Taylor Swift fan who caught her broken Louboutin heel at Eras Tour concert is selling it to raise money for cousin’s ca.nc.er treatment
Taylor Swift broke one of her glitzy Louboutin heels earlier this week during her final Eras Tour concert in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and tossed it into the crowd.
And now the lucky fan who caught the broken sole is selling it to raise money for his cousin’s cancer treatment.
Felipe Conrado, who had VIP tickets to all three of Swift’s sold-out shows in Rio de Janeiro, is asking people to spread the word in the hopes a collector will snap up the one-of-a-kind item.
‘As many have been following, we are in a large mobilization to help fund my cousin’s cancer treatment,’ began Conrado, whose caption was translated from Portuguese to English by DailyMail.com. ‘If you can share or disclose, the link is in the bio!’
He insists that whatever money is made will go directly to his cousin Ângela Conrado’s cancer treatment fund.

‘I’m a BIG Taylor fan, if any collectors are interested in the jump [sic], 100% of the amount will go to the treatment,’ Conrado wrote.
‘Thank you for helping to spread the word, sharing, helping and spreading the word! We going to win this battle.’
Conrado included a photo of himself smiling and holding up the bedazzled heel with red soles as well as images of Swift that were taken the moment it broke off.
Ângela , 36, was diagnosed with melanoma after doctors removed a mole from her right arm and conducted a biopsy, according to her fundraising page.
In September, she had another surgery to enlarge the margin and remove the sentinel lymph node to determine if the cancer had spread.
To prevent it from metastasizing, Ângela will ‘need 12 sessions of immunotherapy, with the drug Nivolumab.’
Unfortunately, the medication alone costs R$ 9200.00 (nearly $730), per month and it is not covered by the Brazilian health care system.
Ângela is asking for help to cover the cost of three months of treatment as she waits for a response from the Brazilian government over a lawsuit she filed against them.
She said it typically takes three months for the necessary parties to ‘respond’ to a lawsuit.
She provided documentation confirming her condition on her fundraising page.

Conrado had VIP tickets to all three of Swift’s sold-out shows in Rio de Janeiro
Conrado showed off the heel shortly after catching it at Monday’s show by sharing a snap of it in his backpack to X (formerly Twitter)
A clip of Swift teetering around the stage the moment her shoe broke during Monday’s show went viral and drew comparison’s to Margot Robbie’s Barbie feet.
With only one heel still attached, the Anti-Hero singer kept her other foot up to make up for the height difference.
It looked similar to a the scene of Robbie stepping out of her high-heel slippers in the Barbie film to reveal that her feet are still arched, just like the iconic doll’s.
After the show, Conrado first revealed that he was the one who caught the shoe by sharing a photo to his X (formerly Twitter) account.
Swift had the Louboutin boots custom made for her Eras Tour, which kicked off in North American in March, and is soon to wrap the South American leg.
It will end with a bang with three back-to-back shows in São Paulo, Brazil this weekend.
Monday night’s performance was a rescheduled event, after Swift canceled Saturday’s show due to extreme temperatures in Rio De Janeiro.
Swift delivered an emotional tribute to Ana Clara Benevides, who tragically passed away from ‘cardiac arrest due to dehydration’ at the Eras Tour stop in Rio de Janeiro on Friday.
While seemingly paying her respects to her late fan, 23, the chart‑topping global superstar performed her gut-wrenching ballad, Bigger Than the Whole Sky, about grieving a premature loss, as the show’s second surprise song.

As she pushed through an emotional few days, which also included the fatal stabbing of a 25-year-old Swiftie, named Gabriel Milhomem Santos, and death of superfan Ally Anderson, following a five-year battle with cancer, the 12-time Grammy winner got visibly choked up while mourning the recent tragedies in her community.
‘Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye / You were bigger than the whole sky / You were more than just a short time,’ Swift sang, prompting attendees to sob from their seats. ‘I’m never gonna meet / What could’ve been, would’ve been / What should’ve been you / What could’ve been, would’ve been you.’
The Amsterdam actress’ voice quivered as she attempted to get through singing the lyrics: ‘Did some force take you because I didn’t pray?’
Other emotional verses included: ‘No words appear before me in the aftermath/ Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears/ Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness.’
On Friday, Benevides fainted in the front row and was given CPR by doctors at the scene but failed to revive her.
She was transported to a hospital, where she suffered a second cardiac arrest and died.
Earlier during the show, Swift, who had to postpone Saturday’s show due to sweltering temperatures, expressed gratitude to all her attendees for braving the record-breaking heat and rain to support her.
‘How lucky do you have to be to have 65,000 people dance in the pouring rain with you?’ she asked the crowd. ‘I’ve never gotten to bring a tour to Brazil before and you’ve been so supportive to me ever since the beginning of my career.’
Swift continued: ‘I love you so much and I’m so happy to see your faces tonight you have no idea.’
Her second show, which marks her first since Benevides’ death, comes as Brazil is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave and fans were reportedly not allowed to bring water into the highly anticipated concert despite the sweltering temperatures.
After Swift’s performance on Friday, fans claimed that they had been banned from taking water into the venue, but this has not been verified.
Footage from her first concert in Brazil showed Swift pleading with stadium staff to give her fans water. At one point during the show, the singer brought the gig to a halt and threw a water bottle into the crowd.
One terrifying clip, shared on TikTok, appeared to show Swift struggling to breathe as she temperatures in the arena soared to more than 37C. In the 11-second clip, Swift can be seen hurriedly taking seven breaths before starting another of her hit songs.

‘I can’t believe I’m writing these words, but it is with her shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show. I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by by this,’ Swift posted after learning of Benevides’ passing
Swift addressed the tragic passing of her fan later that evening, writing that she was ‘devastated’ by the news.
‘I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil.’
‘I’m not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it.’
The star ultimately decided to postpone the performance due to the ‘extreme temperatures.’
‘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,’ she wrote via Instagram Story.
‘The safety and well-being of my fans, fellow performers and crew always has to come first.’
