Alex Rodriguez may have three MVP awards and nearly 700 home runs, but even he has his dad moments. His daughter Ella didn't hesitate to remind him of that on Wednesday, March 6. They were at Olivia Rodrigo's concert at the Kaseya Center in Miami during her Guts World Tour.

In a video on Instagram from the concert, A-Rod, who is 48 years old, spoke to the camera. He said, "I've been filming all day, and I've never been more tired. Now I'm at a... Rodrigo?"

"Olivia Rodrigo," Ella, who is 15 years old, quickly added.

"Olivia Rodrigo concert," the baseball player added. "I'm surrounded by 20,000 teenage girls, and all I can think about is getting some sleep."

For those who have never experienced a concert with 20,000 teenage girls, finding a moment to rest is nearly impossible. The video then showed the father-daughter pair in the audience, with Ella enthusiastically singing the explicit lyrics to “Vampire” while her dad awkwardly grinned at the camera.

Ella's father was impressed as he watched her living out her teenage dream. He even changed the text on his video from "POV: Life as a teenager’s dad" to "Rodrigo is pretty good TBH." He added a caption saying, "Props @oliviarodrigo… I won’t mess up your name next time."

After retiring from Major League Baseball in 2016, Rodriguez has been fully embracing dad life. Ella is one of two daughters he shares with his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis. Their eldest daughter, Natasha, who is 19 years old, is currently a freshman at the University of Michigan.

It might seem strange for someone not to know who Olivia Rodrigo is in 2024, but A-Rod received some support in the comments. His former on-field rival and current studio partner, David Ortiz, shared, "Been there before bro," while Mario Lopez added, "Been there. I get it."

However, not all fans were as understanding. One person called him out, saying, "Don't pretend like you don't know Olivia Rodrigo." Another fan criticized the former ballplayer and entrepreneur for not investing more money in better seats.

Perhaps what's even more surprising than A-Rod not recognizing a famous pop star is that nobody in the audience seemed to notice him in the brief video he shared. The video showed him walking through the arena and taking his seat.

Overall, it appears that both father and daughter had a wonderful time. However, if you were to ask Ella, she might admit that love can be a bit embarrassing.
