Taylor Swift is postponing her second show in Brazil this weekend after a fan died the day prior and amid scorching temperatures there in the city that she deems too dangerous.
The pop star announced the decision Saturday, not long before she was scheduled to take the stage there at Rio de Janeiro's Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos -- where she had just performed Friday ... and where a young fan lost her life ahead of curtain call.
Taylor says she's hitting pause for her performance tonight -- which would've marked night #2 of a 3-show stop there in Brazil -- and says her fans' safety comes first before anything.
She says, "I'm writing this from my dressing room in the stadium. The decision has been made to postpone tonight's show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio. The safety and well-being of my fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first."
No word on whether she's going to proceed with Sunday's show -- for now, it looks like Rio's expecting a high of 84 degrees ... whereas it's in the 90s today, and hit 88 with high humidity yesterday.
Of course, she's being praised for this move ... as many were wondering how she could possibly go forward after the tragedy from Friday night, which Taylor obviously addressed as well. She said she was heartbroken over it, but also said she wouldn't talk about it onstage.
The fact that she was apparently just going to proceed with her regular show and not address the fan's death in person -- despite already having done so online -- didn't sit well with some -- and it seems Taylor/her team realized that ... wisely opting to stop down.
It appears that even before Taylor became aware of the fan's death -- which has been speculated to be over a heatstroke of some sort -- she already suspected something was wrong. There's footage of her at Friday's show demanding that the fans be handed water.
Time will tell if Sunday's concert is a go or not -- we imagine those talks are happening right now.

Taylor Swift Pospone su segundo concierto en Brasil...

Taylor Swift pospuso su segundo show en Brasil este fin de semana después de que un fan muriera el día anterior. Todo ello, en medio de temperaturas demasiado abrasadoras, que ella considera son muy peligrosas.
La estrella del pop anunció la decisión el sábado, no mucho de que se subiera al escenario del Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos de Río de Janeiro, donde actuó el viernes y una admiradora perdió la vida antes de la apertura del telón.
Taylor dice que está haciendo una pausa para su actuación de esta noche, la segunda de las tres paradas que tiene programadas en Brasil, y dice que la seguridad de sus fans es lo primero.
Ella dice: "Estoy escribiendo esto desde mi camerino en el estadio. Se ha tomado la decisión de posponer el espectáculo de esta noche debido a las temperaturas extremas de Río. La seguridad y el bienestar de mis fans, mis compañeros de actuación y equipo tiene que ser y siempre será lo primero".
No se sabe si la estrella del pop seguirá adelante con el show del domingo. Se espera que Río alcance una temperatura máxima de 84 grados (F), comparados con los 90 (F) de hoy. Ayer llegó a 88 con alta humedad.
Por supuesto, Taylor está siendo elogiada por esta decisión, ya que muchos se preguntaban cómo podría seguir adelante después de la tragedia de ayer viernes que también abordó con una sentida carta. Dijo que tenía el corazón roto, pero también que no hablaría de ello sobre el escenario.
El hecho de que procediera con su show y no abordara la muerte de su fan, a pesar de que ya lo había hecho en línea, no le sentó bien a algunos y parece Taylor y su equipo se dieron cuenta, optando sabiamente por posponer.
Parece que incluso antes de que Taylor se enterara de la muerte del fan -que se ha especulado que fue por un golpe de calor de algún tipo- ya se sospechaba que algo andaba mal. Hay imágenes de ella en el show del viernes exigiendo que les dieran agua a los fans.
El tiempo dirá si el concierto del domingo se realizará o no. Nos imaginamos que las conversaciones están sucediendo en este momento.
'Extreme Weight Loss' Star's Death Brandi Mallory 911 Caller ... 'I Don't Do Dead People'
The guy who called 911 to report finding "Extreme Weight Loss" star Brandi Mallory in her car, told dispatchers he was keeping his distance ... 'cause he doesn't mess with dead folks.
TMZ obtained audio of the 911 call and you hear the dispatcher ask the caller if he's with Brandi ... prompting him to quickly reply, "Nooo, she's in her car. I don't do dead people."
The audio also includes the caller, who owns a nearby deli, describing Brandi as being motionless and unresponsive in her car, which was in the parking lot of a strip mall where he runs his biz.
TMZ broke the story ... cops say Brandi was last seen alive Nov. 8 when she parked her car, went into a Chipotle to grab food, and then returned to her car and never drove off or exited the vehicle.
The deli owner told cops he realized something was off after noticing Brandi's car sitting in the parking lot for hours on end ... and that's when he checked on her and decided to dial 911.
Authorities have not determined Brandi's cause of death yet. However, we should note there's no evidence her Chipotle meal had anything to do with it, and cops have said there's no sign of foul play.

