PEOPLE Celebrates Olivia Rodrigo’s Rise to Stardom in New Special Edition

It’s time to step into the world of Olivia Rodrigo.

PEOPLE has dedicated a special issue to the 21-year-old’s rise to stardom, officially available to purchase at newsstands and Amazon now.

Get ready to take a walk down memory lane with a look at all of Rodrigo’s interviews with PEOPLE, which chronicle her early days on Disney to her success as a music megastar touring the world on her own headlining tour.

In addition to offering personal photos, a look inside her ongoing tour, and an A to Z guide on all things Rodrigo, the issue also offers a music and reading list curated by the singer.

The issue comes three months after Rodrigo released the deluxe version of her hit 2023 album, titled GUTS (spilled).

Of the original sophomore project that followed her chart-topping debut album Sour, Rodrigo told PEOPLE that she definitely was feeling the pressure.

“For the first few months of writing Guts, I was dealing with a lot of noise in my head about whether it was going to be good enough or whether I could ever top what I did on Sour,” she told PEOPLE in a September 2023 conversation included in the new issue.

“It definitely adds a lot of pressure. But I had to switch my mindset into just trying to write songs that I would like to hear on the radio and not trying to beat anything or achieve any sort of commercial success,” she added. “Then it became a lot more fun, and the music became a lot better.”

 The Guts World Tour kicked off in February and is expected to run till October, following performances in China, Singapore, Japan and Australia.
