Netflix’s Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour concert movie contains 23 songs from her tour setlist. The GUTS World Tour has almost 100 shows and has made almost $200 million, according to Billboard—the highest-grossing tour by any musician born in the twenty-first century. The concert tour covers Rodrigo’s sophomore album, GUTS while featuring some earlier songs from Rodrigo’s debut album, SOUR. The GUTS World Tour is set to end in the summer of 2025, and by that time, the tour will have visited four continents and over 20 countries.
Rodrigo began her career with Disney, starring in Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Olivia Rodrigo left High School Musical: The Musical: The Series during season 3 once her music career blew up. Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour features 23 songs from her two albums, GUTS and SOUR. Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour also features several backup dancers and vocalists, including a surprise guest performance with Chappell Roan. While all 23 songs are masterpieces in their own ways, some of the GUTS World Tour performances are evidently superior to others.
24 Favorite Crime
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Favorite Crime” is the tenth track on Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album, SOUR. While it is a great song with a catchy bridge, the performance in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour is somewhat of a letdown, especially considering the other exceptional performances in the documentary. Rodrigo sings “Favorite Crime” while sitting cross-legged on stage beside one of her guitarists, with no additional choreography or theatrics to enhance the performance. Of course, it is important to balance out dramatic and choreographed concert numbers with simple ones, but “Favorite Crime” is the second song in a row Rodrigo performs similarly.
Therefore, “Favorite Crime” feels like a repeat of the previous song Rodrigo had just performed. The song just has so much potential—additional interactions with the audience, lighting effects, or even a visual backdrop could have improved this number. Furthermore, Olivia Rodrigo has performed “Favorite Crime” on multiple occasions—it is even a musical performance featured in her first documentary, Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U (A Sour Film). So, it is natural to expect more this time around. Regardless, “Favorite Crime” is still an excellent song, and Rodrigo’s vocals are on point, as always.
23 Happier
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Happier” is another song from Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album SOUR, and she performs it right before “Favorite Crime.” Since it is the first performance that Rodrigo performs sitting cross-legged beside her guitarist, it is not repetitive. Furthermore, Rodrigo provides an anecdote about how she wrote the song before singing. “Happier” has a bittersweet theme, which makes it ideal to perform with minimal theatrics and choreography. However, there are better performances in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, even though “Happier” is still a great song.
22 Teenage Dream
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
“Teenage Dream” is the final track of Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore album, GUTS. Rodrigo plays the piano while singing “Teenage Dream,” the second song of the concert she utilizes the piano for. There is also a montage in the background of footage from Olivia Rodrigo’s childhood. While Rodrigo passionately sings this vulnerable song, the performance itself is slightly disappointing because it is the second song in a row she plays on the piano, with no significant changes other than the footage of her childhood. Furthermore, it follows “Driver’s License,” a passionate performance on the piano with perfectly timed lighting.
The performance of “Teenage Dream” in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour acts more like the studio recording on the original GUTS album rather than a live performance in concert. The song would be better if the two piano performances were spaced out in the film rather than appearing one after the other. The lighting effects during “Teenage Dream” are also minimal and not very noticeable, making the performance feel like it could have been more than it is. However, “Teenage Dream” is still an excellent song and definitely one of the best tracks in GUTS.
21 The Grudge
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
“The Grudge” is the tenth track in the original GUTS album. Olivia Rodrigo performs the song toward the end of the concert, between “Deja Vu” and “Brutal.” “The Grudge” is one of the best songs on GUTS, possibly the best overall. However, the performance does not quite portray the masterpiece this song is. Rodrigo’s vocals are flawless, and she delivers a mesmerizing performance. However, sandwiched between two lively performances, Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour portrays “The Grudge” as a filler song rather than one of Rodrigo’s best.
20 Vampire
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
“Vampire” is the lead single on Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS album, a song that begins as a ballad that eventually picks up as a melancholic pop-rock beat. Therefore, it is surprising to see that “Vampire” in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour does not showcase the song’s full potential. Olivia Rodrigo makes up for it with her enthusiasm and passion while performing, along with the red lighting that follows the song’s beat. However, it is just a little disappointing that Olivia Rodrigo did not do more with “Vampire” on the tour.
19 Driver’s License
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Driver’s License” is Olivia Rodrigo’s lead single off her debut album, SOUR. The song broke many records at the time of its release in January 2021, including breaking the Spotify record for most streams for a song in a single week. Rodrigo performs this song on the piano with various light effects in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour. It is a simple choice, but it pays off. Rodrigo’s performance of “Driver’s License” is filled with passion and heart, almost as if it is the first time she is singing the song live.

