deadline.com:

Olivia Rodrigo spent the majority of the year touring for her sophomore album, GUTS, putting on over 100 performances in 22 countries, grossing more than $186M.

And now, whether they made it to a stop on her tour or not, fans get the chance to see the show from the best seat in the house for her via her Netflix concert film, Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS World Tour, which launched on the streamer Tuesday.

Filmed during her two nights at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, the film gets up close and personal with Rodrigo on stage as she performs all the angsty hits from her sophomore album, like “all-american b*tch” and “get him back!” as well as some of the most impassioned anthems from her debut album Sour, including, of course, “drivers license” and “deja vu.” “I met a lot of people just walking around various cities who said, ‘Oh, I really wanted to get tickets, but it didn’t work out.’ So I feel like this show is going to be so much fun for them,” Rodrigo told Deadline ahead of the film’s premiere. “I’m really proud of it.” In the interview below, Rodrigo spoke with Deadline about creating the GUTS World Tour, reuniting with Chappell Roan, writing music on the road, and more. DEADLINE: What was it like for you to get to watch your show from an outside perspective for the first time? OLIVIA RODRIGO: It was so weird, because I know this show so well.

I’ve literally lived with it for a year. It’s been all I’ve thought about for so long. But, I’ve never gotten to be an audience member and get to witness it from from a seat.
