Rodrigo had been due to begin her UK tour at the £365m arena – but the concerts were postponed after a heating pipe fell from the ceiling as the venue prepared to open.
It was one of a number of major embarrassments for the 23,500-capacity venue, the UK’s largest indoor arena.
This weekend, Rodrigo’s tour reached the world’s biggest arena, the 55,000-capacity Philippine Arena, a show significant for the singer because her great-grandfather emigrated from the Philippines to the US.
She has now moved on to Australia, the last leg of the main part of the Guts tour, but will also perform a string of shows in South America next March.
