Filipino-American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo hailed the Manila stop of her Guts World Tour as the “most special show” she’s had.
This comes after her successful one-night concert joined by thousands of Filipino fans at the Philippine Arena on Saturday, October 5.
The show has committed to support Jhpiego Philippines, a nonprofit organization aiming to enhance the health and well-being of women and girls in the country. All tickets from the concert in Bulacan were considered Silver Star Tickets.
“I got to visit the organization while I was in Manila and was so impressed by the work they are doing providing healthcare to women and girls in the Philippines,” Olivia shares on Instagram.
Rodrigo also made history as the youngest solo artist to perform a sold-out show at the Philippine Arena, the largest indoor arena in the world, which seats 55,000 people.
It was her first time in the Philippines.
“Been dreaming of this show for a whileeeee. My first time in the Philippines and also my biggest venue ever!!!!”, she wrote.
While introducing her song “so american,” the three-time Grammy winner got a very special sash from a fan which says “Miss So Filipina”, which she proudly wore.
The 21-year-old artist wowed the crowd with hits such as “vampire”, “driver’s license”, “traitor”, “happier”, “teenage dream”, and “good 4 u”, and “get him back”, all from her Sour and Guts albums.
Meanwhile, Olivia ended the concert by flaunting a “Pinoy Pride” shirt.
“It was the most special show and the most meaningful trip. to say I’m grateful doesn’t even cut it! Mahal kita,” Rodrigo added on her post.
The Guts World Tour kicked off on February 23, 2024 to promote her second studio album Guts. The tour will cover North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and South America.
Olivia’s father is Filipino and her mother is American-Irish.
