Globally famous and Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter Olivia Rodrigo released her incredible sophomore album GUTS on September 8. The album has already skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and has become a worldwide hit.
After starting her career as an actress on the Disney Channel and the Disney+ original series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Rodrigo moved on from her days of acting and pursued music fully instead, releasing her debut album SOUR with 11 tracks in May 2021. The album quickly became a huge hit and even won Grammy awards for Best New Artist, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Pop Vocal Album.
Now in 2023, Olivia Rodrigo has released her second hit album GUTS with singles “vampire” and “bad idea right?” as well as ten other amazing tracks. All twelve tracks debuted in Hot 100’s Top 40 songs and are massively popular. Each track contains passionate, well thought out lyrics and a beat that sticks with the listener, whether it be a catchy punk song or a heartfelt acoustic song. Her conflicting emotions of teenage angst, self-discovery, and rage create a wide range yet it remains all connected as a unit, which is part of what makes this album so special.
Rodrigo told RollingStone Magazine, “Sometimes you just wake up and go into the studio and see what comes out of you. In hindsight, I think that a lot of this album is about the confusion that comes with becoming a young adult and figuring out your place in this world and figuring out who you want to be and who you want to hang out with and all of that stuff.”
Now that her second album has officially been shared with the world, Olivia Rodrigo will be taking the stage on her GUTS Tour in 2024. She will be traveling internationally to several states and countries singing her new album to thousands of fans.
