American singer Olivia Rodrigo, 21 years old, fell into a hole in the stage while interacting with the audience at the concert “Guts World Tour” on October 14.
According to a video of the incident on X, fans said they were terrified when Olivia Rodrigo suddenly had an accident during a performance at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne. Because she was focused on stirring up the atmosphere, she did not notice a large gap in the middle of the stage and slipped into it. The singer quickly stood up and reassured everyone: “I’m fine. Sometimes there are holes like that on stage. It’s normal.”

In the comments section, many accounts praised the Drivers License singer for handling the situation well, but some people were worried that she might have been injured because of the hard fall. Some fans said that the performance area was too dark, hoping that the organizers would provide more protection if the singer needed to use the stage pit to perform. One fan wrote to Rodrigo: “I hope she stays healthy. Sometimes the stage can be difficult for artists, but I’m sure she’s a pro and will bounce back strong.”
On TikTok the same day, Olivia Rodrigo reposted an edited video of herself falling, deliberately repeating the moment of “falling into a hole” with the caption “subteforeshadowing”. According to Page Six , the singer hinted at the content of her 2023 hit – Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl – on her album Guts foreshadowing the accident. The song includes the lyrics: “I broke a glass, I tripped and fell”.

It’s not the first time the beauty has had an accident while performing live. At the London leg in May, her costume malfunctioned, causing the back of her top to come undone while singing the song ” Love Is Embarrassing .” The singer held the front of her top tightly while telling the audience “it’s embarrassing.” A dancer helped Rodrigo adjust on stage and she continued performing.

Rodrigo was exposed to the arts early in elementary school through theater and music classes.
