'Oh my god!': Cheers abruptly turn to horrified screams as Olivia Rodrigo falls into hole in Melbourne stage
Olivia Rodrigo's fans in Melbourne had no idea they'd be in for a split-second of fear after they walked into Rod Laver Arena last night.
The 21-year-old Filipina-American singing sensation was in the middle of performing the final of her four sold-out shows in Victoria's capital on Monday evening when she abruptly disappeared into the stage.
Cheers quickly turned into shocked screams early into the Drivers License songstress' set, with footage shared to TikTok showing Rodrigo running around greeting her adoring audience – before falling into a "hole" in the middle of the stage.

Luckily, Rodrigo had managed to catch herself with her hands, securing them on the edge of the floor hatch that had seemingly accidentally been left open from when she had entered earlier.
Almost as quickly as she had disappeared, Rodrigo emerged on stage again, popping up from the hole and reassuring her audience.
With a smile on her face, Rodrigo casually spoke into the microphone: "Oh my god! That was fun, I'm OK! Sometimes there is just a hole in the stage, OK... where was I?"
Where she was happened to be greeting her fans, which she quickly got on with.
