Olivia Rodrigo wrapped up her massively successful Guts World Tour with a surprise show in New York City on Thursday night (Oct. 23), performing for an intimate audience of fans, friends, and celebrities inside the historic Park Avenue Armory.
“Ever since it was in that show, people have been chanting at me at concerts to sing this song if I wasn’t going to sing it,” Rodrigo told the crowd. “I’m so grateful to that show and to you guys for listening to it and streaming it, because it’s always
been one of my favorites.”
The Good 4 U singer also welcomed young fans from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, meeting with several attendees before the concert. Proceeds from ticket sales supported Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good, an initiative that promotes education, reproductive rights, and young women’s leadership programs.
Among the celebrity guests in attendance were Emily in Paris star Ashley Park, The Bear’s Molly Gordon, Vampire Diaries alum Nina Dobrev, makeup artist Patrick Ta, Good American founder Emma Grede, and interior designer Jeremiah Brent.
Performing under the soaring arches of the Armory’s Drill Hall — a landmark that once housed the Seventh Regiment of the National Guard, the first volunteer militia to answer Abraham Lincoln’s call in 1861 — Rodrigo delivered a memorable
closing night.
The secret concert marked the final stop of her tour, which began earlier this year in Palm Springs and included over 75 dates across North America and Europe. The setlist featured fan favorites like “Drivers License,” “Vampire,” “Deja Vu,” and “Sour,” along with a rare live rendition of “Lacy,” a song that gained viral popularity after being featured on The Summer I Turned Pretty.
