The announcement followed Swift's previous Instagram Story, where she said her heart was "shattered" by the death of a fan on Friday. It's unclear what caused Ana Clara Benevides Machado's death.
"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," Swift wrote. "I can't even tell you how devastated I am by this."
Temperatures in Rio has spiked to 108 degree in the past few days reaching a high of 136 degree with humidity.
