Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour turns into drama. Sunday November 19, 2023, Gabriel Milhomem Santos, a 25-year-old aeronautical engineering student, was found dead on Copacabana beach, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he had dozed off with his cousins after the concert of his idol, reports The Parisian
. According to information from our colleagues, three men stabbed the Swiftie with a kitchen knife in order to steal his personal belongings. Two of the thieves were then arrested by the police for stealing 80 chocolate bars. However, they were released shortly after their arrest.
In shock, the victim’s family reportedly told G1, a news portal, that Gabriel was one of the singer’s biggest fans. Attending his concert was a dream for this young man “joyful, affectionate and extremely studious”.

A second victim
Two days earlier, Ana Clara Benevides, 23, suffered a heart attack in the queue for the concert taking place at the Nilton Santos stadium. A drama for Taylor Swift who reacted on social networks. “I can’t even tell you how devastated I am.”, she confided on her Instagram account. And to continue: “She was unbelievably too young. I won’t be able to talk about it on stage because I feel overwhelmed with grief at the mere thought of talking about it.”
The American singer then announced the postponement of her concert scheduled for Saturday evening. “The safety and well-being of my fans, other artists and technicians must always come first.” Let’s hope that the rest of his tour, which must also pass through France, takes place in peace.
