Olivia Rodrigo is ready to take a well-deserved break at the end of her Guts World tour in 2025. When asked what she plans to do after the tour — which continues next year in Brazil, Mexico, Ireland and the U.K. Kingdom, said Rodrigo Bulletin boardAssociate Editor Lyndsey Havens: “I'm so excited to just rot on the couch and eat so much food.”
Rodrigo was honored as Touring Artist of the Year at Billboard's 2024 Live Music Summit in Los Angeles on Thursday (November 14) after her Guts World tour earned $184.6 million from more than 1.4 million tickets sold, according to figures that were reported on Billboard Boxscore.
After shows on the tour, Rodrigo says she walks right off stage and freezes her feet, which she joked is “really sexy.”
“I jump a lot, like my calves hurt. Well, yes, that's what I do. Take a shower, take off my makeup and go back to the hotel,” said Rodrigo. “It's not really that exciting. It's a really interesting change from being in front of 1000 people to being alone in your hotel rooms.”
During the tour, Rodrigo said one of her favorite songs to clean up is “All-American Bitch,” which features the young star floating above the audience in a crescent moon.
“There's a part of the song where I get the whole audience screaming and thinking about something you hate or something that really pisses you off, and I let it all come out and scream. I think it's so strong,” Rodrigo said. “It's very cathartic. It feels like a rage room or something. There's something really cool about being able to be in a room with 1000 people and be anonymous and get all your emotions out. I just love that aspect of music.”
Her energy on stage matches that of some of her favorite live artists of all time, including Beyoncé and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
In October, Rodrigo released her tour documentary Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World tour on Netflix, and watching it in cinematic form, the singer said it was hard not to be critical of herself.
“I was trying not to be too judgmental the whole time. I just say “Be good to yourself”. It's really weird because I know this show like the back of my hand. I've done it so many times,” he said. “Watching it I thought, 'Why are you so nervous?' You got it girl. You got it.”
When asked if anything surprised her when she saw herself playing for the first time, Rodrigo said: “I was working so hard on tour and looking back, I was like, 'Yeah, I got muscles in my arms for the first time. in my life”. That was amazing.”
