Olivia Rodrigo suffers shock gaffe as she FALLS through the stage during the final Melbourne show on her Aussie Guts tour
Olivia Rodrigo suffered a shocking blunder when she fell through the stage during the final Melbourne show of her Australian Guts tour.
The pop star, 21, took to the stage in front of about 14,000 fans at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Monday night for her fourth and final concert in the city.
She put on her usual energetic performance but left fans horrified during a tense moment when she suddenly fell through a hole in the stage.
The American singer got the crowd excited and ran across the stage with her microphone to hear them cheer when the unfortunate accident occurred.
Video footage shared on social media showed the vampire hitmaker rushing from one side of the stage to the other when she suddenly fell through a hole.
Her fans could be heard gasping in horror as she disappeared through a floor hatch, which had apparently been accidentally left open from an earlier entrance.
Luckily, Olivia managed to grab her hands on the edge of the stage and clamber back onto the stage, sharing her shock at the unexpected fall with the audience.
She sounded shocked and assured her fans that she was unharmed when she said: ‘Oh my God! That was fun, I’m doing well! Sometimes there’s just a hole in the stage, okay… where was I?’