As the song progresses, Rodrigo gets lost in the music, and the whole number portrays that the song is just as good as it was when it first released. Rodrigo pours her heart and soul into her performance of “Driver’s License,” making the song the best she possibly can for her tour. While “Driver’s License” is a heart-wrenching and passionate performance, there are many more exciting numbers in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, which is why the song is not particularly high on this list.
18 Enough For You
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Enough for You” is another track from SOUR, and easily one of the best on the album. Olivia Rodrigo delivers an excellent performance of the song in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, sitting on a lit-up crescent moon that flies around the arena, accompanied by glowing stars. It is a creative way to connect with audience members with higher seats who might not get the best view when Rodrigo is on stage. Despite the heartfelt performance, it still feels somewhat redundant because Rodrigo just finished another song in the exact same setting.
Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour
is streaming on Netflix, while her first documentary,
Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U (A SOUR Film)
is available to stream on Disney+.
Although the logistics make sense, given that Olivia Rodrigo performs “Enough for You” for the second half of the arena, it still loses a bit of the magic because it follows the first song she performs with the same aesthetics. However, “Enough for You” fits best for this sequence. If Rodrigo performed the song elsewhere, it might not demonstrate the excellence of the track. “Enough for You” is still a clever and creative musical number, and a great song to utilize for this type of performance.
17 Jealousy, Jealousy
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Jealousy, Jealousy” is the ninth track on SOUR, one of the few non-romantic songs of the album. In Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, Rodrigo puts on an electrifying performance with one of her guitarists. She also uses this musical number as an opportunity to greet some of her fans with floor seats. It is an iconic performance that utilizes the best aspects of the song. The only reason why “Jealousy, Jealousy” is not ranked higher is simply because Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour features better performances, but “Jealousy, Jealousy” is not a disappointing musical number.
16 Lacy
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
Lacy, the fourth track on GUTS, is a simple yet mesmerizing performance in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour. It is risky to perform the song live, given its simplicity—the performance can easily become overkill if too much goes on. Thankfully, Olivia Rodrigo utilizes “Lacy” as the song should. Her dancers are part of the musical number, but their role enhances Rodrigo’s performance on a circular platform instead of having a theatrical choreographed performance. The live rendition of “Lacy” is the best song can be, and it is the ideal way to balance out more theatrical musical numbers.
15 Good 4 U
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Good 4 U” is the third single on Olivia Rodrigo’s SOUR, and it is easily one of her most upbeat and fun songs. It is impossible not to sing and dance along as Rodrigo enthusiastically performs the song. “Good 4 U” also has an excellent matching performance; it is evident how comfortable Rodrigo is performing the song on stage. However, “Good 4 U” is also a safe performance—Rodrigo does not add or try anything new with the song. It is not necessarily bad, but there could have been more to expect, given how many times Rodrigo sang the song live.
14 Deja Vu
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Deja Vu” is surprisingly an excellent musical number in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour. The song is the second single and sixth track on SOUR. “Deja Vu” becomes more upbeat toward the end of the song, but for the most part, the song is a slow ballad. However, Olivia Rodrigo inverts “Deja Vu” in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour in the best way possible. The musical number has pink and purple lighting effects with a choreographed dance to match. Rodrigo also uses this song as an opportunity to interact enthusiastically with her audience, making “Deja Vu” even more fun.
The live performance of “Deja Vu” also provided a renewed fondness for this song that might have been overlooked beforehand.
The amount of theatrics Rodrigo adds is a bold decision, given that “Deja Vu” is mostly a slow ballad, but the gamble pays off immensely. “Deja Vu” becomes a great performance in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour and one of the best performances from her debut album of the concert. Rodrigo puts her energy into this fun and magnetic performance, something unexpected for this song. The live performance of “Deja Vu” also provided a renewed fondness for this song that might have been overlooked beforehand.
13 Traitor
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Traitor” is the fourth single on SOUR, a heart-wrenching ballad about a love betrayal. Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album sour. It is also the fourth song she performs in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour. “Traitor” is an excellent song that does not need many theatrics to make it a stunning performance, something that Olivia Rodrigo evidently knows. Blue lighting effects and minimal background dancing in the shadows are the perfect accompaniments that enrich Rodrigo’s performance. “Traitor” is also one of her best vocal performances in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour.
