Taylor Swift recently made headlines when she broke one of her expensive Louboutin heels at her concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Instead of throwing it away, she threw it into the crowd, and a lucky fan caught it. Now, that fan, Felipe Conrado, is selling the broken heel to raise funds for his cousin’s cancer treatment. In an Instagram post, Conrado announced that he wants people to help spread the word about the unique item he is selling. He is determined to use all the money earned from the sale to support his cousin Ângela Conrado’s cancer treatment fund.
During Monday’s concert, Taylor Swift was seen stumbling on stage after her shoe broke. The incident was captured on video and went viral on the internet, with many comparing it to Margot Robbie’s flat feet. To make up for the height difference caused by her broken heel, Swift kept her other foot raised. The incident resembled a scene from the Barbie movie where Robbie takes off her high-heeled slippers to reveal her arched feet.
Conrado, one of Swift’s crew members, posted a picture of the broken shoe on his X (formerly Twitter) account after the show, claiming that he caught it. The Louboutin boots were custom-made for Swift’s Eras Tour, which began in March in North America and is soon ending in South America. This weekend, Swift has three shows in São Paulo, Brazil, after cancelling her Saturday show due to the extreme heat in Rio de Janeiro.
During Monday’s concert, Swift also paid tribute to Ana Clara Benevides, a fan who tragically passed away from dehydration-induced cardiac arrest at the Rio de Janeiro leg of the tour on Friday. Swift performed her heart-wrenching ballad “Bigger Than the Whole Sky,” which deals with the pain of grieving a premature loss. She seemed to be honouring her late fan, who was only 23 years old.
The author describes Taylor Swift’s emotional performance in Brazil, where she mourned the recent loss of two fans and acknowledged the extreme heat wave that was affecting the country. The article includes quotes from some of the songs she performed, which were particularly poignant given the circumstances. The author also notes that fans were reportedly not allowed to bring water into the venue, despite the high temperatures. However, Swift herself made a point to throw a water bottle to the crowd during the show. Some fans shared videos on social media that appeared to show Swift having difficulty breathing, but it is unclear if this was related to the heat or some other factor. Overall, the article portrays Swift as a caring and empathetic performer who is deeply connected to her fan base.
