A viral clip from Olivia Rodrigo's concert in Washington, DC, appears to show the singer wiping her hands under her armpits before running them through her hair. The video's original source has not been independently verified. The footage has drawn criticism from some viewers who called the apparent gesture 'disgusting' and 'unsanitary', while others defended her stage persona.

The reaction comes as Rodrigo continues The Unraveled Tour, which has attracted attention for its theatrical costumes and unusual visual effects, including a water-reactive dress that dissolves on stage.
