At her exclusive American Express card members show in L.A., Olivia Rodrigo revealed which GUTS song started out as a college homework assignment.
In anticipation of her forthcoming GUTS world tour, Olivia Rodrigo and creative partner-in-crime Dan Nigro have given us a taste of how the star’s sophomore album sounds live. The duo took to the stage for one night only with An Evening With Olivia Rodrigo in partnership with American Express, giving us all a little peek into the creation of the project — including a small anecdote all students can relate to. During the intimate evening held at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel in L.A.
While walking around Greenwich Village, Nigro entered a bookstore and found a book centered on American singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold’s songwriting process, where the Fleet Foxes frontman shared that “some of his songs started as poems.” The revelation struck a chord with Rodrigo, who had just started uni at USC and had been tasked with flexing her poetry muscles.
