AceShowbiz - Olivia Rodrigo made an unexpected visit to Pete's Candy Store in New York City on Sunday evening, where she performed her latest single, Drop Dead, during the venue's regular open mic night.

The pop star took the small stage accompanied by a guitarist, delivering a stripped-down version of the song that captivated the intimate crowd. A clip circulating online highlights the raw and emotional quality of her live rendition.

Fans on social media noted how impressive her vocals sounded in the cozy setting, with one observer mentioning that she was in New York to begin rehearsals for her upcoming double duty episode on Saturday Night Live.

Drop Dead was released earlier this month alongside a music video shot at the opulent Versailles in France. The track serves as the lead single from her highly anticipated album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.

On Instagram, Olivia Rodrigo expressed her excitement about the song, writing, "I love this song so much!!! It's the first chapter in the story of 'you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love' and it makes me wanna skip around and roll the windows down and make out!"

This intimate performance provides fans a rare glimpse of Rodrigo’s artistry in a stripped-back environment, contrasting with the grand visuals of her recent video, and builds anticipation for the forthcoming album.
