Olivia Rodrigo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Olivia Rodrigo has just wrapped her massive GUTS World Tour with a headline-making double finale that everything fans want in a pop star moment. On August 1, she owned the Lollapalooza main stage for her first headlining slot at Grant Park in Chicago, delivering a set packed with songs from both SOUR and her blockbuster GUTS album. But the real headline came when Rodrigo brought out Weezer for an emotional, viral duet. Performing “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So” with the band that was the first live show she ever saw as a kid, Rodrigo told the crowd, “You always remember your first concert. It's a very, very special moment.” She posted afterward on Instagram, sharing a childhood photo in a Weezer T-shirt, calling it “my first concert and my last weekend of the GUTS tour,” and fans and Weezer both joined in to congratulate her on what many called the ‘definition of a full circle moment.’ Instagram and TikTok exploded with clips of the surreal collab, and Lollapalooza’s official channels also highlighted Rodrigo’s electric performance and star power. Notably, according to the fan account inforodrigo on Instagram, she broke the all-time headlining attendance record for Lollapalooza, cementing her status as a festival force.
Just two days later, Rodrigo closed out her year-plus GUTS World Tour at the Osheaga festival in Montreal. She marked the end of the tour by walking into the crowd and removing her signature silver GUTS rings—yes, the very ones from her album cover—and giving them away to fans. Posting a TikTok video titled “rings off!!!!! that's a wrap on guts tour!!! until next time I love y'all,” she bid farewell to this era as social media lit up with envy and disbelief that fans received such iconic memorabilia. People magazine reported the emotional moment as “the end of an era” and noted fans are already speculating about album three’s lead single, with many echoing Taylor Swift’s “It was the end of an era, but the start of an age.” No official announcement has been made about new music, but the chat is heating up.
Adding to her legend, reports from Guitar World and Lollapalooza media celebrated her as a guitar hero for a new generation, while insiders like her touring guitarist Daisy Spencer revealed to The StageLeft Podcast that Rodrigo paid for mental health resources for her entire crew, highlighting her off-stage thoughtfulness. Across social media, fans, celebrities, and industry insiders have been abuzz, marking this week as a pivotal transition for Rodrigo, closing GUTS on a record-breaking note and fueling enormous hype for whatever comes next. There are no credible reports of controversy or negative news, and the only major speculation in the air is when—rather than if—the OR3 era will officially begin.
