Footage of Olivia Rodrigo apparently wiping underarm sweat into her hair on stage has sparked a wave of criticism and debate online, with some social media users branding the move 'disgusting' and 'unsanitary'. The clip, dated 4 October and linked by LADbible to a Washington, DC performance, shows the 21-year-old during a stop on her current tour.
The singer began The Unraveled Tour on 25 September, a run of around 86 shows across North America and Europe. In the video, she is seen performing 'Serena Joy'. LADbible connects the date shown on the footage to a show listed at the Capital One Arena, citing her publicly available tour schedule.
