Olivia Rodrigo's performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards
00:13
prompts concern.
00:15
Here's why.
00:16
Shortly after the 20-year-old takes the stage
00:19
to sing her hit "Vampire," fans thought Olivia
00:22
might have suffered a series of technical malfunctions
00:26
after Sparks literally flew on stage.
00:29
She appears startled as props start to drop down
00:33
and the music glitches.
00:35
Even Selena Gomez looks worried in the audience.
00:39
(crowd cheering)
00:41
But as we quickly discovered,
00:49
it was all part of Olivia's plan.
00:52
Olivia returns to the stage moments later,
00:54
kicking off her breakup anthem, "Get 'Em Back."
00:58
And if that moment gave you deja vu,
01:00
no, you didn't imagine it.
01:02
The performance plays out similarly
01:05
to Olivia's music video for the song "Vampire."
01:08
Good for you, Olivia.
01:09
You really know how to keep us on the edge of our seats.
01:13
In other Olivia headlines, eagle-eyed viewers
01:15
couldn't help but notice Taylor Swift clapping
01:18
for the driver's license singer
01:21
ahead of her VMAs performance as her name was announced.
01:25
It follows feud rumors that were sparked
01:27
by some lyrics on Olivia's latest album,
01:30
specifically a song called "The Grudge."
01:33
But shortly before the VMAs,
01:35
Olivia squashed the rumors about potential drama
01:39
between the two pop queens.
01:41
When asked about Taylor,
01:42
Olivia tells Rolling Stone in a new interview,
01:45
"I don't have beef with anyone.
01:48
"I'm very chill, I keep to myself.
01:50
"I have my four friends and my mom,
01:53
"and that's really the only people I talk to ever."
01:56
She adds, "There's nothing to say.
01:58
"There's so many Twitter conspiracy theories.
02:00
"I only look at alien conspiracy theories."
