Olivia Rodrigo talks about her fall on stage.

Published on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon On Tuesday, October 29, host Jimmy Fallon spoke about the mishap before playing a clip of the 21-year-old singer falling into a hole on stage during a performance in Melbourne, Australia, earlier this month.

“Oh my god, that was fun! I'm fine,” Rodrigo said jokingly in the video as she climbed out of the hole to continue with the concert. “Wow, sometimes there’s just a hole on the stage.”

After laughing about the flashback on the talk show, Rodrigo recalled that the moment was “really scary.”

“When I watch the video again, it's pretty frightening,” the three-time Grammy winner continued. “I mean the show must go on, this is showbiz, baby.”

She added: “It was a really beautiful thing and looking back I'm really glad it happened.” I had just been to the Philippines. That was my next stop after the Philippines, Australia.”

“And I thought about my family and my heritage and my relatives, and I fell and I was like completely confused,” said the musician. “And then I went to the hospital. Nothing happened, but they just wanted to make sure I didn’t have a concussion.”
