Olivia Rodrigo had a big world tour that she said was fun — despite an incident that made headlines.
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he highlighted the fact that Rodrigo “handled it like a pro” after she fell through a hole on stage during a performance earlier this month in Melbourne. Australia.
Fallon then shared the video of the fall.
“Oh my God, that was fun! I’m fine! Wow, sometimes there’s just a hole in the scene. Everything is fine,” Rodrigo told the crowd.
She smiled broadly after Fallon showed the video and even laughed a little.
“It was really scary,” Rodrigo said. “Watching the video back is pretty horrifying. I mean the show must go on, it’s show business baby.”
She said it was “actually kind of a beautiful thing” that 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 just kind of shaken up,” she said. “Then I went to the hospital. Nothing happened, but they just wanted to make sure I didn’t have a concussion.
The male nurse who helped her at the hospital was Filipino, Rodrigo said, and just happened to have the same name as her grandfather, who died a few months ago.
“So I was like wow, that was it [her grandfather] watch out for me, she said. “To make sure I don’t get hurt and that’s why I’m really happy it happened. I think it’s a beautiful story.”
