Olivia Rodrigo stopped by The Tonight Show to chat about her new concert special and host Jimmy Fallon took the opportunity to challenge the singer to a game called “What’s Behind You?”
In the clip, Rodrigo and Fallon took turns facing away from a curtain-covered stage. Once their back was to the stage, the other had to read clues for them to guess what was happening behind them. First, Rodrigo had to guess as Fallon described “three mobsters doing yoga at Barnes and Noble.” Rodrigo, who admitted “I want to look so bad,” answered correctly.
Other answers included “two werewolves swing dancing at Niagara Falls” and “the Backstreet Boys getting their driver’s license photos taken by Grimace.”
Rodrigo also sat down with Fallon to discuss her concert film, Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour, which debuted on Netflix this week, falling into a hole in the stage, and her friendship with Chappell Roan. “I’ve known her for so many years,” she said of Roan, who is in the concert film. “We have the same producer, and so I’ve known her for a while. And if you listen really closely to some of my songs, on Sour and on Guts, she’s singing in the back.”
Rodrigo spoke to Rolling Stone about leaving Guts, her most recent LP, behind after an extensive world tour.
“It was my first arena tour and I got to go to so many fun places that I’ve always dreamed of going, like in Asia and Europe,” Rodrigo reflected on the experience. “I just feel like I got to see so much of the world and got to get cultured a lot. So that was so much fun. But being on stage night after night for months on end is really taxing on the body and on your mind. You can start to go a little crazy if you don’t make a real effort to keep yourself grounded and talk to people and call your therapist and make sure that you’re taking care of your mental health. So, there were certainly some days that were harder than others in that respect, but I’m happy that I did it. I feel like I’m so much stronger an individual because of this experience. I’m just grateful for the whole thing.”
She added, “I think it’s the end of the Guts era! I love this era so much. It was so much fun to get to create and share with the fans. I’m so grateful that fans have embraced Guts in the way that they have. I felt so much pressure after Sour to make something that could follow it up, and that was a really daunting task. I’m proud of the album, and I’m really proud of the musical elements that we explored and so proud of it lyrically. The fact that people have embraced it the way that they have just means so much to me, and I’m really excited for a break and for what’s to come.”
