Why Did Olivia Rodrigo Skip the 2024 MTV VMAs?

Olivia Rodrigo made quite the statement when she arrived at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2023, wearing a sparkly silver gown from Ludovic de Saint Sernin that was dripping in 150,000 Swarovski crystals and made her look like a shimmering disco ball on the red carpet. However, while her look—and her rowdy performance of “Get Him Back!” and “Vampire”—were the real scene-stealers of the night, it seems she’s leaving others to shine for the 2024 ceremony.
This year, Rodrigo received four nominations at the music video-focused ceremony, for Best Visual Effects (“Get Him Back!”), Best Art Direction (“Bad Idea Right?”), Best Cinematography (“Obsessed”), and a nomination for Best Pop. However, she was not there to accept any of her prizes.
As for why she was absent, Rodrigo just wrapped the final North American shows of her Guts World Tour last month, and if her Instagram posts are any indication, she’s enjoying some travels around Europe before she takes the tour to Asia and Oceania this fall.
Just last week, the pop punk singer was present at the Venice Film Festival, where she made her first red carpet appearance with boyfriend Louis Partridge. Since, she’s been posting carousels from her travels around Italy as she takes a break from touring, and the singer is likely enjoying some well-deserved time off, and celebrating the 1-year anniversary of Guts, from the comfort of a Mediterranean villa somewhere. We certainly can’t blame her.
