Taylor Swift Experiences Difficulties in Brazil Following Eras Tour Victories
Taylor Swift's Eras Tour set records in North America, but it was marred by tragedy and mishaps during a three-day run in Rio de Janeiro.
Taylor Swift was greeted in Brazil on Thursday by a projection that transformed the world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro into a T-shirt similar to the one she wore in her
"You Belong to Me" music video, complete with the names of Brazilian states and symbols from her songs.
However, tragedy and trouble have followed that warm reception.
