With mischief levels at their peak on Halloween, you never know what to expect. But we’re pretty certain that a group of trick-or-treaters never thought they’d be greeted by pop star Olivia Rodrigo while on the hunt for candy.
The elaborate prank was all part of a segment for Jimmy Kimmel Live. And if you recall, the late night show is no stranger to pranking children on Halloween.
During the prank, the first set of trick-or-treaters were greeted by Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez. Clad in his finest Olivia Rodrigo costume, he asked the group if they knew who he was dressed as. Shortly after they answered, they were surprised by Olivia herself.
“I went to your concert,” one of the trick-or-treaters excitedly confessed.
One girl in the next group was left speechless when the “Can’t Catch Me Now” singer appeared with a bucket of candy.
“Why are you not talking?” she was asked by a fellow trick-or-treater giving off serious little brother energy.
“It’s like if you met whoever you like the most,” she responded.
Another trick-or-treater was left in tears after being greeted by Olivia. But don’t worry, they were happy tears (apparently her first).
“I’ve never happy cried in my life,” she revealed after giving the singer a big hug.
The adorable Halloween prank ended on a high-note with trick-or-treaters and Olivia singing along to “Vampire.”
