The Family Of Taylor’s 23-Year-Old Fan, Who Died At The Pop Superstar’s Gig In Rio De Janeiro, Receives A VIP Treatment At The Singer’s Final Show In Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Ana Clara Benevides’ family got to relive her last experience before she sadly passed away at 23 years old. The family of Taylor Swift‘s fallen fan was seen attending the singer’s third “Eras Tour” show in Sao Paulo, Brazil, more than one week after the tragedy.
During their attendance at the pop superstar’s final gig in Sao Paulo on Sunday, November 26, they received a VIP treatment. In a video posted on social media, the family gathered in a tented VIP area at Allianz Parque stadium.
They paid tribute to Ana by wearing white T-shirts with the 23-year-old’s face printed on the front. Some of the family members looked somber, with one woman being seen resting her head on a man’s chest, seemingly seeking comfort amid the family’s grief.
It appeared that the Benevides family was personally invited to the concert by Taylor’s team. Following the concert, the family members were seen posing backstage with the “Lavender Haze” songstress. Still wearing the same T-shirts, they were all smiles in the picture with Ana’s favorite star.

It was previously reported that the Grammy winner has reached out to Ana’s family. She was said to be secretly in contact with them following Ana’s death at Taylor’s concert at Estadio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro during Brazil’s heatwave on November 17.
“The truth is Taylor is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. If she makes her actions public, she’s seen as using the situation for her own gain, but if she keeps quiet, people start accusing her of being cold,” a source told The Sun newspaper.
Right now Twitter is awash with claims she and her team have turned a blind eye to the tragedy but the reality couldn’t be further from the truth,” the source continued. “Taylor’s inner circle have privately reached out to offer their support in any way that they can. Everyone from the top down are shaken by the tragedy.”
Ana suffered cardiac arrest at Taylor’s Rio de Janeiro show prior to the start of the concert. She was resuscitated at the stadium for about 40 minutes before being transported to the hospital, but she suffered cardiac arrest a second time en route to the hospital and was declared dead shortly after.
After Ana died, Taylor penned a heartfelt message on Instagram. “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,” she wrote of the psychology major.
