Olivia Rodrigo recently marked a significant career milestone as she kicked off her performance in Mexico, playing the largest solo concert of her career to date. The event took place at the Estadio GNP Seguros, where she captivated a sold-out crowd of 65,000 fans, as reported by promoter OCESA.

Emotional Performance and Record Attendance

During her first of two nights at the renowned venue, Rodrigo expressed her disbelief and gratitude, stating, “Do you guys know that this is the biggest show that I’ve ever played in my f—ing life?! I literally… My eyes can’t believe it. Oh my God! Thank you guys so much for being here.” Her emotional connection with the audience was palpable as she acknowledged the significance of the moment.

Comparison to Previous Performances

Rodrigo’s show surpassed her previous record attendance of over 50,000 at a concert in the Philippines last October, highlighting her growing popularity. This performance forms part of the Latin American leg of her Guts World Tour, which included her first stadium concerts in both Brazil and Mexico.

Taco Tasting and Cultural Experiences

While in Mexico City, Rodrigo shared her excitement for the city, mentioning her culinary and cultural experiences, including trying traditional tacos, visiting the Museo Casa Azul dedicated to the artist Frida Kahlo, and attending a lucha libre wrestling match. Such interactions emphasize her appreciation for the local culture during her visit.

Setlist and Audience Reception

Even though the production for these shows was different from her previous performances in other regions—lacking the massive catwalk and giant moon—Rodrigo’s fans, predominantly young girls, welcomed her warmly. The setlist featured popular tracks like “Obsessed,” “Vampire,” “Love Is Embarrassing,” “Lacy,” “So American,” and the hit song “Good 4 U,” much to the delight of the audience.

Opening Act

Supporting Rodrigo on stage was St. Vincent, an indie rock artist from Texas, who performed her latest album, Todos Nacen Gritando, marking her return to Mexico City after participating in the Corona Capital festival. St. Vincent has made waves in the industry with her music, and her performance added depth to the concert experience.

Upcoming Performances

Following her highly anticipated shows in Mexico City, Rodrigo is set to perform her second concert at the Estadio GNP Seguros before heading to Monterrey, where she will join the lineup at the Tecate Pa’l Norte festival over the weekend.
