-back in São Paulo, Brazil.
The sight was reminiscent of a scene from the Barbie movie where Robbie removes her high heels to reveal her arched feet, just like the popular doll. After experiencing a series of emotional events including the death of a fan named Gabriel Milhomem Santos, who was stabbed to death, and Ally Anderson, a fan who battled cancer for five years, the 12-time Grammy winner broke down in tears while discussing the recent tragedies in her community. Her heart-wrenching song “Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye / You were bigger than the whole sky / You were more than just a short time” moved the audience to tears. The Amsterdam actress’s voice trembled as she sang, “Did some force take you because I didn’t pray?” Another poignant line from her song was “No words appear before me in the aftermath/Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears/Everything I touch becomes sick with sadness.” On Friday, Benevides collapsed in the front row, and despite CPR attempts at the venue, she did not survive. She was transported to a hospital, where she had another heart attack and died. Swift expressed gratitude to her fans for their support in record-breaking heat and rain, and Saturday’s show was canceled due to the extreme heat. During the concert, she asked the audience, “How lucky must you be to have 65,000 people dance with you in the pouring rain? I’ve never been able to bring a tour to Brazil before, and you’ve been so helpful to me since the start of my career.” Swift expressed her love for her fans and appreciation for their support. The highly anticipated concert took place during an unprecedented heatwave in Brazil, and reports suggest that fans were not permitted to bring water into the venue. However, this has not been confirmed. During her first concert in Brazil, Swift pleaded with stadium staff to provide water to her fans and even threw a water bottle into the crowd. One TikTok video showed Swift struggling to breathe as the temperature in the arena exceeded 37C, with the singer taking seven quick breaths before beginning another of her popular songs in the 11-second clip.
