Olivia Rodrigo, the 21-year-old hitmaker, had fans on the edge of their seats during her live show in Melbourne on Sunday night. As she was performing to a sold-out crowd, the singer took a tumble that had everyone gasping in shock.
Rodrigo, who rose to fame through her role in Disney Plus' High School Musical TV series, was running across the stage during a segment, with only a spotlight to guide her. However, she failed to notice a gaping hole on the floor and fell into it while addressing the crowd.
Thankfully, the talented musician managed to grab onto a ledge and stop herself from falling further. Despite the unexpected incident, she quickly got back on her feet and reassured her fans that she was alright. With a laugh and a giggle, she exclaimed, "Oh my god! That was fun! I'm okay!"
Showing true professionalism, Rodrigo continued with her performance as if nothing had happened, much to the delight of the 14,000-strong crowd. She asked, "How are you doing tonight, Melbourne?!" and carried on with her gig, leaving her fans in awe.
The video of her fall was later reposted on her TikTok account, which has over 22 million followers. In response to the video, the singer commented, "I am ok hahaha," with a heart emoji. The post has been viewed over 800,000 times in just two hours.
This isn't the first time an artist has fallen on stage, as Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready took a tumble during a show in 2024. However, like a professional, he continued playing without missing a beat while a security guard helped him up.
It seems that falling on stage is a common occurrence, as fans pointed out that the incident mirrored the lyrics of Rodrigo's song "Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl." The singer also joked about the fall, saying, "Sometimes there's just a hole in the stage, but that's alright."
Despite the minor hiccup, Rodrigo's Guts tour is still going strong, and she continues to captivate audiences with her talent. As for the hole on the stage, we can only hope that it was covered up for future performances to avoid any more surprises.
