Singer Taylor Swift postpones her Rio de Janeiro concert. It is too hot.
There is a concert on Friday. Ana Clara Benevides is at the concert. She is 23 years old. She starts to feel sick. She must go to hospital. She dies. The reason is the heat. Swift says that fans, crew, and performers must be safe. The temperature in Rio is 59.7 degrees Celsius. Swift’s full concert has 60,000 people. Organizers move the Saturday show to Monday. Fans are waiting in the heat. They are sad when they hear about the change.
Swift stops singing on Friday to help fans who are not feeling well. Authorities say that there must be water for all people at Swift’s concerts.
Difficult words: postpone (to move to a later time or date), crew (a group of people who work together), organizer (a person who arranges an event or activity).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
