After Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and SZA are the two most talked about singers and music artists in the world right now. The two both came off as most nominated artists on the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV European Music Awards - they're also frontrunners for the upcoming 2024 Grammy Awards and headliners for the upcoming 2023 iHeart Radio Jingle Bell Ball.
Rodrigo, who is about to start her "Guts" World Tour in 2024, is hosting a surprise show in Los Angeles on Oct. 9, 2023. SZA, on the other hand, is planning to have an intimate show in the United States, once the upcoming deluxe version of "SOS" is released.
Olivia Rodrigo Los Angeles Show 2023
According to Rolling Stone, Olivia Rodrigo, in collaboration with American Express, is set to host an intimate concert in Los Angeles on Oct. 9, 2023, exclusively for the bank's cardholders.
Held tomorrow at the Theatre at the Ace Hotel in Downtown, Los Angeles, Tickets for the show are only priced at $25. The surprise show is actually for a good cause as all proceeds will be funneled to Fund 4 Good, a non-profit initiative of the Grammy-winning singer that advocates for female-focused causes including women's education and reproductive rights.
The Theatre at the Ace Hotel boasts only 1600 seats, making the whole concert show a very intimate one, compared to her theatre and stadium tours this coming January. The publication also noted that this might be the only chance that Rodrigo would perform ahead of her upcoming world tour and Jingle Bell Ball in December 2023.
"I've been excited by the response to GUTS and I can't wait to perform live for my fans," the "Get Him Back" singer said in a performance. "Partnering with American Express for my GUTS world tour, the GUTS Gallery pop-up experiences, and now this intimate performance for my fans means so much."
Although the concert is available only exclusively to American Express cardholders, Livvies can stream the concert worldwide on her YouTube channel the day after, Oct. 10, 2023, which will also include behind-the-scenes footage and the backstories of each song.
