Olivia Rodrigo has officially etched her name into the annals of music history with her GUTS World Tour, which has become the highest-grossing tour by a Gen Z artist, raking in an astonishing $186.6 million. Beginning back in February 2024, the tour has taken Oliver on an electrifying spree of North America and Europe, with a reschedule that will bring her back to North America before wrapping up in July 2025 in Manchester.
Rodrigo’s rise to fame was led by the overnight sensation hit single “Driver’s License” and her debut album Sour, where critics hailed her as the powerhouse. Her second album, Guts, which came in September this year, has chart-toppers like “Vampire” and “Bad Idea Right?,” and is also receiving much appreciation among critics.
The tour itself was made of more than 101 shows, attracting over 1.4 million fans who were buying the tickets rather briskly at an average of $128 each. That put her tour as the 20th highest-grossing worldwide according to Pollstar’s mid-year report.
There are even comparisons to Taylor Swift’s record-blasting Eras Tour, as Rodrigo has blown up since her breakout smash “Driver’s License” and her critically acclaimed debut album, Sour. The GUTS World Tour landed as the 20th highest-grossing worldwide tour, per Pollstar’s mid-year report, further cementing her status as one of pop’s leading ladies.
Beyond the commercial performances, the GUTS World Tour has taken giant leaps in social impact. Olivia wove charity into the fabric of her tour, where proceeds support a number of issues, such as Fund 4 Good-to further girls and women’s education and/or reproductive rights–and National Network of Abortion Funds of North America. Her performance at Bocaue last October 5 was in donation of all profits to Jhpiego Philippines, benefiting underserved areas such as women and girls.
The tour has received critical acclaim, and Rolling Stone’s Tomás Mier even referred to Rodrigo as a generation-defining artist and rockstar. This simply cements her status in pop culture, reinforcing her singular gift for resonating with people around the world. Coming from her first Sour Tour in 2022, which was made up of 49 shows, the GUTS World Tour has expanded on that greatly, with 101 shows across multiple continents due to high demand.
Olivia had said thank you to the tour, sharing on Instagram: “That’s a wrap on the GUTS World Tour! Words can’t describe how lucky I feel to have traveled all around the world playing these songs with the most extraordinary group of people. Sharing these nights with y’all has been such an honor.”
Aside from the live concert, Rodrigo announced there would be a concert movie titled “Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour,” premiering on Netflix. She continued, “For those of you who didn’t get to rock out in-person, now you can have the best seats in the house! And to the fans that cheered, screamed, and danced with me, I am so glad we get to do it all over again!”
The supporting artists that accompanied the GUTS World Tour have been just as thrilling: Chappell Roan, The Breeders, Remi Wolf, PinkPantheress, and Benee. Each artist brought her flair to the stage, matching vibrancy with vibrancy along the tour. One of the most memorable moments came during a show in Melbourne while Olivia humorously recovered from falling over, showing just how resilient she was for her fans.
Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS World Tour is set to continue with a few festival performances in Latin America next spring. Additionally, she has rescheduled shows in Manchester, England, for June 30 and July 1, 2025.
Hers is a long list of achievements: three Grammy Awards, a spate of MTV VMAs, and records on Billboard’s Hot 100, attesting to cross-generational impact. Former Disney actress Rodrigo would seem to have segued with effortless ease from screen to stage, revealing not only versatility but modern icon status.
While Olivia Rodrigo stays in the headline spotlight with her powerhouse performances and round-their-honest messages, the GUTS World Tour represents one of her biggest statements to date-a monumental achievement that is as much about financial success as cultural impact and a commitment to social causes.
As this tour gets ready to continue its journey around the world, fans are left anxiously waiting for the next chapter in Olivia’s remarkable career.
