Her highly-anticipated music since the record-breaking SOUR is on its way.
Following the tremendous success of her debut album, SOUR, three-time Grammy Award-winner Olivia Rodrigo is gearing up to release her sophomore effort, titled GUTS. With hit singles like “drivers license,” “good 4 u,” and “traitor,” Rodrigo rapidly evolved from a promising new artist into an undeniable pop sensation.
