In 2023, the GRAMMY Museum welcomed 3x GRAMMY-awarded artist Olivia Rodrigo to the Museum’s 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for a special evening featuring an intimate conversation celebrating Olivia's critically acclaimed sophomore album, GUTS. Moderated by songwriter and GRAMMY-award nominated producer Linda Perry, the conversation discussed Olivia's career, creative process, and more, with a short performance that followed.

ABOUT OLIVIA RODRIGO:

Hailed by The New York Times as ”a songwriter of rather astonishing purity,” Olivia Rodrigo took up piano at age seven and began crafting her own lyrics at 12. On her record-breaking, culture-defining debut album SOUR, she offered up a wildly resonant account of her very first heartbreak. Featuring her 5x Platinum breakthrough single “drivers license,” SOUR made history as the longest-running debut album on the Billboard 200 top 10 this century, landed at No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Albums of 2021 list, and earned Rodrigo three GRAMMY® awards.

At 20, she released her highly anticipated sophomore album GUTS – a body of work that magnified the raw power of her genre-bending sound while delving deeper into her vast and vivid inner world. “I love how that word can be used in so many ways—‘hate your guts,’ ‘spill your guts,’ ‘guts’ as a synonym for ‘courage,’” she explained. “All those meanings are so different from each other, but I completely resonate with every one of them.”
