Taylor Swift fan who caught her broken Louboutin heel at Eras Tour concert is selling it to raise money for cousin’s ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ treatment
During her final Eras Tour performance in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, earlier this week, Taylor Swift threw one of her glittering Louboutin heels into the audience and destroyed it.
Now that he’s caught the shattered sole, the fortunate fan is selling it to pay for his cousin’s ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ treatment.
Felipe Conrado, who saw all three of Swift’s sold-out gigs in Rio de Janeiro with VIP passes, is urging people to let others know about the unique item in the hopes that a collector will buy it.
“We are in a large mobilization to help fund my cousin’s ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ treatment, as many have been following,” Conrado said in his caption, which DailyMail.com translated from Portuguese to English. “The link is in the bio; please share or disclose!”
He is adamant that all proceeds would go entirely toward the ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ treatment fund of his cousin Angela Conrado.

Felipe Conrado, the fortunate fan who discovered the shattered sole, is now selling it to generate money for his cousin’s ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ treatment.
At her Brazilian concert, Taylor Swift makes sure her fans have access to water.
“As a huge fan of Taylor, I would like to let collectors know that 100% of the proceeds from the sale will go towards the treatment,” Conrado stated.
“Thank you for sharing, lending a hand, and helping to spread the word!” We will prevail in this conflict.
Conrado shared pictures of Swift taken at the exact moment it broke off, along with a picture of himself grinning and holding up the bejeweled heel with red soles.
According to Ângela’s fundraising website, a biopsy and the removal of a mole on her right arm led to the 36-year-old’s melanoma diagnosis.
To find out if the ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ had spread, she underwent further surgery in September to remove the sentinel lymph node and widen the margin.
Angela will “need 12 sessions of immunotherapy, with the drug Nivolumab,” in order to stop it from spreading.
Regretfully, the drug alone is not covered by the Brazilian health care system and costs R$ 9200.00 (about $730) every month.
As she awaits a response from the Brazilian government over a case she filed against them, Angela is requesting assistance to cover the expense of three months of treatment.
According to her, the required parties usually take three months to’respond’ to a case.
Documentation supporting her illness was posted on her fundraising website.
While she waits for a response from the Brazilian government on a complaint she filed against them, Ângela is requesting assistance to cover the expense of three months of treatment.
Conrado had VIP tickets to all three of Swift’s sold-out shows in Rio de Janeiro
Shortly after receiving the heel at Monday’s performance, Conrado flaunted it by sending a picture of it in his backpack to X (previously Twitter).
Swift’s viral video of herself wobbling on the stage after her shoe snapped during Monday’s performance was compared to Margot Robbie’s Barbie feet.
The Anti-Hero singer kept her other foot elevated to compensate for the difference in height, with only one heel remaining attached.
It reminded me of the scene in the Barbie movie where Robbie takes off her high-heeled slippers to show that her feet are still arched like the famous doll’s.
Conrado initially disclosed that he was the one who caught the sneaker by uploading a picture to his X (formerly Twitter) account following the performance.
For her Eras Tour, which began in North America in March and will soon wrap the South American leg, Swift had the Louboutin footwear custom crafted.
This weekend, they have three consecutive gigs in São Paulo, Brazil, to cap it off with a bang.
Swift canceled her concert on Saturday owing to the high heat in Rio de Janeiro, therefore Monday night’s show was rescheduled.
At the Eras Tour stop in Rio de Janeiro on Friday, Swift paid a moving homage to Ana Clara Benevides, who tragically died from “cardiac arrest due to dehydration.”
As the second surprise song of the evening, the chart-topping global singer gave a heartbreaking performance of her ballad, Bigger Than the Whole Sky, about suffering a premature loss, while seemingly paying her respects to her late admirer, 23.

It resembled the scene in the Barbie movie where Robbie takes off her high-heeled slippers to show that her feet are still arched, much like the famous doll’s.
The 12-time Grammy winner became obviously emotional as she grieved the recent tragedies in her community, which included the fatal stabbing of a 25-year-old Swiftie named Gabriel Milhomem Santos and the passing of superfan Ally Anderson after a five-year fight with ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ.
Attendees began to cry from their seats as Swift sang, “Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye / You were bigger than the whole sky / You were more than just a short time.” “What could’ve been, would’ve been / What should’ve been you / What could’ve been, would’ve been you” is a song that I will never get to hear.
The actress from Amsterdam struggled to finish the line, “Did some force take you because I didn’t pray?” Her voice wavered.
‘No words arise before me in the aftermath/ Salt rushes out my eyes and into my ears/ Every single item I touch turns ill with anguish’ was one of the other poignant verses.
Benevides passed out in the front row on Friday; paramedics responded and attempted CPR, but it was unsuccessful in reviving her.
After being taken to a hospital, she passed away after a second heart arrest.
Swift thanked everyone for coming out to support her despite the record-breaking heat and rain earlier in the performance. Swift was forced to postpone Saturday’s gig due to extreme heat.
She questioned the audience, “How lucky do you have to be to have 65,000 people dance with you in the pouring rain?” “You’ve been so supportive of me since the beginning of my career, and I’ve never had the opportunity to bring a tour to Brazil before.”
Swift went on, “You have no idea how much I love you and how happy it makes me to see your faces tonight.”
She is doing her first gig since Benevides passed away, and this one is being held in Brazil during an extreme heatwave. According to reports, fans were not permitted to carry water into the much-anticipated concert because of the intense heat.
Fans stated after Swift’s Friday performance that they were not allowed to bring water inside the arena, however this has not been confirmed.
Video from Swift’s debut performance in Brazil showed her pleading with stadium workers to provide water to her fans. The vocalist stopped the performance midway through and flung a water bottle into the audience.
In one horrifying video posted to TikTok, Swift could be seen gasping for air as the arena’s temperature rose above 37C. Swift is seen quickly taking seven breaths in the 11-second footage before launching into another one of her great songs.

We lost a fan earlier tonight before my event, and I say this with a broken heart—I can’t believe I’m writing this. Swift wrote, “I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by by this,” as soon as she found out about Benevides’ passing.

Later that evening, Swift wrote about her fan’s untimely passing and expressed her “devastation” at hearing the news.
I would want to express how deeply I am affected by her loss and how my heart is shattered for her family and friends. When we chose to do this journey to Brazil, I never imagined anything like this would occur.
“When I even try to talk about this, I get so overwhelmed with grief that I won’t be able to do it from here,”
In the end, the celebrity chose to cancel the show because of the “high temperatures.”
“I’m writing this from the stadium’s dressing room.” The severe temperatures in Rio have led to the decision to postpone tonight’s event,’ she posted on Instagram Story.
“My fans, fellow performers, and crew members’ safety and well-being always have to come first.”