El tipo que llamó al 911 para informar de la muerte de la estrella de "Extreme Weight Loss" Brandi Mallory le dijo a los asistentes que estaba manteniendo la distancia con el cuerpo porque él no se mete con gente muerta.
TMZ obtuvo el audio de la llamada al 911, en él se escucha al telefonista preguntarle al hombre si se encuentra con Brandi, lo que provocó esta respuesta, "Nooo, ella está en su carro. No me gusta la gente muerta".
En el audio, la persona que llama, que es un propietario de una tienda de delicatessen cercana, describe que Brandi está inmóvil y sin respuesta en su carro, que estaba estacionado en un centro comercial donde dirige su negocio.
TMZ publicó la historia, los policías dicen que Brandi fue vista por última vez con vida el 8 de noviembre cuando aparcó su carro, entró a un Chipotle para comprar comida y luego regresó al vehículo y nunca más salió.
El dueño de la tienda de delicatessen le dijo a la policía que se dio cuenta de que algo andaba mal cuando notó que el carro de Brandi estuvo aparcado por horas y horas en el estacionamiento. Fue entonces cuando decidió ir a verla y marcó 911.
La causa de muerte de Brandi sigue siendo poco clara. También debemos señalar que no hay pruebas de que la comida de Chipotle tenga algo que ver con ella y la policía ha dicho que no hay indicios de crimen violento.

Taylor también señaló que no hablaría de su muerte cuando se suba al escenario el sábado por la noche porque está "abrumada por el dolor cuando incluso trata de hablar de ello".

Mientras tanto, durante la actuación de tres horas del viernes, Taylor se aseguró de que todos sus llamados "Swifties" en la multitud tuvieran un montón de agua a la mano para mantenerse hidratados bajo el calor.

She then said there was little information about what happened, except that her admirer was female and "so incredibly beautiful and far too young.”
Taylor also pointed out that she would not speak about the death when she hits the stage Saturday night because she is “overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it.”
Taylor wrapped it up by saying her heart breaks for the fan's family and friends, noting this tragic event was the last thing she wanted to bring to Brazil.
Meanwhile, during Friday's 3-hour performance, Taylor made sure all of her so-called "Swifties" in the crowd were given plenty of water to keep them hydrated in the 100-degree heat.
In a video posted to X, Taylor is seen onstage telling someone to bring water to overheated fans.

Jerome Ford says Kareem Hunt deserves big-time props for helping the Browns keep things together following Nick Chubb's devastating injury ... telling TMZ Sports the guy "brought the juice back" after Cleveland's star RB went down.
Ford went in-depth with us on the state of the Browns earlier this week following the team's big win over the Ravens ... and he made it clear to us that Hunt has played a huge role in Cleveland keeping the wheels on despite the loss of Chubb -- both on and off the field.
"When Nick left," Ford said, "it left a gap in the running back room. And Kareem came in and -- I really don't know how to explain it other than to say that he brought the juice back."
You'll recall, after Chubb tore up his knee against the Steelers on Sept. 18 ... Cleveland turned to Hunt on Sept. 20 to bolster its RB corps.
And, according to Ford, the roster move changed everything.

