Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS (official live performances) | Vevo
(Olivia Rodrigo) Dec. 22, 2023: Only superlatives come to mind when trying to sum up Olivia Rodrigo’s last few years. Her impactful debut ballad "drivers license" goes hand in hand with words such as “most” and “best”: most streams on Spotify in a single day and week, Top 100 most-streamed songs on the platform, the Best Pop Solo Performance award at that year’s GRAMMYs. That the teen sensation could follow the “drivers license” craze with “good 4 u,” “deja vu,” and ultimately her debut album SOUR -- all now equally beloved -- was the first sign that the pop world had a rarified capital S Superstar on its hands. We can forget about the dreaded sophomore slump, too. #OliviaRodrigo#GUTS#Vevo

Follow me. We're going to fight the power.
Thanks in part to her trusty producer sidekick Dan Nigro, GUTS elevates all the ingredients that really popped in SOUR, the 90s slacker rock guitar arrangements and riffs, the theater-kid earnestness, the talkative asides. There’s one key thematic difference. “Lots of the new songs are about growing up rather than breakups,” Rodrigo proudly stated recently. When Vevo linked up with her at LA's Million Dollar Theater, not only had her wattage grown brighter, her command of the stage and camera were somehow even stronger than before. Speaking of growing up, "pretty isn't pretty" takes aim the not-so-nice social pressures one faces as the spotlight grows brighter, especially females. It's another gut punch delivered on a platter of angsty pop-rock perfection.
