You’ve gotta see this clip -- during her final "Guts" tour concert in Melbourne, Australia on Monday, Olivia was all hyped up, running across the stage and pointing at someone, completely oblivious to the massive opening right in front of her -- and next thing you know, she’s dropping through the stage, disappearing from view.

The stadium lights at Rod Laver Arena were mostly dimmed, making it totally fair Olivia couldn’t see the pitfall ahead ... anyone else in her position probably would've had an equally hard landing.

Ariana Grande's got her own distinct voice, but she can still imitate just about any big singer in Hollywood ... paying tribute to some incredible female vocalists during her tongue-in-cheek "Saturday Night Live" monologue.

The singer-songwriter hosted 'SNL' for the second time ... having first helmed the program way back in 2016 -- pointing out how when she hosted last time, America also had a female nominee for president, and hoping it goes better for Kamala Harris than Hillary Clinton.

Grande then says she's lucky she's to star in the movie version of the Broadway show "Wicked" -- set for release next month -- before adding she doesn't plan on singing during this show, just taking on host duties.

Cardi B's making sure her 32nd birthday is memorable ... for herself, for everyone watching her ass-shaking celebration and, possibly, for her estranged hubby who did not see the party in person.

Cardi was rocking a backless black romper that showed off all her back tatts, and struggled to cover her ass. The tiny outfit didn't hamper her signature dance moves ... as she twerked all night for the cameras, and was even slinging drinks, at one point in the evening.
