Olivia Rodrigo has assured her fans that she is “OK” after experiencing a fall on stage during a concert in Melbourne, Australia, on Monday. Videos surfaced online showing the “Vampire” singer falling through a trap door at the Rod Laver Arena during her fourth and final show in the city. In the footage, she was seen on stage, momentarily disappearing from view as she sidestepped, and the audience gasped at the unexpected incident. Shortly after, Olivia shared a clip of the moment on TikTok, humorously stating, “I am ok hahaha.”
Fans could be heard gasping as she lost her footing, but she quickly surfaced, laughing and exclaiming, “Oh my God, that was fun. I’m OK. Sometimes there’s just a hole in the stage – that’s alright. OK, where was I?” She then continued with her performance, tagging her video with #subtleforeshadowing, alluding to the trend of repeating moments of mishaps in videos.
Currently on her Guts world tour, which began in the US in February, Olivia has four more shows in Australia before taking a brief break. Her sophomore album, titled “Guts,” has garnered critical acclaim this year, featuring hits like “Vampire,” “Get Him Back,” and “Bad Idea Right?”. During her time in Australia, she also met Pesto, a viral penguin hatchling from Melbourne’s Sea Life Aquarium, who has gained popularity for being the biggest newborn at the attraction.
Earlier in her tour, Olivia performed in Manila, where she welcomed an audience of over 50,000 fans, the largest of her career. This marked her first performance in the Philippines, where she donated all the earnings from the concert to a charity focused on healthcare for women and girls. Olivia expressed that the show was a long-held dream and described it as “the most special show and the most meaningful trip.” After her final Australian shows in Sydney later this week, she will take a break before continuing the tour in South America in March 2024. Additionally, she is set to return to Manchester in June 2025 for a performance at the Co-op Live Arena after earlier dates were postponed due to venue issues.
