Ooh, did Olivia Rodrigo just *hint* at bringing her GUTS tour to the Philippines?
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter for their Awards Chatter podcast, the 20-year-old Filipino-American singer-songwriter discussed her upcoming world tour for her latest album, GUTS. She also talked about how excited she is to be playing in arenas and stadiums for the first time. "I’m so stoked. I think it’s going to be so much fun to play those kinds of rock songs in an arena too. I’m so excited to feel that energy," she shared.
While discussing her upcoming tour, Olivia *hinted* at the possibility of having a Philippine leg for GUTS.
"I’m so excited to go places that I haven’t been before. I’m really excited to go to the Philippines—I’ve never been [there]—so that’s going to be fun," she gushed.
She added: "And I love my band. I have an all-girl band, and they’re so wonderful and such great musicians. It’s going to be fun."
In a previous interview with Rolling Stones, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter mentioned that she'd like to visit the Philippines soon one day. "People there are so welcoming and hospitable and awesome," she shared.
Olivia recently released her sophomore album, GUTS, on September 8, 2023. It included songs like "vampire," "bad idea right?", and "ballad of a homeschooled girl." She also wrote and sang "Can't Catch Me Now" for the The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes film.
She catapulted to global popularity with the release of her single "drivers license," which was one of the songs off her debut album, SOUR.
