Olivia Rodrigo performed her “first show” ever with a daytime set at Las Vegas’ iHeartRadio Festival on Saturday, September 18th.
The performance saw the pop star perform five cuts from her debut record, Sour — ‘Traitor, ‘Good 4 U’, ‘Jealousy, Jealousy’ and her breakout single, ‘Drivers License.’
During Rodrigo’s performance of ‘Drivers License’, a full-blown fistfight broke out between two women. Footage captured of the altercation shows the two women throwing punches at each other before a man intervenes to break up the brawl.
It’s footage that has unearthed some long-repressed trauma of being a tall teenager in a The 1975 pit. Never underestimate the fighting power of a pop girlie. Check out the video below.
