Olivia Rodrigo suffers wardrobe malfunction during sold-out London concert as dancers scramble to help her
Bad idea, right?
Olivia Rodrigo suffered a major wardrobe malfunction mid-performance during her sold-out concert at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday as her dancers scrambled to help the singer.
The “Get Him Back!” hitmaker, 21, was in the middle of an energetic set for her hit track “Love Is Embarrassing” — from her latest acclaimed album “Guts” — when her black leather crop top came undone.
Fortunately for the “Drivers License” singer, her back was toward the crowd and she quickly put her hand behind her back to prevent the top from sliding off her shoulders.
“Love’s f–king embarrassing!” she shouted into the mic, not missing a lyric to the song.
But the singer didn’t let the wardrobe mishap stop her from continuing with the lively performance.
Keeping her composed, she moved closer to the center of the stage, with one hand on her mic and the other holding the top.
One of Rodrigo’s backup dancers was captured trying to help the singer clip the top back on while dancing.
“I almost flashed you guys but it’s OK now,” she told the crowd after the song ended, before rushing off to fix the mishap.
The ordeal was captured by a fan on TikTok and has already racked up over 600k views since being posted Wednesday night.
The “Obsessed” hitmaker’s fans praised her backup dancer’s ability to stay focused during the onstage fashion emergency.
“The dancer is awesome trying to fix it while vibing,” one user wrote, while another added, “Backup dancer deserves a raise for that one.”
“The song choice is one thing. but can we talk about how professional she and her dancer was,” a third wrote.
In March, one of Rodrigo’s backup dancers had a near-identical wardrobe malfunction during the same song, “Love Is Embarrassing,” at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada.
The dancer could be seen gripping her pink top as the back flung open in a now-viral TikTok video.
Regardless, the professional dancer was able to quickly readjust her straps and returned to dancing as if nothing had happened.
Fans couldn’t help but praise the dancer for keeping her cool onstage.
“She handled it like a pro omg I would’ve panicked and cried after,” shared one fan, as another noted, “What a queen! She carried on with the choreography and managed not to flash.”
“Love how she managed to finish the dance without complaining or interrupting, she’s a professional,” another pointed out at the time.
Rodrigo’s London show on Tuesday was her first of four concerts as part of her global “Guts World Tour.”
The singer’s tour, which includes 77 stops in North America and Europe, will wrap up at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Calif., in August.
