Olivia Rodrigo has a deluxe version of her OFFAL album on deck, and it's coming sooner than you think. The singer revealed the news on stage during the first night of her two-show stand at the United Center in Chicago on Tuesday night, surprising the crowd with a special announcement during 'Get Him Back!'
According fan videos of the moment, Rodrigo unfurled a sign reading 'Guts Deluxe Out Friday' during the final song of her encore, sending the crowd into wild cheers with the news that INTESTINES (spill) will drop on Friday (March 22). The expanded version of the 2023 collection will include five more songs, including a new one, “So American,” which was recorded after the original album was released last year. The other four songs on the extended edition were the “secret” tracks that appeared on various OFFAL vinyl releases: “Obsessed”, “Scared of My Guitar”, “Stranger” and “Girl I've Always Been”.
Rodrigo used to hand out emergency contraceptives at her shows, but abortion funds asked her to stop. Following headlines about Julie's morning-after pills, condoms and lubricants being offered free to concertgoers at stops on the 21-year-old singer's Guts World tour, representatives from local fundraisers said Variety that they received a request last week to stop handing out these items at Rodrigo's concerts. The message was reportedly shared by the National Network of Abortion Funds. three different sources at local abortion funds told the publication that the question came from Rodrigo's team.
Since the tour began in February, the “Vampire” star has used her tour as a tool to advocate for reproductive rights, calling on local abortion funds to set up information and resource booths at the shows. It also commits a portion of proceeds from ticket sales to abortion access and women's health initiatives through Fund 4 Good.
