"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.
"So I was like, 'Wow, that was [her grandfather] looking out for me, making sure I didn't get hurt', and so I'm really happy it happened. I think it's a beautiful story."
Rodrigo's GUTS world tour included 95 shows, including four in Melbourne and four in Sydney, with the tour wrapping up in Sydney.
