Fans have collective meltdown over BTS’ V, Olivia Rodrigo’s flirty interaction at Grammys

K-pop sensation whispered in singer’s ear in seemingly scripted exchange

The BTS Army and Olivia Rodrigo fans cannot keep calm after V, also known as Kim Taehyung, from the K-pop group and the teen pop sensation had a flirty interaction at the Grammys. Fans were sent into a tizzy when, as BTS prepared to take to the stage for their performance, V whispered in Olivia’s ear in an apparently scripted exchange, causing the Deja Vu singer’s jaw to dramatically drop.

The members of the K-pop group were scattered across the auditorium, with V seated at Olivia’s table. If the interaction was scripted for higher ratings, the producers definitely achieved their goal as fans of both BTS and Olivia had a collective meltdown on the internet after the moment was televised live on Sunday. 

Here are some of the best (and most hilarious) reactions to the exchange:
