Olivia Rodrigo’s deluxe edition of her sophomore album Guts arrived on Friday (March 22), and we’re obsessed.
The 21-year-old, Grammy-winning star announced the news of Guts (Spilled) during the first night of her two-show stand at the United Center in Chicago on Tuesday night (March 19), surprising the crowd by unfolding a sign that read “Guts Deluxe Out Friday.”
The expanded version of the 2023 collection features five more songs, including a new one, “So American,” which was recorded after the original album dropped last year. The other four songs on the expanded version were the “secret” tracks that appeared on a variety of GUTS vinyl releases: “Obsessed,” “Scared of My Guitar,” “Stranger” and “Girl I’ve Always Been.”
Rodrigo’s Guts, the follow-up to her 2021 debut album Sour, was released in September 2023 and featured her Hot 100 chart-topping lead single, “Vampire.” The album also topped the Billboard 200 albums chart dated September 23, 2023.
“The experience tested my confidence and patience. It taught me some important lessons about songwriting in terms of focusing on your craft rather than just waiting for inspiration to strike,” she told Variety magazine of writing the album. “You can never sit down at the piano and try to write something that everyone will like; that always results in a really bad song. It taught me that I write songs that I want to hear.”
In February, she kicked off her global Guts World Tour, which will find her making stops across North America and Europe for the next five months before she closes out with four shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
