Olivia Rodrigo's 'Guts Tour' Closes with Electrifying 'Lacy' Performance in NYC

Olivia Rodrigo concluded her highly successful Guts World Tour with a special, invite-only secret concert in New York City on Thursday, October 23. The intimate event took place at the historic Park Avenue Armory, drawing an exclusive crowd of fans, close friends, and notable celebrity guests. Hosted by American Express, the night was filled with a vibrant setlist featuring many fan favorites, including chart-topping hits such as “Drivers License,” “Vampire,” “Deja Vu,” and “Sour.”

A unique highlight of the performance was a rare live rendition of “Lacy,” a track that gained significant viral traction after its inclusion in the popular TV series, The Summer I Turned Pretty. Rodrigo expressed her gratitude to the show and her audience, noting, “Ever since it was in that show, people have been chanting at me at concerts to sing this song if I wasn’t going to sing it. And so I’m really grateful to that show, and I’m really grateful to you guys for listening to this song and streaming it, because it’s always been one of my favorites.”

Beyond the music, the event also carried a philanthropic purpose. Proceeds from ticket sales were directed towards Rodrigo’s own initiative, Fund 4 Good, which champions causes related to education, reproductive rights, and programs designed to foster young women’s leadership. The singer also took time to meet with young fans from the Make-A-Wish Foundation before the show, adding a personal touch to the evening.

Among the distinguished attendees were a host of celebrities, including Emily in Paris star Ashley Park, Molly Gordon from The Bear, Vampire Diaries alum Nina Dobrev, renowned makeup artist Patrick Ta, Good American founder Emma Grede, and celebrated interior designer Jeremiah Brent. Rodrigo performed under the impressive soaring arches of the Armory’s Drill Hall, a venue rich in New York’s military heritage, once serving as the home of the Seventh Regiment of the National Guard, the first volunteer militia to respond to Abraham Lincoln’s call in 1861.

This secret concert marked the grand finale of Rodrigo’s extensive Guts World Tour, which commenced earlier in the year in Palm Springs and encompassed over 75 dates across both North America and Europe. Olivia Rodrigo has frequently charted on the Billboard Hot 100, notably with her 2021 hit “Drivers License,” which held the No. 1 spot for eight consecutive weeks. She boasts a total of three Hot 100 No. 1s to date and also made headlines for her 2025 Lollapalooza performance, during which she famously brought out Weezer.
