Fans outside the Nilton Santos stadium were apprehensive after the previous night’s postponement but expected the show to go ahead.
Saturday’s postponement, which Swift announced just two hours before she was on stage, angered many fans who had already made the journey, some from different states and countries, to the stadium.
