Olivia Rodrigo officially said goodbye to her GUTS era on Thursday night (October 23), performing one last time in an intimate New York City concert presented by American Express. The special event, held exclusively for Platinum Card Members, doubled as a charity benefit for Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good, which supports women’s and girls’ rights, reproductive freedom, and education.
“This is definitely going to be the last GUTS show,” Rodrigo told the audience — marking the end of a monumental chapter in her career. The performance brought fans full circle, celebrating the album that defined the past two years of her life.

The setlist featured a powerful mix of fan favorites from GUTS alongside beloved songs from her debut, SOUR. Olivia opened the night with the fiery “bad idea right?” and “ballad of a homeschooled girl,” before diving into emotional performances of “vampire” and “lacy.” She slowed things down with “drivers license” and “traitor,” giving the intimate crowd a rare chance to hear her raw vocals in a smaller venue.
