Olivia Rodrigo reveals she's 'smelled' the extreme lengths fans go to to secure front-row spots at her concerts
Olivia Rodrigo has revealed the extreme lengths some fans will go to to make sure they don’t miss a single moment of her performance.
The Grammy winning singer recently appeared on KISS Radio, where she shared a shocking snippet of just how dedicated some fans can be to hold onto their spot at the front.
“I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show, and it's been an experience as a performer that I've smelled,” she shared.
Rodrigo added: "It's also like with the ball drop in New York for New Year's Eve, everyone is wearing diapers — they sit there all day.

“That's a thing. I think about it kind of often. It's a real thing."
Although she didn’t go into specifics about when and where this has happened, last year, she headlined the BST Hyde Park Festival, where some fans had signs admitting to ‘wearing diapers’.
Addressing the crowd from the stage, she said: “There’s a sign that says ‘wearing diapers for the front row’. Is that true? Did you guys wear diapers? You’re wearing a diaper right now to be in the front row? Wow.
“That is actually amazing. I love you. Thank you for doing that. That’s crazy.”
As you might imagine, Rodrigo’s revelation has left some folks taken aback, with one writing on Reddit: “That’s f***ing crazy I didn’t even know this was a thing.”
Another said: “There is no celebrity or item in this world that I like enough to make me do this.”
While a third joked: “I’m fine in the back, thanks.”
And Rodrgio isn’t the only pop star with fans who aren’t willing to take a mid-set comfort break.
Back in 2023, when Taylor Swift began her record-breaking Eras tour, several Swifties took to TikTok claiming they’d be doing the same for the three-hour long performance.
“The amount of stress and time it took me to get Taylor Swift tickets, I will be getting an adult diaper because I’m not missing a minute of it,” one said.
