Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS World Tour came to the TD Garden on the first of April, providing fans with an electrifying performance and many unforgettable moments. 

GUTS is Rodrigo’s second world tour, as she first debuted live vocals for her Sour album in 2022. As for the GUTS tour, she released the album in September, 2023 after teasing the song vampire on her social media platforms and having it immediately rise to popularity. 

Her first show, in Palm Springs, Florida on February 23, started a trend of sold out shows. The high demand for tickets mixed with low availability led to securing a seat at one of her coveted shows being nearly impossible for many of her fans. 

Rodrigo kicked off the show by rising from the stage floor and singing "bad idea right?," setting the tone for a breathtaking show. She incorporated the bold choreography that many fans have learned and loved. The crowd also learned a simple part  of choreography from Chappell Roan song "HOT TO GO." 

The setlist included loud pop songs such as "get him back" and "love is embarrassing" and   ballads like "lacy" and "logical." She also sang many fan favorites from Sour. The crowd sang each one at the top of their lungs. 

Rodrigo's performance was nothing short of spectacular, showcasing her incredible vocals and talented songwriting skills. Her interactions with the audience seemed genuine and heartfelt. Between songs, she interacted with fans and shared personal stories and insights on her life. At the end of the show she ran by the barricade reaching out to fans, as she walked by many people reaching for her had gifts and trinkets hoping for Rodrigo to sign or take with her. There were many purple cowboy hats that the fans held out, along with bracelets and hand-written notes that Rodrigo brought with her backstage.

Overall, it was a night to remember for the people in the pit to those in the very back row. Rodrigo's relatability, talent, and authenticity shined throughout the show and solidified her status as a growing star in the music industry.
