Ana (23) died at Taylor Swift's concert:

Now, the father and girlfriend of the dead fan are speaking. 

"She wanted to fulfill a dream and came back dead," says the father of Ana Benevides, who died at Swift's show in Rio de Janeiro on November 17.

Ana Benevides died at Taylor Swift's concert.

On Friday, 60,000 people gathered at the Nilton Santos Stadium to see the American superstar live. The mood was initially good despite the record heat wave in Brazil. Taylor Swift electrified everyone.

But the mood quickly changed. The fans started screaming for water. Eyewitnesses said they were not allowed to take bottles into the stadium.

Ana Benevides fainted while Taylor Swift sang “Cruel Summer.” Her friend Daniele Menin accompanied Ana to the concert and reported this to the Brazilian newspaper “Folha.”

“During the second song, she just broke down. Then we got her out with the help of security and ran to the first aid center at the stadium. They took care of her and took her to the ambulance,” said Menin.

They fought for their lives, but rescuers were unable to revive them. “They tried for about 40 minutes but couldn’t,” the friend said. The doctors took Ana to the hospital, where everything was tried again, but in the end, Ana was declared dead.

“I lost my only daughter, a happy, intelligent girl. She wanted to graduate with a degree in psychology next April and save money. I have no words to express my pain,” Ana’s father, Weiny Machado, told Folha. He now wants to bring his daughter home.

Taylor Swift was deeply affected after her concert, writing: "I can't even say how devastated I am." The US star will play two more shows in the same stadium this weekend.

Meanwhile, Ana's desperate father demands answers. He wants to know whether his daughter was denied water at the concert and whether there was negligence in assisting.

“I want an investigation into whether they forbade her to bring her water (to the stadium, editor's note),” he says. “Nothing will bring my daughter back, but I hope that if the negligence is confirmed, someone will be punished so this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
