Olivia Rodrigo had a big world tour that she said was fun – despite an accident that made headlines.

During a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” he brought up the fact that Rodrigo “handled it like a pro” after she fell through a hole on stage during a performance earlier this month in Melbourne, Australia had fallen.

Fallon then shared video of the fall.

“Oh my god, that was fun! I'm ok! Wow, sometimes there's just a hole in the stage. That’s fine,” Rodrigo told the audience.

She smiled broadly after Fallon showed the video and even giggled a little.

“It was really scary,” Rodrigo said. “Watching the video again is pretty frightening. I mean the show must go on, that’s showbiz, baby.”

She thought it was “actually a beautiful thing” after Rodrigo, who is part Filipino, had just visited the Philippines.

“I thought about my family, my origins and my relatives, and I fell and was completely upset,” she said. “I went to the hospital afterwards. Nothing happened, but they just wanted to make sure I didn’t have a concussion.”

The nurse who helped her at the hospital was Filipino, Rodrigo said, and happened to have the same name as her grandfather, who had died a few months earlier.

“So I was like, wow, that’s (her grandfather) looking out for me,” she said. “I made sure I didn't get injured and so I'm really glad it happened. I think it’s a beautiful story.”
