Olivia Rodrigo has stunned fans with a rather stomach-turning revelation about what really goes on at her packed-out shows.

The 23-year-old pop sensation, known for her emotional anthems and sell-out tours, claimed that she has actually "smelled" fans wearing diapers from the stage.

She admitted that she’s come face-to-face with some extreme fan dedication during concerts and festivals.

Speaking on KISS FM, Olivia didn’t hold back as she reflected on the unusual trend among superfans desperate to secure front-row spots.

“I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show, and it’s been an experience as a performer that I’ve smelled,” she said, leaving listeners both amused and horrified.

The Driver’s License hitmaker previously joked about the phenomenon during her BST Hyde Park set in London, where she questioned the audience after spotting signs referencing diaper-wearing for prime viewing spots.

“There’s a sign that says ‘wearing diapers for the front row’. Is that true?” she laughed on stage. 

“That’s actually amazing. I love you. Thank you for doing that. That’s crazy.”

Meanwhile, the songstress also opened up about a nerve-shredding moment ahead of her 2025 Glastonbury headline performance, revealing she was told the field looked nearly empty just minutes before going on stage.

She recalled friends panicking backstage as crowds were still filtering in from other stages, creating the illusion of a half-empty field.

Despite the scare, the deja vu singer said the night became one of the most special of her career, even joking, “Kill the drone shot” when asked about the early empty views.
