"I love a rain show but I’m never going to endanger my fans or my fellow performers and crew," Swift wrote in the tweet. "We’ve rescheduled tonight’s Buenos Aires show for Sunday due to the weather being so truly chaotic it would be unsafe to try and put on this concert. Good news is I get to stay in Argentina longer!!"
According to Argentina’s national weather agency, the Buenos Aires region was at an orange alert level Friday for heavy rain and storms. The storms could produce hail, gusty winds and lightning. Up to 4 inches of rain was possible. Satellite images showed a complex of storms exploding over nearby southwestern Uruguay on Friday afternoon.
