Olivia Rodrigo Joins Weezer Onstage At Lollapalooza

Olivia Rodrigo concluded her Guts era tour with a symbolic finale at the Osheaga Festival, where she hinted at her third album by wearing a shirt with the number 3 and gifting her Guts rings to fans. Throughout her recent festival performances, Rodrigo has embraced a rockier sound, incorporating more guitar solos and altering her setlist. A highlight was her Lollapalooza headline set in Chicago, where she invited Weezer—the first band she ever saw live—to join her on stage and perform classics like "Buddy Holly" and "Say It Ain't So." Rodrigo reflected on the significance of first concerts, sharing a nostalgic photo from her own first show with Weezer, expressing gratitude for the experience and the collaboration. This moment marked a poignant full-circle event and underscored Rodrigo's ongoing influence in bringing guitar-driven rock back to mainstream pop. Her collaborations with musical icons, including Robert Smith and Billy Joel, further emphasize her expanding musical range and reverence for her inspirations.
