The Reason Why Olivia Rodrigo Did Not Attend the 2024 MTV VMAs
2024 MTV VMAs: Why Olivia Rodrigo and Ariana Grande Were Missing From the MTV Video Music Awards
Olivia Rodrigo took 3 steps back from the VMAs.
While stars like Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan and Tyla gathered at UBS Arena in New York for the 2024 MTV VMAs Sept. 11, the “Vampire” singer, who was up for four awards, was noticeable absent.
As for why Olivia didn’t make an appearance at the award show? The 21-year-old was preoccupied with the Guts World Tour. After wrapping up the North American leg of her tour, the “Traitor” singer celebrated the first anniversary of her second album while frolicking through Europe.
“this is me today happy as a clam, grateful as hell,” Olivia—who is dating Louis Partridge—wrote in her Sept. 8 Instagram post, posing in front of a stunning landscape, complete with a vivid rainbow. “thank you so much for all the love you’ve shown this album the past 365 days. life is fu–in magical.”
But she can’t galivant through European fields for too long, as she is expected at the Impact Arena in Bangkok to kick off the Asia and Australia legs of her tour on Sept. 15.
