Olivia Rodrigo on coming to the Philippines
There have been several hints of the Filipino-American singer-songwriter coming to our shores—not that she's being secretive about it.
In December 2023, she talked to The Hollywood Reporter about her excitement to visit new places for the Guts World Tour.
"I'm so stoked. I think it's going to be so much fun to play those kinds of rock songs in an arena too,” Rodrigo said. "I'm so excited to go places that I haven't been before. I'm really excited to go to the Philippines—I've never been—so that's going to be fun.”
In March 2024, Universal Music Group Philippines posted a short clip of Rodrigo promoting her new single “obsessed,” but not before hyping up her Filipino fans with a promise to see them soon.
“What’s up, Philippines! It’s Olivia. I am so excited to see you soon,” Rodrigo said. “But before that, my new song ‘obsessed,’ is all yours on your favorite streaming platforms. I really hope you enjoy it and I can’t wait to see you soon. Sending so much love your way.”
This world tour is in support of her sophomore album “GUTS,” which was released on September 8, 2023 with singles like “vampire,” “bad idea right?” and “get him back!” Her debut album “SOUR” became a top hit with “drivers license” and “good 4 u,” earning her three Grammys in 2022.
