Launched on February 23, 2024, at Acrisure Arena in Thousand Palms, California, the GUTS World Tour spanned 102 shows across five continents and concluded last week after a final stretch of festival performances.
With opening acts including Chappell Roan, The Breeders, PinkPantheress, Remi Wolf, Benee, beabadoobee, and St. Vincent, the tour showcased a diverse range of voices and styles, enhancing the live experience. Commercially, it was a blockbuster, drawing roughly 1.5 million fans and grossing over $196.7 million from 97 reported shows—making it the highest-grossing tour by an artist born in the 21st century.
Olivia capped off the GUTS era with a memorable headline set at Osheaga Festival in Montreal on August 3. The 90-minute performance was a perfect blend of high-energy anthems and emotional ballads, opening with “Obsessed” and “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl,” and weaving through hits like “vampire,” “drivers license,” and “good 4 u.”
The night’s finale was as symbolic as it was emotional. Olivia’s encore featured a simple red T-shirt emblazoned with the number “3,” fueling fan theories about her next album—potentially the third installment in her pattern of succinct, powerful titles following SOUR and GUTS.
She also shared a touching moment with her audience by distributing the iconic GUTS rings she wore throughout the tour—each engraved with a letter from the album’s title.
