Swifties dub Taylor Swift 'hero' for helping fans as stadium faces criticism for banning audience from carrying water

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA: Following Taylor Swift's heartfelt condolences for a fan's passing before her Brazil Eras Tour show on November 17, Swifties have showered the singer-songwriter with praise, commending her for handing out water bottles, especially in a situation where the stadium had prohibited concert-goers from bringing their own.

While the circumstances of the fan's passing remain undisclosed, praise for Swift comes in the wake of videos circulating on social media depicting the singer throwing water bottles in the audience during the Brazil concert.

Where was the last stop of the international leg of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour?

The international phase of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour commenced last week in Latin America, initiating with performances in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Subsequently, she proceeded to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, for the first night of a three-night run on Friday.

Some social media users assert that the stadium hosting the show prohibited fans from bringing in water bottles, despite temperatures soaring to nearly 100 degrees on November 17.

In a video, Swift can be observed interrupting the show to ensure fans have access to water.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, she specifically addressed the need for water for individuals located around 30 to 40 feet back in the crowd.

Swift requested confirmation from the responsible party to ensure that those fans received the necessary hydration.
