Olivia Added This Special Song To Her GUTS Tour Set List
This one's for Louis!
Olivia Rodrigo isn’t just an “All-American B*tch” anymore — she’s going international. On her GUTS World Tour, the pop star is bringing her entire discography to life, performing nearly the entirety of her albums SOUR and GUTS live. And there’s also some newly released bonus tracks that made have made their way onto the set list.
The GUTS World Tour kicked off on Feb. 23 at Thousand Palms in California, and it will continue all throughout the spring and summer until it ends on Aug. 17 in Inglewood, CA. In that time, Rodrigo will tour the U.S. and Canada, along with headlining international dates across Europe and the U.K.
Fans hotly anticipated the opening night of the tour to see what songs would make the cut, and it turns out, pretty much every Rodrigo song was featured in the lineup. Although the set list has already had some changes, and could very well change again over the course of the six-month run, so far, only two of Rodrigo’s releases are excluded from the concert: “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back,” and “Hope Ur Ok” from SOUR.
While those two songs may be missing, the set list does include some extra treats. Rodrigo performs her GUTS hidden track “Obsessed” on the tour. That song was only available on special limited-edition GUTS vinyls when the tour began, but is not available on the deluxe edition of the album.
Rodrigo also teased that the set list could grow and change as the tour continues. On her March 6 show in Miami, Rodrigo began adding her Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes single “Can’t Catch Me Now” to her set list. Watch the song’s first live performance here.
At her Dublin show on April 30, Rodrigo added another new song to her set list. After “Lacy” in the middle of the set list, Rodrigo performed her GUTS bonus track “So American,” and noticeably changed one of the lyrics. Instead of singing “Think I’m in love” in the song’s bridge, Rodrigo sang “‘Cause I’m in love.” Her boyfriend Louis Partridge, who the song is believed to be about, was in the audience for the performance.
Oh, and there’s another surprise for fans as well. Concertgoers noticed that Rodrigo has been changing a key lyric when performing “Brutal.” Instead of singing, “I only have two real friends” in the single’s second verse, Rodrigo has been singing, “I only have three real friends” while on tour. Fans think the updated friend list is a shoutout to her besties Conan Gray, Iris Apatow, and Madison Hu — the three people she cited as her best friends during her 2022 Grammys acceptance speech.

On shows where Rodrigo performs “Can’t Catch Me Now,” the ballad appears right after “Jealousy, Jealousy.”
But the song selection is only part of the spectacle. The show also consists of some awe-inspiring staging moments, like when Rodrigo sits on a giant purple crescent moon to sing “Logical” and “Enough for You,” while floating above the crowd.
The concert’s bombastic final two songs serve as encore performances, as Rodrigo bursts back onto stage with a megaphone to belt “Good 4 U,” and then closes the show with a blast of confetti at the end of “Get Him Back!”
