Olivia Rodrigo is touring in support of her lauded second album, GUTS.
She said about the album, “For me, this album is about growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life.
“I feel like I grew ten years between the ages of 18 and 20—it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change. I think that’s all just a natural part of growth, and hopefully, the album reflects that.”
