Apparently Taylor Swift’s holiday plans are in limbo at the moment after the traumatic loss of a fan at her Brazil show on the international leg of the Eras Tour.
“She doesn’t know her holiday plans yet,” a source told Page Six on Monday.
“The Brazil concerts … She is devastated about a fan dying. The weather is extreme. It’s a mess she didn’t expect. It’s been a traumatic experience. It’s been a lot. She is going to decide today.”
A source had previously told Page Six that Swift planned to come back stateside for Thanksgiving.
There were rumors going around that the singer would see her boyfriend Travis Kelce for Thanksgiving, but now she may apparently decide after Monday night’s concert.
Traveling “could end up being too much” or she “could want to come home” to be around people during this difficult time, says our source.
On Friday, 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides lost consciousness after being exposed to the high temperatures during Swift’s show in Rio de Janeiro and passed away from cardiac arrest at the hospital.

The heat index mapped that it had reached a record-breaking 139 degrees Fahrenheit.
“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,” Swift shared via social media late Friday.
“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,” she said. “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.”
Swift has been shaken up from the incident as she is known to deeply care for her fans.
Local outlets reported that fans allegedly were not given water while they waited in line.
In videos online, Swift could be seen pausing her set to urge staff members to hand out water bottles.

“It’s very hot, so if somebody says they need water when it’s this hot, they really need it,” Swift said as fans could be heard yelling, “We need water.”
The show is being investigated, according to the New York Times.
Time For Fun, the Brazilian production company, released a statement on Saturday outlining new safety measures for the remaining shows.
Shortly after releasing her statement on the late fan, Swift made the decision to cancel Saturday night’s concert due to extreme heat.
Swift’s following show is on November 24th in Sao Paulo, meaning she would have three days at home.
