Olivia Rodrigo accidentally stumbled into a hilariously awkward situation at a recent Guts World Tour show.
While interacting with fans in the audience during her first tour stop in Sydney on Thursday (Oct. 17), the 21-year-old pop star had good intentions when she asked two people in attendance she thought were a couple to kiss for the jumbotron. “You guys are so cute,” she said in the moment. “I have a really huge fun think to ask: Would you guys give us a kiss on the Guts cam?”
When the boy she’d singled out immediately shook his head and mouthed, “She’s my sister” as the girl next to him blushed, the crowd at Sydney SuperDome roared with laughter. “She’s your sister! Sh–!” yelled Rodrigo in response, backing away. “Never mind, never mind, scrap that!”
“Oh, f—, wow,” the “Vampire” singer added. “That hasn’t happened before.”
The fan later posted a video of the moment captioned, “Olivia Rodrigo asking my sister and I to kiss was not on my 2024 bingo card.”
“I AM SO SORRY,” Rodrigo wrote in the comments.
The three-time Grammy winner has been on the road since February, but she’ll soon be done touring for the rest of 2024 once her four-night stay in Sydney wraps up Oct. 22. In March, she’ll perform a limited run of shows in Latin America before playing two rescheduled shows in Manchester June 30 and July 1.
“It’s overwhelming — in the best way — to work with such a large, incredible crew and put shows on every night in front of big audiences,” Rodrigo recently reflected of the tour in an interview with Billboard. “Everyone’s energy is really inspiring and makes me want to bring my all every night. That being said, sometimes it can get very overstimulating. I’ve learned so much about how to take care of myself by being on the road.”
And though the entire run has largely gone off without a hitch, Rodrigo did experience a hiccup in Melbourne a few days prior to her first Sydney show. While running around on stage, the musician fell through a random hole in the floor before getting straight back up like a pro, telling fans: “Oh my God, that was fun … I’m OK!”
