Prior to her Saturday night concert at Little Caesars Arena, Olivia Rodrigo found time to spoof Nicole Kidman's AMC Theatres spot inside the empty venue.

Singer, song writer Olivia Rodrigo's attacks the stage as she delights the fans during her sold out GUTS tour stop at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan on March 23, 2024.

The pop singer used the audio of Kidman's theater ad, which has become an internet favorite, as she treated the arena like her own personal movie theater.

"We come to this place for magic," Rodrigo lip syncs, walking down an aisle in LCA's lower bowl. "We come to AMC Theatres to love, to cry, to care."

Rodrigo is then seen eating a huge bag of popcorn in her seat, and miming Kidman as she talks about "that indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim and we go somewhere we've never been before," as crew members set up her stage in the background.

Rodrigo posted the video Wednesday to TikTok and tagged it "ily montreal," where she played shows Tuesday and Wednesday. But the video is clearly shot inside Little Caesars Arena; in the background, ads can be seen for Comerica Bank and the Detroit Medical Center.

The video has so far received 5.5 million views and 1.3 million likes.

Rodrigo's sold-out Little Caesars Arena concert packed more than 15,000 fans into the downtown Detroit venue for an all-out scream along, and even heartbreak felt good in a place like that. Read our review of the concert here.
