Pop star Olivia Rodrigo took an unexpected fall during her Oct. 13 concert in Melbourne, Australia, sparking concern among her fans and concert attendees.
In footage captured by a fan, Rodrigo was seen running around while talking to the crowd, then she began to sprint to another side of the stage without looking, making her suddenly fall down a hole in the stage floor.

Despite the quick turn of events and the crowd’s screams of disbelief, the “vampire” singer climbed out from the lowered platform, uttering the words, “Oh my God! That was fun. I’m okay!” eliciting laughs and screams from the audience. “Sometimes, there is just a hole in the stage. Okay, where was I? How are you doing tonight, Melbourne?”
Rodrigo’s fall immediately went viral on social media, and the Filipino-American singer herself also poked fun at the moment after she joined TikTok’s “subtle foreshadowing” trend with an edit that highlights her tumble through the stage. In the comments section of her post, she then again reassured everyone that she’s okay.

On Oct. 5, Rodrigo staged her “GUTS” show at the Philippine Arena. She was commended for her initiative to donate all her net ticket sales to Jhpiego, a nonprofit local organization that provides healthcare to Filipino women and girls.
“We are beyond honored to be the nonprofit Olivia chose to support during her first visit to the Philippines. Her generosity and commitment to women’s health will make a lasting impact,” said the organization in their social media post at the time.
The “Driver’s License” singer visited the country with her boyfriend, British actor Louis Partridge. During their visit, the pair delighted their fans with romantic sightings as they engaged in public display of affection, or PDA, at the NAIA airport and Intramuros.
