Taylor’s new boyfriend Travis Kelce has been a pillar of strength for her throughout the ordeal

TAYLOR Swift‘s team has reached out to support the heartbroken family of her fan Ana Benevides who died at her concert in Brazil last week amid a freak heatwave.

The superstar has been slammed online for her apparent lack of empathy for the situation, despite releasing a statement telling of her devastation at the news.

But I can reveal the mud-slinging is misguided as behind the scenes Taylor’s infamously small inner circle have quietly been in contact with her family.

A source said: “The truth is Taylor is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t.

“If she makes her actions public, she’s seen as using the situation for her own gain, but if she keeps quiet, people start accusing her of being cold.

“Right now Twitter is awash with claims she and her team have turned a blind eye to the tragedy but the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.

“Taylor’s inner circle have privately reached out to offer their support in any way that they can. Everyone from the top down are shaken by the tragedy.”

I understand that despite them being forced to spend Thanksgiving apart due to work commitments, Taylor’s new boyfriend Travis Kelce has been a pillar of strength for her throughout the ordeal.

The insider added: “Of course, her team are like her family and have been there for her but Travis really has been her rock.”

In a statement last weekend, Taylor said: “I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with a 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 this.

“There’s very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.”
