Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour: A Record-Breaking Journey Through Pop-Rock Excellence
A Historic Achievement in Modern Music
The Guts World Tour has made history as the highest-grossing tour by an act born in the 21st century, with Olivia Rodrigo becoming the youngest female solo artist to gross over $180 million in her debut arena tour.
The ambitious tour, which began on February 23, 2024, in Thousand Palms, United States, and concluded on July 1, 2025, in Manchester, England, spanned five continents and included multiple music festival appearances. The tour featured support from an impressive lineup of artists including Chappell Roan, St. Vincent, Remi Wolf, the Breeders, and others.
Tour Highlights and Innovations
To make each show unique, Rodrigo and her team created city-specific phrases for her final outfit at every tour stop, using a custom screenprinting machine for tank tops, which became a creative outlet and special way to connect with local audiences.
The GUTS Tour revolutionized live performances by emphasizing fan engagement through immersive experiences, digital interactivity, and intimate moments that made each concert feel personalized. The tour also stood out for its focus on sustainability and creative, genre-blending setlists.
Philanthropic Impact and Legacy
Throughout the tour, Rodrigo demonstrated her commitment to social causes by donating over US$2 million to various organizations worldwide. Her Fund 4 Good initiative supported community non-profit organizations advocating for girls’ education, reproductive rights, and prevention of gender-based violence. A portion of ticket sales was allocated to both Fund 4 Good and the National Network of Abortion Funds of North America.
The tour’s success was formally recognized when Rodrigo was awarded Touring Artist of the Year at the 2024 Billboard Live Music Awards, with additional nominations for Major Tour and Pop Tour of the Year at the upcoming 2025 Pollstar Awards. Critics consistently praised Rodrigo’s stage presence, vocals, and the show’s pacing, cementing her position as one of modern pop music’s most compelling live performers.
