Taylor Swift incredibly kept performing her Eras Tour Brazil stop after breaking a heel on stage
Taylor Swift was originally expected to make the trip to Kansas City on Monday night for the matchup between the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. Dubbed the Kelce Bowl, it’s a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl and pits Travis Kelce — the new boyfriend of Swift — against his big brother Jason.
Saturday night’s show was moved to Monday after extreme high temperatures and lack of access to water on Friday night led to a dangerous situation for fans inside Nilton Santos stadium and the tragic death of 23-year-old fan Ana Clara Benevides.
Sunday’s show — which included changes that allowed fans to bring in their own water to combat high temperatures — went smoothly, but Swift’s final evening in Rio de Janeiro got off to an eventful start as the singer lost the heel of one of her boots early in the set.
Unfazed, she tossed the Christian Louboutin boot heel into the cheering crowd and continued with the show.

Swift will have three more shows in Brazil — next in São Paolo — before wrapping up the tour for the year. But for one fan, they have the commemorative item of a lifetime.
