Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour
What's the Story?
OLIVIA RODRIGO: GUTS WORLD TOUR was filmed over the two nights the singer performed at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles in August 2024 during her 2024-25 world tour. The concert features songs from Rodrigo's Guts and Sour albums.
Is It Any Good?
The Netflix special Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour feels like both concert and catharsis. The camera zooms in on the singer's young, female fans weeping, shouting, and clutching their besties during a full playlist of songs about breakups and falling in love. Rodrigo plays to the crowd with knowing looks, sweet waves, angsty moves, and a dreamy sequence where she floats above the arena on a glowing crescent moon.
The camera offers some other interesting angles during the concert, transmitting above- and below-stage footage of the singer and her flowing, all-female dance troupe to a wide screen behind the performers. It's a testament to Rodrigo's catchy recent oeuvre that this filmed concert doesn't get too boring. It also provides a small peek into a sector of society and its concerns, as conveyed through pop culture.
