In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Olivia Rodrigo shared an unforgettable experience from her GUTS world tour—one that involved a surprising encounter with law enforcement.
The Interrogation Incident
During her tour stop from Canada to Portland, Olivia found herself in an unexpected situation at the border. When she presented her passport, authorities called for her, leading her to believe a fan might want an autograph. To her shock, she was taken into an interrogation room where a stern officer asked if she had ever been arrested.
“I started panicking and second-guessing myself,” she revealed. After 30 minutes of questioning, the officer finally clarified that there was another person with a similar name, Olivia Rodriguez, who had a history with the law. “I was relieved but also pretty annoyed!” she admitted, laughing at the mix-up.
Tour Highlights and Connection with Fans
Despite the scare, Olivia highlighted the positive experiences from her tour, particularly her visit to the Philippines. “I’d never been before, and the fans were so welcoming! They sang my lyrics back perfectly,” she shared, reminiscing about the incredible energy in the arena.
She also discussed a memorable moment from her Australian show when she accidentally fell through a hole in the stage. “It was scary, but I handled it like a pro. It turned out to be a beautiful experience, as I met a Filipino nurse at the hospital with the same name as my late grandpa,” she reflected.
Friendship with Chappell Roan
Olivia also opened up about her friendship with Chappell Roan, who opened for her on the GUTS tour. “We’ve known each other for years, and she’s even done background vocals on some of my songs,” Olivia revealed. Their connection dates back to when Chappell worked at a donut shop before her rise to fame. “I used to visit her there, and I’m so proud of how far she’s come,” Olivia expressed.