12 Obsessed
Olivia Rodrigo’s Album, GUTS (Spilled)
“Obsessed” is one of the new tracks on Olivia Rodrigo’s new edition of GUTS, GUTS (Spilled). Rodrigo easily loses herself in the performance of “Obsessed,” which works in her favor. She also sings passionately into the camera, a new method of making her live performances even better, especially for a documentary. “Obsessed” also has a visual backdrop with creative effects that fit the song perfectly. However, the best part about Rodrigo’s “Obsessed” performance is her guitar solo toward the end of the song, turning “Obsessed” into something more than just another performance in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour.
11 Brutal
Olivia Rodrigo’s Debut Album, SOUR
“Brutal” is the opening track on SOUR, although it is toward the end of the concert in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour. Olivia Rodrigo debuts her best outfit of the night for “Brutal,” and her performance is upbeat and energetic. The minimal choreography and her guitarists’ more prominent role are the ideal accompaniments for this musical number. Rodrigo and her guitarists simply look as if they are having the best time of their lives, making “Brutal” the best performance from her debut album in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour.
10 So American
Olivia Rodrigo’s Album, GUTS (Spilled)
“So American” is another track from GUTS (Spilled). It is a light-hearted and fun performance, which matches the song well. However, “So American” deserves a top ten spot because it is the first musical number in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour where Rodrigo brings out her guitar to play for the first time. Rodrigo alternates between playing her guitar and revving up the audience, perfectly balancing the song. “So American” is a simple performance, but Rodrigo’s authenticity and exciting behavior makes it one of the best in the film.
9 Making The Bed
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
Olivia Rodrigo’s performance of “Making the Bed” is an excellent example of how an artist should perform a ballad during a concert without making it too simplistic or overdoing it. Rodrigo is actually lying down on a platform for most of the song, but it does not stop her from pouring everything she has into it. Even audience members in the highest seats can hear the emotion Rodrigo gives to this performance. Rodrigo completes “Making the Bed” with additional dark purple contrasting lighting effects and the rising platform she is on.

Furthermore, “Making the Bed” portrays the audience members using their phone flashlights to light up the arena, creating a starry effect that complements Olivia Rodrigo’s performance. It also adds additional beauty and mesmerism, hyperfixating on the song. Other ballads in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour do not produce the same energy that “Making the Bed” does. “The Grudge” could have greatly benefited from a performance like “Making the Bed.” It is one of the best ballad songs in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour.
8 Bad Idea, Right?
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
The opening number of Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour is “Bad Idea, Right?”, which is also the second single on GUTS. It is the perfect song to open the concert with, given the fun lyrics and catchy tune. Rodrigo’s performance of “Bad Idea, Right?” proves that the audience is in for a stellar concert, which can be difficult for artists to convey in one song but easy for Rodrigo. “Bad Idea, Right?” also demonstrates Rodrigo’s versatility with her vocals, stage presence, and musical numbers. It is an exciting opening song that energizes the arena.
7 Pretty Isn’t Pretty
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
“Pretty Isn’t Pretty” is one of the best choreographed numbers in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour. It is not particularly upbeat, and the song does not initially give off the vibe for intricate choreography or fun pink lighting. However, it does not stop Rodrigo and her backup dancers from putting on a performance that accompanies the song. The choreography for “Pretty Isn’t Pretty” does not overpower the song; it simply complements it. Rodrigo proves that she knows her music best and can fit the right choreography to match any of her songs, regardless of the beat.
6 Love Is Embarrassing
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
One of the most entertaining songs in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour is “Love Is Embarrassing.” It is an upbeat track that illustrates Rodrigo’s unlucky-in-love experiences. Rodrigo utilizes the song’s playful tune and clever lyrics to the best of her ability by adding fun choreography and matching facial expressions. “Love Is Embarrassing” is one of the best songs in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour to dance to; there is no downside to this performance. Rodrigo’s enthusiasm shines brightly during “Love Is Embarrassing.” It is also an underrated track from GUTS that the documentary definitely spotlights.
5 Ballad Of A Homeschooled Girl
Olivia Rodrigo’s Sophomore Album, GUTS
“Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” is the second song in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, a follow-up to the opening number, “Bad Idea Right?” She uses this song to further introduce herself, given that the lyrics poke fun at herself and her quirks. Rodrigo portrays these themes during her performance of “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” through her interactive and silly communications with the camera and the audience. The background visuals also highlight her performance. “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” is one of the most amusing songs on GUTS, and Rodrigo gave it a performance that perfectly illustrates that.
