Taylor Swift's anticipated Thanksgiving plans have been left hanging in uncertainty following a series of unexpected events during her international Eras Tour, including the tragic loss of a fan and chaotic conditions at the Brazil concerts.

**Taylor Swift’s plans to return stateside for Thanksgiving are up in the air.**

A source revealed to Page Six on Monday that Swift is still undecided about her holiday plans. The Brazil leg of her tour has been fraught with challenges, leaving the singer devastated by the unexpected loss of a fan and grappling with extreme weather conditions.

“The Brazil concerts … She is devastated about a fan dying. The weather is extreme. It’s a mess she didn’t expect. It’s been a traumatic experience. It’s been a lot. She is going to decide today,” the source shared.

**Swift’s Eras concert got off to a rocky start in Brazil when a fan died due to the extreme temperatures.**

Initially rumored to return to the United States for Thanksgiving, Swift's plans are now uncertain. While speculation arose about spending the holiday with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, the singer is set to make a decision after Monday night's concert.

The source emphasized that traveling might prove too overwhelming given the recent events or, alternatively, Swift may choose to come home to find solace and support during this challenging time.

The upheaval began on Friday when 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides suffered cardiac arrest and passed away after being exposed to record-breaking temperatures during Swift's show in Rio de Janeiro. The heat index reached an alarming 139 degrees Fahrenheit.

Expressing her devastation on social media, Swift said, “I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this. I’m not going to be able to speak about this from the stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it.”

Known for her close connection with fans, Swift has been deeply affected by the loss, further intensified by an additional incident where another fan was stabbed during an attempted robbery while in town for the show.

In response to the challenges faced during the Brazil concerts, the Brazilian production company, Time For Fun, released a statement on Saturday outlining new safety measures for the remaining shows. The unexpected turn of events has left Taylor Swift and her team grappling with difficult decisions regarding the tour and, now, her holiday plans.
