Olivia Rodrigo marks end of Guts era

Olivia Rodrigo has reached the “end of the ‘Guts’ era”.

The 21-year-old singer released her second album in September 2023 and has spent several months this year on her ‘Guts World Tour’, but now she has admitted the release of an accompanying concert movie on Netflix means she is ready to move on to something else.

She told Rolling Stone: “I think it’s the end of the ‘Guts’ era! I love this era so much. It was so much fun to get to create and share with the fans.

“I’m so grateful that fans have embraced ‘Guts’ in the way that they have.

“I felt so much pressure after ‘Sour’ to make something that could follow it up, and that was a really daunting task. I’m proud of the album, and I’m really proud of the musical elements that we explored and so proud of it lyrically.

“The fact that people have embraced it the way that they have just means so much to me, and I’m really excited for a break and for what’s to come.”

Although the ‘Bad Idea Right?’ hitmaker was writing new songs while she is on the road, she isn’t sure whether they will ever be released as she was only penning lyrics as a “form of self-care”.

She said: “Sometimes it’s hard to write when you’re constantly moving around, and you don’t feel very grounded.

“But I did find a chance to make a few songs on the road.

“Songwriting for me is a form of self-care. It’s like journaling or going to therapy. It makes everything seem so much less overwhelming.

“I definitely wrote some songs, but mostly just for myself. But I think that’s how all good songs start out as anyway.”

Although she sold out arenas around the world, Olivia is still unsure if she wants to take a step up to playing stadiums next.

She said: “I’m undecided. I mean, that is so crazy to me that the ticket demand was so that I could have played stadiums. That’s something I can’t really wrap my mind around quite yet.

“The biggest venue that I played was in the Philippines, and I think it was like 55,000 people, which isn’t even a stadium. It’s a little smaller than a stadium. And it felt so different.

“So I’m not quite sure yet, but I really enjoyed playing arenas this time. It felt intimate enough where I could see people, but there’s so much energy because there’s so many people in the room.

“But I’m not opposed to anything! I’m excited for it all.”
