Near the end of " Vampire , " something … weird happened .
SoOlivia Rodrigoperformed at the2023 MTV VMAstonight.
She performed a few songs from her latest blockbuster albumGUTS, including “Vampire” and “Get Him Back!”
But near the end of “Vampire,” something…weird happened.
Basically, there was an intentional stage malfunction that was directly referencing the video for “Vampire.”
Unfortunately, the reference wasn’t that obvious to a lot of people watching inside the Prudential Arenaandat home.
Olivia Rodrigo seems startled by the firework onstage.#VMAspic.twitter.com / FKkTyAkhVg
