Selena Gomez Looks Scared During Olivia Rodrigo's Fake Stage Malfunction at the VMAs: Watch
Everyone's hearts were beating a little too fast during Olivia Rodrigo's performance at the VMAs on September 12. She totally fooled the crowd, including Selena Gomez, 31, with a fake stage malfunction. As Olivia, 20, continued to sing “Vampire,” the pyrotechnics behind her appeared to malfunction.
At one point, even Olivia seemed a little scared. The camera panned to the crowd and Selena could be seen holding her hand to her ear. As she watched Olivia's performance, her eyes looked very worried.
Olivia was rushed off stage as the "dysfunction" worsened, but it was just an act. The performance was a nod to Olivia's "Vampire" music video where she is rushed off stage in a similar manner. The HSMTMTS alum returned to the stage and sang her hit "Get Him Back."
Selena was one of the stars who unexpectedly appeared on the VMAs carpet before the show. The Only Murders in the Building star looked dazzling in a red floral dress. Taylor Swift, 33, Selena's best friend, also made a surprise appearance and gave off Reputation vibes in her black Versace dress.
Olivia recently addressed rumors of bad blood between her and Taylor. Olivia notably had to give Taylor writing credits for two of her songs on her debut album, Sour, and therefore forgo millions in royalties. In her recent interview with Rolling Stone, Olivia said she has "no problem with anyone."

When asked if she would force an artist to take credit for a song if a situation like this happened in the future, Olivia replied: "I don't think I personally ever would. But who's to say where I'll be in 20, 30 years. All I can do is write my songs and focus on what I can control .”
