The deaths of two people, muggings and a dangerous heatwave left legions of Taylor Swift’s Brazilian fans angry and disappointed in the three-day Rio de Janeiro leg of the pop superstar’s Eras Tour, which concludes on Monday night.
Gabriel Mongenot Santana Milhomem Santos, 25, a fan who had travelled from the country’s centre-west region to see Swift, was stabbed to death on a Copacabana beach at about 3am on Monday, Rio’s police said in a statement.
