Olivia Rodrigo says she smelled fans wearing diapers

Pop singer Olivia Rodrigo said she has personally noticed and smelled fans wearing adult diapers at concerts and festivals, a practice some attendees adopt to secure and keep front-row spots without leaving for restrooms. The 23-year-old artist made the remarks during a recent interview with KISS FM UK while promoting her new album, "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love."

Rodrigo described encountering the behavior at various events. "I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show," she said. "And that's been an experience as a performer that I have smelled." She specifically recalled a New Year's Eve performance in New York City's Times Square, noting that attendees wearing diapers would sit in place all day.

The phenomenon is not unique to Rodrigo's fanbase. Similar stories emerged during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, where some fans openly discussed using diapers to avoid missing any part of the lengthy performances. Rodrigo's comments came in response to a question about the worst place she had ever had to use a restroom, though she shifted the topic to fan behavior instead.
