Body Language Expert Dissects Olivia Rodrigo's Flirtatious Grammys Moment With V From BTS

While we may never know what BTS band member V (aka Kim Taehyung) whispered in Olivia Rodrigo's ear, body language expert and "A.W.E.S.O.M.E." author Jess Ponce III told Nicki Swift that he's certain that "it was purposefully done to get a reaction, not only from Olivia, but also fans. Mission accomplished." 

Still, Ponce is adamant that Rodrigo's reaction to the moment V "made his move" and "leaned in and whispered into her ear" was twofold. "Initially, Olivia definitely seemed to be flirting. Her body leaned slightly forward with her eyes looking down, then up to V as she smiled and made small talk. At the same time, she seemed slightly nervous as he sat close to her, looking intensely in her direction," Ponce noted about the encounter. "There were four different parts to Olivia's reaction. First, was shock or surprise as her mouth dropped. Followed by a bit of confusion, seen in her eyebrow movement. She then looked directly at V, as if to seek clarity. Then, when he pulled out a note from behind her, she once again seemed surprised, moving back slightly, but easing into a smile. Those few seconds produced an explosion of expression," he continued. 

As Rodrigo once waxed poetic, "it's always 1 step forward, and 3 steps back."