"He came in, joking and playing," Ford said. "And he gave us the juice that we needed to kind of, like, 'Yeah, Nick's down, but we gotta keep pushing.'"
The Browns are 5-2 since Hunt joined the squad ... and in those seven contests, he's scored six total touchdowns.
Ford says Chubb, meanwhile, is doing well in his recovery ... and helping out whenever he can.
The Cleveland tailback -- who spoke with us just before news of Deshaun Watson's season-ending injury -- also insisted the Browns have a serious drive to be great this season ... saying, "People don't realize how much we want it."

Olympics Star Suni Lee I Gained 45 Pounds ... Due To Kidney Illness
Suni Lee -- the Olympics star who won gold in Tokyo in 2020 -- just revealed her kidney issues this year caused her to gain 45 pounds.
The 5-foot gymnast made the revelation in an interview with USA Today this week ... just a few months after she left Auburn to get a handle on the ailment.
"I couldn't fit into any of my clothes," Lee told the outlet. "My eyes were swollen shut. It was just so scary."
Thankfully, Lee says she's doing better now ... and, according to USA Today, she looks "very much like the gymnast" who competed in the Games nearly three years ago.
"I haven't had a really bad day in a while," Lee said. "But in the beginning it was like I was waking up swollen. My fingers were so swollen they wouldn’t fit into my grips and I couldn't hold on to the bar."
She added, "My whole body was swollen because I was retaining water, so I couldn’t do a flip. … So it was really different and I had to learn how to work through it."

Lee said she's made some changes to her diet -- eliminating a lot of her sodium intake -- which has allowed her to reignite her pursuit of more medals at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
"We're still working on trying to figure out how to balance all of it because I do have good days and bad days," Lee said. "But with the good days I just take advantage of what I'm able to do, and on the bad days I just do basics and try and stay as safe as possible."
The Olympic trials begin in June in Minneapolis.

Suni Lee, la estrella olímpica que ganó el oro en Tokio 2020, acaba de revelar que los problemas renales que ha sufrido este año la hicieron engordar 20 kilos (45 libras).
La gimnasta de 1,70 metros hizo la revelación en una entrevista con USA Today esta semana, apenas unos meses después de que dejara Auburn para controlar la dolencia.
"No me cabía la ropa", le dijo Lee al medio. "Tenía los ojos hinchados. Estaba muy asustada".
Afortunadamente, Lee dijo que está mejor ahora y, según USA Today, se parece "mucho a la gimnasta" que compitió en los Juegos Olímpicos hace casi tres años.
"Hacía tiempo que no tenía un día realmente malo", dijo Lee. "Pero al principio era como si me despertara hinchada. Tenía los dedos tan hinchados que no me cabían en las empuñaduras y no podía agarrarme a la barra".
Añadió: "Todo mi cuerpo estaba hinchado porque estaba reteniendo agua, así que no podía hacer una voltereta. ... Fue realmente diferente y tuve que aprender a trabajar con ello".

Lee dijo que ha hecho algunos cambios en su dieta, eliminando gran parte de su ingesta de sodio, lo que le ha permitido reavivar su búsqueda de más medallas en los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024.
"Todavía estamos trabajando para averiguar cómo equilibrar todo porque tengo días buenos y días malos", dijo Lee. "Pero con los días buenos solo aprovecho lo que soy capaz de hacer, y en los días malos solo hago lo básico y trato de mantenerme lo más segura posible".
Las pruebas olímpicas comienzan en junio en Minneapolis.

