The family of the Taylor Swift fan who died before a show on the singer’s Eras tour earlier this month was spotted at a concert during Swift’s last stop in São Paulo on Sunday.
The family of Ana Clara Benevides Machado were personally invited by Swift, a source told People, and watched the show from a VIP tent, according to footage posted on social media.
The 23-year-old died Nov. 17 after feeling unwell and fainting at the venue. She was transferred to a local hospital, where she passed away.
“I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but it’s with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,” Swift said at the time.

“I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this. There’s very little information I have other than the fact she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.”
