Olivia Rodrigo stumbled during concert
Videos captured by fans and widely shared online show the 21-year-old star accidentally stepping into a hole on the stage, disappearing from view for several moments. Fans were heard gasping in the footage, while Rodrigo’s hands could be seen gripping the edge of the stage before she reemerged, laughing off the mishap.
Despite the scare, Rodrigo quickly recovered and resumed her performance. “Oh my God, that was fun. I’m OK,” she told the cheering crowd. “Sometimes there’s just a hole in the stage — that’s alright. OK, where was I?” she joked before continuing with her setlist, which includes hits from her latest album Guts as well as her debut record Sour.
The singer later took to social media to address the incident herself, posting a light-hearted TikTok video of the moment with the caption: “I am ok hahaha.” She also humorously tagged the clip with #subtleforeshadowing, a nod to the editing method where moments of a “fail” are subtly repeated throughout a video.
Rodrigo’s ability to laugh off the incident endeared her even more to her devoted fanbase, who quickly flooded social media with supportive messages. Many praised her professionalism and light-hearted response, highlighting the singer’s down-to-earth attitude during her rise to pop stardom.
The fall occurred during the fourth and final show in Melbourne, marking the end of the Australian leg of Rodrigo’s “Guts” world tour. The tour, which kicked off in the U.S. earlier this year, has been a massive success, featuring sold-out performances across major cities. Rodrigo has garnered widespread acclaim for her raw, emotional lyrics and energetic performances.
Rodrigo’s Guts album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with hits like “Vampire” and “Bad Idea Right?” resonating with fans around the globe. Despite the on-stage mishap, her Melbourne concert will likely be remembered as another example of the star’s resilience and charm.
