Olivia Rodrigo is set to light up the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on October 5, and excitement is in the air! This will be her first performance in the Philippines, and for her Filipino fans, known as “Livies,” this concert is more than just a show—it's a celebration of her roots and a long-awaited moment.
The Ticket Frenzy: A Race Against Time
The hype surrounding Olivia's concert has been nothing short of astronomical. When tickets went on sale last month, over 700,000 fans logged on, eager to grab their chance to see her live. As tickets quickly sold out, many fans camped out overnight for a shot at over-the-counter sales, only to be met with disappointment when they went home empty-handed. The energy is electric, but the frustration is palpable for those who missed out. With the concert just hours away, emotions are running high among those who were lucky enough to snag a ticket—and those who weren’t.
Embracing the Sour: A Playlist for Every Feeling
To help fans cope with the rollercoaster of emotions leading up to the concert, here’s a playlist of Olivia Rodrigo songs that perfectly capture the spirit of this moment. Whether you’re feeling excited, frustrated, or a mix of both, these tracks are here to accompany you.
Brutal
“Brutal,” from her debut album “Sour,” is the ultimate anthem for anyone grappling with feelings of insecurity and anxiety. With the lyric “It’s brutal out here,” Olivia speaks directly to the hearts of fans who endured long lines and endless refreshes on ticketing websites. This track channels that raw, angsty energy that defines the teenage experience.
Teenage Dream
In “Teenage Dream,” featured on her latest album “Guts,” Olivia dives into the bittersweet reality of growing up. The melancholic melody reflects the uncertainties of youth—feelings that resonate deeply after the rollercoaster ride of ticket sales. It’s a poignant reminder that, no matter the disappointment, there’s beauty in the journey.

“Enough For You” is a standout track from “Sour” that showcases Olivia's incredible ability to evoke raw emotion. Inspired by a TikTok video, this heart-wrenching ballad touches on themes of longing and self-worth. It’s a perfect companion for anyone reflecting on their own experiences of heartbreak and hope.
