Her fans gasped in horror as she vanished through a floor hatch that had seemingly been left open from a previous entrance.
Fortunately, Olivia was able to grab the edge of the stage and pull herself back up, expressing her astonishment at the unexpected fall to the audience.
Though visibly shaken, she reassured her fans that she was okay.
“Oh my God! That was fun, I’m okay! Sometimes there is just a hole in the stage, Okay… where was I?” she quipped in the footage.

Of course, the demonstration of toughness and professionalism impressed her adoring fans.
“THE WAY SHE FALLS DOWN AND INSTANTLY GETS UP SAYING “OMG THAT’S FUNNY, I’M OK” IS SO ICONIC 😭,” one fan gushed in the comments to her TikTok.
Another fan added: “i laughed so hard but i hope you’re fine babe.”
Meanwhile, a third fan admitted they would’ve taken the gaffe as an excuse to lay out for the rest of the night.
“the way i would stay down there and canceled the show if this ever happened to me,” they joked.
