Olivia Rodrigo Gets Whacked In Head With Flowers By A Jilted Fan

Video shows the Drivers License singer refusing a bouquet while greeting concertgoers at one of her shows.

Uh, bad idea, right?

On Wednesday, the pop culture account Pop Base shared  a video on X, formerly Twitter, of a fan throwing a bouquet of flowers at Olivia Rodrigo s head.

In the clip, the Drivers License singer is seen greeting concertgoers at one of her Guts tour shows. One female fan, wearing a baseball cap, tries to force Rodrigo to take her bouquet. But when the pop star ignores her, the jilted fan hurls the blooms at Rodrigo, apparently striking her on the side of her head.

The video, which was seemingly shot by X user @elusivlivs , was likely taken during Rodrigos stop at New York Citys Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, according to other posts on the users account. Rodrigos 2024 tour dates  included shows in the city between April 5 and 9.

The incident is in line with a current trend among concertgoers who feel emboldened to throw random items at musicians during live events.

In the past few years, Lady Gaga , Bebe Rexha, Pink , Drake  and Harry Styles  have all been involved in similar incidents. 

Bebe Rexha may have had the most troubling encounter with a live audience member  in June, when authorities said a 27-year-old fan named Nicolas Malvagna pelted her with a cellphone at a concert in Manhattan. The hit caused the singers neck to snap back before she fell to the floor.

Rexha later told police  that she was in substantial pain due to the hit, according to a criminal complaint. Malvagna, who was charged with assault and harassment, allegedly told security at the venue that hed thrown the phone at Rexha because he thought it would be funny.
