Local media reported temperatures in the Brazilian stadium reached up to 60C at one point, adding Swift paused her show and asked for water to be distributed among concertgoers during the set.

In one video, she is seen saying: “There’s people that need water right here, maybe 30, 35, 40 feet back.

“So whoever is in charge of giving them that, just make sure that happens. Can I get a signal that you know where they are?”
