Olivia Rodrigo shivers through the trapdoor during the concert
Olivia Rodrigo didn't break a glass, but she sure did trip and fall.
The pop star, who is currently on her Guts world tour, collapsed on stage while performing in Melbourne, Australia on Monday. The concert was the last of four shows at Rod Laver Arena.
Footage shared on social media showed the “Obsessed” singer running back and forth when she fell through the stage's trap door. Without missing a beat, Rodrigo assured concertgoers that he was not injured. “Oh my God, that was fun,” he joked to the crowd. “I'm fine.”
He added: “Sometimes there's just a hole in the stage. It's all right.”
After returning, Rodrigo resumed cheering fans on the show. “Where was I?” He said “How are we doing tonight, Melbourne?”

Bad 4 U?Olivia Rodrigo sleeps 13 hours on the Guts World Tour. Is it too much?
The Guts World Tour kicked off with a North American run in February, followed by an encore of the tour's European and North American legs in the summer.
In a review of her July 20 show in Washington, D.C., USA TODAY music critic Melissa Ruggieri wrote, “For a high-speed 100 minutes, Rodrigo, her powerful all-female band and troupe of dancers zip through vengeful serrated-guitar music and spunk, Heartsick ballad with the sass and tension that comes from months of perfection.”
“Naturally gifted and already schooled in the art of stagecraft, Rodrigo is not only the reigning young Jedi of pop music, but the kind of performer who has practically struck a chord with his legions of fans,” added Ruggieri.
The Guts World Tour is in support of Rodrigo's 2023 sophomore album of the same name. The pop-rock LP topped the Billboard 200 chart upon its release and earned the singer six Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year.
