Olivia Rodrigo is touring in support of her 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.”
