Taylor Swift fan dies at Brazil concert drawing widespread criticism of the venue
A Taylor Swift fan tragically passed away before the pop star's concert in Brazil last night due to the heat in the venue. 23-year-old Ana Benevides passed away before the concert, believed to be caused by dehydration and heat exhaustion - although this has not been confirmed. Swift put a statement on her Instagram story about the loss. "I can't believe I'm writing these words but it is 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 that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young," Swift wrote. "I'm not going to be able to speak about this from 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 broken 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." Attendees of the concert revealed that they were not allowed to bring water bottles inside and the venue did little to provide water and other safety measures once people had entered the venue. Fan Monica Bertha shared a video she had taken at the concert where Swift is seen checking on fans to make sure they're receiving water. "It's very hot so if somebody says they need water when it's this hot they really need it," Swift can be seen saying to the crowd. @mobertha Queen Tay stopping the concert to make sure fans get water? #taylorswift #erastour #riodejaneiro #rioerastour Another clip has also gone viral showing Swift herself picking up water bottles mid-performance and throwing them into the crowd. The venue - Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos - is facing calls to allow fans to bring in water to stop something like this ever happening again.

Travel agent left stunned by hotel's bizarre ‘fart’ perk
Going on holiday is all about spoiling yourself and enjoying luxuries you’d normally forgo. Whether that’s tucking into a slap-up buffet breakfast, or booking yourself in for a well-earned massage. And yet, one 4-star hotel in France not only offered guests the option to splash out on a spa treatment or bottle of wine for their room, but they also suggested a very unique kind of perk… A fart. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Yes, you read that correctly. A US-based travel agent made the eyebrow-raising discovery when she was booking a room on behalf of a client. Jaclyn D'Esposito was checking out on the hotel’s website when noticed that its add-ons included a rooftop aperitif, a 30-minute back rub, and a special indulgence labelled simply as “fart”. D’Esposito shared her bewilderment on TikTok, telling viewers that she thought she was “seeing things” when she spotted the offer. Addressing the camera, she said: “You know when you go to check out at a hotel and sometimes there's that page that pops up before you put your credit card in and it's like, ‘Enhance your stay with these other things’ – and it's always like, flowers, champagne, car service, massage, whatever… I truly, I truly thought that I was seeing something.” She then focused in on her computer screen and ran through the “totally normal” extras on display – “Bottle of wine, massage…” – before pausing at a picture of a dog accompanied by the title “fart”. “What is fart?” she asked, before noting that it was being offered “for free”. Clicking on the icon to find out more details, she discovered that “the rate is per day”. “What is happening?” she said before asking followers if she should “book [her] client a fart.” @heartfelttravel I couldn’t pull the tigger guys I’m sorry ? #travelisaprivilege #heartfelttravel #wheretostaysputhoffrance #southoffranceitinerary #southoffrancetravelguide D’Esposito’s video racked up more than 1.6 million views in four days, as commentators shared their glee at the mishap. “It’s a vacation, you should splurge,” one joked. “I like how you said “for FREE?!?” as if you were more shocked that the fart was free than that there was a fart in the first place,” remarked another. “Call and inquire about what’s included in the fart package. You will make that front desk person’s week!” said a third. Others attempted to explain the bizarre scenario by pointing out that “pet” is the French word for “fart”– which would explain the dog pic. And a number suggested that “fart” had been written on the webpage by one of its designers as a jokey placeholder for the pet section, but they then forgot to remove it. Oops. @heartfelttravel Reporting live from Fartfelt Travel ??? #heartfelttravel #travelisaprivilege The travel agent confirmed their theories in an update which, beaming, she began: “I cannot stop laughing at these comments, you made my week, and I'm here to answer all your questions.” She then admitted that she had decided not to book the fart for her client but said it was a decision she now regretted. Naming the hotel as Les Bords de Mer in Marseille, she stressed that they had now fixed their website and it “now says pet everywhere”. (A quick check by indy100 shows this is, indeed, the case:) D'Esposito ended her debrief: “For everyone who commented saying that fart is French slang for pet, you were correct. “To me though, it's still hysterical.