Joe Burrow Out For Season ... After Suffering Wrist Injury

UPDATE
12:22 PM -- Joe Burrow just met with media members to discuss the injury ... and he said he felt "a pop" while he was throwing the touchdown pass to Joe Mixon.
As for the brace he had on his hand when he landed in Baltimore earlier this week, he told reporters it was simply a compression sleeve to keep some of his other "bumps and bruises" in check.
"This is a completely different thing," he said.
Burrow added that he's planning to still be around the team the rest of the year despite being out for the remainder of the season.
The Cincinnati Bengals will have to try to win a Super Bowl this season without Joe Burrow.
The team just announced its star quarterback suffered a significant wrist injury that will keep him from playing the rest of this year.
According to Cincy head coach Zac Taylor, Burrow appeared to sustain the ailment just before throwing a touchdown pass to Joe Mixon in the second quarter of the team's Thursday Night Football game against the Ravens.
Burrow tried to play through the pain ... but cameras inside of M&T Bank Stadium showed he just simply couldn't grip a football -- and sat out the rest of the contest, which the Bengals lost, 34-20.

Taylor said his 26-year-old star will "likely" need surgery to fix the issue.
The team, meanwhile, could find itself in hot water over it all ... as the NFL is reportedly investigating whether or not the Bengals knew about a potential problem with Burrow's wrist leading up to the big "TNF" matchup.
Burrow was seen getting off the team plane in Baltimore wearing some kind of brace on his hand -- yet he was not listed on the team's injury report heading into the game.
Regardless, losing Burrow is obviously a huge blow for Cincinnati ... as the signal-caller is widely considered one of the five best quarterbacks in the game right now.
The Bengals -- now 5-5 -- will turn to Burrow's backup, Jake Browning, to try to save their season.

David Corenswet Poniéndose en forma para "Superman: Legacy"
El chico que ha sido elegido para interpretar a Superman en una nueva entrega ha parecido un poco desgarbado y torpe para algunos desde que se anunció su casting ... Pero ya no.
David Corenswet, quien va a interpretar al Hombre de Acero en la próxima película de James Gunn "Superman: Legacy" fue fotografiado en un gimnasio por el entrenador Paolo Mascitti, quien ha estado trabajando con David para que se vea más guapo y más guapo en el papel.
Si nos basamos en lo que vemos aquí, su régimen parece estar funcionando porque Dave se ve espectacular.
En estas fotos no se ve su cara, pero definitivamente nos podemos hacer una idea de cómo se está formando su cuerpo, y ciertamente se ve un poco más como Superman que antes.
Por cierto, no había nada malo con cómo estaba antes, especialmente debajo del ombligo, pero digamos que no estaba ni de lejos lo musculoso que está ahora.
Ahora que Dave parece tener el físico de Clark Kent... parece que está marcando todas las casillas que los fans de la franquicia quieren ver en su Superman. Definitivamente tiene la cara y el pelo en su sitio, por no hablar de la altura, y ahora también está musculoso.
El tiempo dirá qué aspecto tendrá finalmente con el traje azul y rojo, pero esta es una señal de que las cosas van por buen camino. Está previsto que el rodaje de "Superman: Legacy" comience en la primavera de 2024 y la película se estrenará en el verano de 2025.
Henry Cavill, ¡come tu corazón!
David Corenswet Getting Jacked for 'Superman: Legacy' Gym'n It Up for the Tights!!!
The guy who's been tapped to play Superman in the new installment has looked a bit gangly and awkward to some since his casting was announced ... but not anymore.
David Corenswet -- who's playing the Man of Steel in James Gunn's forthcoming 'Superman: Legacy' -- got snapped in a gym pic by fitness trainer Paolo Mascitti ... who's apparently working with DC to get him nice and hunky for the titular role.
Based on what we can see here ... their regimen is working, 'cause Dave's looking swoll!
You don't see the guy's face here -- but you can definitely get a sense of how his body's shaping up ... and he certainly looks a bit more Superman-ly now. It's a bit of a 180 from what we saw earlier this summer, when Dave hit the beach and bared his hot dad bod.
There was certainly nothing wrong with what he was working with then -- especially below the equator -- but let's just say ... he wasn't nearly as muscled out as he is right now.
Now that Dave seems to have the Clark Kent physique down ... it would appear he's checking all the boxes fans of the franchise want to see in their Superman. He definitely has the face and hair department on lock -- not to mention height -- and now ... he's ripped too.
Time will tell what he ultimately looks like in the blue and red suit ... but this is a sign things are headed in the right direction. Filming for 'Superman: Legacy' is set to get underway in Spring 2024 ... and the flick's being released in Summer 2025.
Henry Cavill ... eat your heart out!

