Full Title: “Olivia Rodrigo Turned Her USC Homework Assignment Into a GUTS Song (via Teen Vogue)”
Olivia Rodrigo will embark on her highly-anticipated GUTS World Tour in only a couple of months, and the popstar has been busy promoting the tour with tons of performances. Within the last two weeks, not only has she performed on Saturday Night Live, but she’s also taken the stage at iHeartMedia’s Jingle Ball Tour and rocked a new Tiny Desk concert with NPR.
Rodrigo’s latest Tiny Desk performance, released on Monday, December 11, featured the acoustic performances of the GUTS tracks “Love Is Embarrassing,” “Vampire,” “Making the Bed,” and “Lacy.” Rodrigo shared behind-the-scenes stories about her writing process for each song, and revisited a small “Lacy” anecdote that other students could relate to.
“I took a poetry class last year at USC, and I wrote this poem as one of my homework assignments that I really loved,” Rodrigo shared. “It was the first time I’d ever written a song by taking a full sheet of lyrics and putting a melody to it, and it turned out to be one of my favorite songs on the record.”
