Olivia Rodrigo embarked on the Guts World Tour in support of her album of the same name
Olivia Rodrigo dropped her second studio album, Guts, in September 2023. It featured a mix of pop-rock and alternative-style songs and ballads. The project was supported by three singles: Vampire, Bad Idea Right?, and Get Him Back!.
The album was met with critical and commercial acclaim, debuting atop the Billboard 200 chart. All 12 tracks from the project charted in the top 40 on the Hot 100 list (simultaneously). Additionally, it won the singer a People's Choice Award, an iHeartRadio Music Award, and three Webby Awards.
Olivia Rodrigo embarked on the Guts World Tour in February to support the project. The tour will run through July 1, 2025. Throughout the tour, Rodrigo has donated to various charities and causes she supports.
During its opening night in Palm Desert, the singer launched Fund 4 Good, a campaign where part of her ticket sales would be donated. The fund would support non-profits that advocate for education for girls, reproductive rights, and those that prevent gender-based violence.
Per an October 2024 article by Teen Vogue, during Rodrigo's concert at the Philippine Arena in Manila, she donated all profits from her show to Jhpiego. Talking to Billboard about the move, Olivia Rodrigo explained:
"This is such a special milestone for me to not only be visiting the Philippines for the first time but performing here for my fans. I’m so proud of my Filipino heritage, so being able to bring this experience to the Philippines means the world to me."
Rodrigo recently had her Netflix concert film, Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, in October 2024. It is available to stream on the platform.
The singer is currently on a break from the tour and is scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza, Argentina, in March 2025 next.
