Olivia Rodrigo on Her ‘Guts World Tour’ Netflix Film, Why She Foregrounds Women and Rock ‘n’ Roll, and the Sound of ‘Girls Losing Their Minds’ Over Her Chappell Roan Duet

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts Tour opened in Palm Springs last February, Variety wrote, “It’s a rock ‘n’ roll show, by the way — maybe the best rock tour we’ll get all year, even if the season is young.” Now that a concert film is arriving to commemorate the recently wrapped tour, and the chance for reassessment is nigh, there’s no reason to take any of that back. “Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour,” premiering today on Netflix, further cements just how assured the show was as a captivating blast of guitar-driven energy, from a 21-year-old star who has clearly earned her rocker’s license.

On the eve of the film’s release, Rodrigo got on the phone to talk about her feelings about seeing herself on screen, her one ongoing performance insecurity, keeping rock at the forefront (notwithstanding some signature ballads), and bringing so many women on stage with her as musicians and dancers.

One of those women was Chappell Roan, first as an opening act on the tour and then as a duet partner for “Hot to Go,” filmed at L.A.’s Intuit Dome as the tour came to a close.

Rodrigo makes it sound as if there will be a good wait before she comes back to unveil what will surely be another four-letter-word album title.
