The pop star has shared why she’s ‘really happy’ the viral incident happened.

Concertgoers gasped as she hit her arms on the stage trying to catch herself, before she recovered and told the crowd: “Oh my God! That was fun, I’m OK! Wow! Sometimes there is just a hole in the stage. That’s alright!”
The Vampire hitmaker has since addressed the viral moment during an interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote the GUTS concert special on Netflix. While she said the incident was “pretty terrifying” to watch back, she revealed that she now feels thankful it happened to her after having a “beautiful” experience in the hospital.
“It was actually kind of a beautiful thing, and I’m really happy it happened in hindsight,” she detailed. “So I’d just been to the Philippines – that was my next stop, Australia, after the Philippines – and I was thinking about my family and my heritage and my relatives.
“I fell and I was like all shaken up and I went to the hospital after – nothing happened, but they just wanted to make sure I didn’t have a concussion.”
Olivia went on to share that the nurse was a Filipino man with the same name as her grandpa, who passed away a few months ago.
“And so I was like, wow, that was him looking out for me making sure I didn’t get hurt, and so I’m really happy it happened,” she said.
“That was your grandfather, it absolutely was,” Jimmy replied. “He was like, ‘I’ll take care of you, Olivia. I’m so proud of you, you’re crushing it’.”

Olivia’s major announcement
Olivia, who is half-Filipina, performed the biggest concert of her career last month when she played for 55,000 people at the Philippine Arena in Manila.
She shared a post on social media following the concert announcing that she would be donating all of the profits from her net ticket sales to Jhpiego, a global organisation that helps provide healthcare to women and girls in the Philippines.
“It was the most special show and the most meaningful trip. To say I’m grateful doesn’t even cut it! Mahal kita,” she wrote, which means ‘I love you’ in Filipino.
The Disney starlet wrapped up her global tour in Sydney last week after eight shows Down Under, all of which completely sold out.
“And that’s a wrap on the GUTS world tour! 95 shows, 22 countries and a few matching tattoos,” she posted on social media following the final Sydney concert.
“Words cannot describe how lucky I feel to have been able to travel all around the world playing these songs with the most extraordinary group of people. I’ll never forget this experience and all the sweet memories we made on the road.”
