Olivia Rodrigo Makes MSG Debut: 8 Best Moments From Her First NYC Guts Tour Show

Olivia Rodrigo made her Madison Square Garden debut with her Guts World Tour. Including a Noah Kahan surprise duet, here were the 8 best moments.

More than 14,000 of them showed up in purple-hued, sequined droves to watch Rodrigo make her debut at one of the country’s biggest career milestone-marking venues Friday night (April 5), something that’s been a long time coming for the star since she found near-instant global success with Sour in 2021. Even so, the reigning princess of pop took the stage looking with genuine amazement as her crowd jumped, danced and screamed along to her opening number — “Bad Idea Right?” — making the entire arena pulse, this time without any help from shifting tectonic plates. While flying high over the heads of the crowd on her floating crescent moon set piece, on which she sings the Guts and Sour sister ballads “Logical” and “Enough for You,” the musician quipped, “All I’m thinking is I’m glad the earthquake didn’t happen when I was on this thing.”
