Olivia Rodrigo, queen of heartbreak anthems and emotional sing-alongs, is ready for a post-tour glow-down. After serenading 1.4 million fans and making $184.6 million on her GUTS World Tour (yes, you read that right—money moves!), the 21-year-old pop star has a master plan for her life once the final note is sung: extreme couch potato-ing.
At Billboard’s 2024 Live Music Summit in Los Angeles on Thursday night (November 14), where Olivia snagged the Touring Artist of the Year Award like the boss she is, she spilled the tea on her post-tour goals. And honestly? Relatable queen.
“I’m so excited to just rot on the couch and eat so much food,” Olivia told Billboard, proving that even pop stars dream of Netflix binges and endless snacks. Same, girl. Same.
The Tour Isn’t Over Yet
Before Olivia can fully commit to her couch-rotting dreams, she’s got to conquer South America and Europe. The GUTS World Tour wraps on July 1, 2025, in England, giving her just a few more months to jump around on stage, rack up some frequent flyer miles, and add even more zeros to her bank account.
Ice, Ice, Baby (But Make It Feet)
When it comes to post-show rituals, Olivia keeps it, well, chilly. “I jump around a lot, like my calves get sore,” she shared. (Apparently, singing and hopping like a caffeinated bunny takes a toll.) Her backstage routine? Icing her feet like a pro athlete, followed by a shower, makeup removal, and a glamorous retreat… to her hotel room.
“It’s really not that exciting,” Olivia confessed, proving once again that stars—they’re just like us. “It’s a weird shift going from being in front of thousands of people to being alone in your hotel room.” Sounds like a plot twist Shonda Rhimes would write.
Netflix and Critique
In case you missed it, Olivia dropped her tour documentary, Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, on Netflix. But instead of kicking back and enjoying her work, Olivia went full self-critique mode while watching it. “I was trying not to be too critical the whole time,” she said, adding, “I’m just like, ‘Be nice to yourself.’” Honestly, this is the self-love pep talk we all need in our lives.
She even surprised herself a little. “I was working out so much on tour, and I watched things back, I was like, ‘Yeah, I got muscles in my arms for the first time in my life.’” Imagine becoming a pop star and unlocking bonus biceps—truly living the dream.
What’s Next?
After the final bow, Olivia’s priorities are clear: snacks, naps, and maybe some time to flex those new arm muscles. As for us, we’ll be here, waiting for her next album and possibly joining her in the universal art of couch rotting. Take your time, Liv. You’ve earned it.
