00:00 Taylor Swift has postponed her concert in Rio de Janeiro after a fan died at her Eras
00:05 tour
00:06 These are some of Taylor Swift's saddest moments of her life.
00:10 There was a fan that passed away at her Eras tour.
00:15 Taylor Swift is mourning the loss of a fan who died before her show in Rio de Janeiro,
00:20 Brazil.
00:21 During Taylor Swift's Eras tour show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in November 2023, a fan
00:27 video surfaced online revealing Taylor Swift appearing to struggle for breath after performing
00:32 "Bejeweled".
00:39 Following this, Taylor Swift announced the next day that she would be postponing her
00:43 concert and this was to prioritize the safety of her fans as well as her fellow performers
00:49 and the crew.
00:51 This decision was influenced by the unfortunate incident involving Ana Clara Benavidez.
00:59 She was a woman who attended Taylor Swift's concert and later experienced cardiac arrest
01:05 due to extreme temperatures leading to her passing.
01:15 Ana had documented her excitement for the Eras tour on social media, showcasing the
01:21 hours that she spent waiting in line for a good spot in the stadium.
01:29 There was also the incident involving Kanye West back in 2009.
01:34 While Taylor Swift bore no wrongdoing, this moment triggered a chain of unfortunate events
01:40 for her.
01:41 What marked the beginning of a major feud between Taylor and Kanye and other celebrities
01:46 saw it as an opportunity to engage in some drama with Taylor Swift as well.
01:52 During the VMA Awards back in 2009, Kanye West stormed the stage while Taylor Swift
01:58 was delivering her acceptance speech for Best Female Video.
02:02 And he grabbed the microphone from her and pretty much said that Beyonce deserved to
02:06 win the award instead of her.
02:09 Ouch.
02:10 Taylor was understandably left speechless and
02:20 shocked as Kanye West interrupted her glory moment, robbing her of the joy of winning
02:26 the award.
02:27 While Kanye West did later admit in an interview that his actions were wrong, the damage was
02:32 already done.
02:33 Taylor Swift had a documentary also and it was called Miss Americana.
02:38 In it, Taylor Swift opens up about her struggles with body image.
02:42 She candidly expresses her seeing pictures of herself daily actually affects her negatively.
02:49 Taylor in her own words admits, and I quote, "It's not good for me to see pictures
02:53 of myself every day."
02:55 And this revealed that she often gets triggered by comments or images where she feels criticized
03:00 for her appearance, leading her to adopt unhealthy habits like restricting her food intake.
03:08 She reflects on the pressures of achieving the ideal body of a woman and calling it effing
03:14 impossible.
03:16 Over time, Taylor Swift has gained a healthier perspective on things and is now content with
03:21 being a size 6 instead of aiming to be a size 0.
03:24 Something else that Taylor Swift experienced was her mother's cancer diagnosis.
03:28 And she actually sang about it through her song Soon You'll Get Better on her album
03:33 Lover.
03:39 And in the track, she shares that her mother's illness served as a big wake up call and it
03:45 shifted her perspective away from trivial concerns that she had.
03:49 Taylor Swift reflects on the profound impact of her mom undergoing chemotherapy and she
03:56 started to question the significance of online opinions that people had of her and maybe
04:01 online opinions that she had of some people.
04:06 When you compare it to a loved one's health crisis, it's nothing in comparison to that.
04:11 The lyrics convey the deep emotional journey spawned by the challenges of dealing with
04:16 her mom's sickness.
04:17 So yeah, major turning point for Taylor Swift.
04:20 Also in another sad moment during a rainy concert in Tampa, Taylor Swift performed the
04:25 song Clean from her 1989 album.
04:28 And this performance marked the one year anniversary of her SA court case.
04:34 Taylor Swift reflected on the huge impact of the trial where she accused DJ David Mueller
04:40 of touching her in a very dehumanizing way during a meet and greet.
04:46 Despite facing a lawsuit from DJ David Mueller, well Taylor Swift, she countersued for $1.
04:54 This was just a symbolic action though.
04:56 And she actually won.
04:58 She wasn't trying to get money, she was just trying to make a point here to say that this
05:01 was not okay.
05:02 Because this experience left a lasting imprint on Taylor Swift, leading her to acknowledge
05:07 that certain things become unchangeably different after going through something like this.
05:15 This was a brief look at some of the saddest moments of Taylor Swift's life.
