Soon after the news about Benevides' death due to cardiac arrest was made public, the Look What You Made Me Do singer took to social media to mourn the loss of her fan. Benevides' family members are still in mourning. Though smiling, they appeared sombre while posing alongside Swift and wore matching T-shirts that featured her picture.

After the tragic incident, Swift wrote on her Instagram story, “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 incredibly beautiful and far too young.”

She continued, “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,” adding, “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.”

Each note, a testament to the symphony of emotions shared between kindred spirits. Let's celebrate the magic of love.”
