It was so special and everyone was so great,&quot; she recounted in an interview on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.</em></p><p>Olivia went on: &quot;Such good singers. Like there&#x27;s a rumor that they&#x27;re really good at karaoke and everyone in the arena they were singing in harmony. It was insane.&quot;</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAyOW-rRRC5/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A754018.5%2C%22ls%22%3A44991.80000001192%2C%22le%22%3A45325.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="567" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Olivia highlighted that the fans singing were on pitch.</p><p>&quot;They were singing my lyrics back to me.

That was my next stop - Australia after the Philippines. And I was thinking about my family and my heritage and my relatives,&quot; she shared.</p><p>&quot;I fell and I was all shaken up. I went to the hospital after. Nothing happened but they just wanted to make sure I didn&#x27;t have a concussion. And randomly the nurse was a Filipino man with the same name as my grandpa who just passed away a few months ago,&quot; she relayed.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/10/29/olivia-rodrigo-says-thinking-of-her-great-grandfather-made-her-emotional-during-ph-concert-924"><strong>READ: Olivia Rodrigo says thinking of her great-grandfather made her emotional during PH concert</strong></a></div><p>Olivia remarked that she believes that her grandfather was looking after her, making sure she was not injured.</p><p>&quot;And so I was like, wow that was him looking out for me, making sure I didn&#x27;t get hurt,&quot; she said.</p>
