Olivia Rodrigo on ‘terrifying’ moment she fell through hole on stage during Melbourne concert

Olivia Rodrigo has had a big world tour that she said has been fun – despite an accident in Australia that made headlines around the world.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (Wednesday AEDT), the host brought up the fact that Rodrigo “handled it like a pro” after she fell through a hole on the stage while performing earlier this month in Melbourne.

Fallon then shared the video of the fall.

“Oh my God, that was fun! I’m ok! Wow, sometimes there’s just a hole in the stage. That’s alright,” Rodrigo told the audience in the clip.

Rodrigo had a broad smile after the footage played and giggled before admitting the moment “was really scary”.

“Watching the video back is pretty terrifying,” she said.

“I mean the show must go on, that’s showbiz baby.”

The singer described it as “actually kind of a beautiful thing” having happened after Rodrigo, who is part Filipino, had just visited the Philippines.

”I was thinking about my family and my heritage and my relatives and I fell and I was like all shaken up,” she said.

“I went to the hospital after – nothing happened but they just wanted to make sure I didn’t have a concussion.”

The nurse who helped her in the hospital was also Filipino, Rodrigo said, and just happened to have the same name as her grandfather, who had died a few months before.