Drake Wassup Now, Pusha T??? Calls Him 'Broke Ass' on New EP!!!

Drake has a few jabs left to throw Pusha T's way, and didn't hesitate to unleash 'em on his new "Scary Hours" drop ... the deluxe edition of "For All The Dogs."
On "Wick Man," produced by The Alchemist, Drake avenges his longtime friend/producer Noah "OVO 40" Shebib. Remember, back in 2018, Pusha released "The Story of Adidon" on which he dissed 40's multiple sclerosis disorder with no remorse.
Drake ripped into Pusha using the same cadence the Clipse rapper once used to diss him, and added some slander of his bank account -- “Man, I remember n****s was joking ’bout some tick, tick/ And now that rapper broke as f***, that boy a statistic ... empty clips.”
Pusha rapped "tick, tick" to describe the clock that was supposed to spell out 40's demise on 'Adidon' ... his venomous diss that also spilled the beans on Drake having a son.
"Wick Man" marks Drake's 2nd Pusha snipe this year -- he also called him out on Travis Scott's hit "Utopia" album, and invited him to pull up on his 'Blur' Tour ... but Pusha's been noticeably quiet, even when Jim Jones got at him.
Pusha's quietness probably won't last for long though ... that's a lot of sticks and stones in his direction.

'Big Brother' Winner Jun Song Son Was Ill w/ Meningitis ... Starts GoFundMe Over Sky-High Bill
Jun Song, the winner of 'Big Brother' Season 4, has been facing every mother's worst nightmare after her son fell seriously ill ... and she's asking the public for help.
The former reality TV star recently revealed that her little boy, Noah, has had a lengthy stay at a hospital lately ... all over a meningitis diagnosis that took its toll and left him in a medical bed for nearly two weeks.
After sharing an image of her 11-year-old hooked up to a hospital ventilator, Song has now sought out financial assistance on GoFundMe ... emotionally reflecting on Noah falling ill with what she thought was the flu -- but which turned out to be mycoplasma pneumoniae that spiraled into the deadly viral infection.
She says the slowest hours of her life were watching him lose consciousness and lay in the children's ICU, where she had no idea if he'd be left with permanent brain damage or whether he'd even wake up.
Song says it took 11 days for Noah to return to everyday tasks, such as going to the bathroom and eating solid food ... and while it sounds like he's been released, their family isn't out of the woods just yet.
As a result of all the work that was done on Noah ... his mom says there's a massive bill she has to deal with -- and her insurance doesn't cover a majority of it. As a single mom, she's now trying to raise money to help with her tab.
Jun explains she always knew life would be hard but didn't expect the avalanches of hardships tossed her way ... and after years of helping others, hopes to be on the receiving end of assistance during this challenging time.

The Ravens fans weren't content with the win ... after the game, they made it clear they're no fan of JB.
"F*** Joe Burrow! F*** Joe Burrow!" fans yelled during Prime's post-game broadcast.
— ML VIDEOS (@MlVideos12199) November 17, 2023 @MlVideos12199
The chants were captured loud and clear on the stream ... and many football fans weren't happy with their actions.
"This is actually embarrassing," a fellow B-more fan said on X. "As a Baltimore Ravens fan since '96, I am ashamed of my fellow fans. Wishing Joe Burrow a speedy recovery."
But, the Bengals may have other issues besides Ravens fans ... the NFL has launched an investigation into the team after they posted a video on social media ahead of the game that appeared to show JB wearing a brace on his hand prior to the game. The Bengals eventually removed the post.
Burrow was not listed on the injury report this week ... and if he was hurt, it's against NFL rules to keep him off the report.
