The most recent concert I've been to in our last concert for this episode is the Olivia Rodrigo concert. It was so good. She had an opener. Her name is Gracie Abrams, who is fun fact the daughter of JJ Abrams, who is the director for the new Star Wars movies.

Actually, I don't know if he did all of them, but I know he did The Force Awakens, which is incredible. So yeah, that's really cool. Nefatism, baby. But yeah, Gracie is so pretty and she's so cool.

I love her songs. My favorite song by hers is called This Is What It Feels Like. I love that song. I think it's so cinematic and it could just be in a movie or something during a montage or whatever.

But yeah, Gracie was great. She's watching her. Olivia performed. Obviously she performed it was her concert, but she started off the concert with a really cool teasing intro to brutal.

Well brutal is the first song she sang, but the intro to it was really cool. So I'll play that. Yeah, it was so cool. She had a sort of so, Gracie performed it in front of a purple curtain.

There was a small part of the stage that wasn't covered by the curtain. And then once she left, there was a projector that projected sour tour. And then during, and it would just stay like that, and it was projecting on the purple curtain. And then once the little beat drops were happening, the lights of sour tour would flicker.

Like all the lights in the venue would flicker, and it was really cool. And then the last part at the very end, or not the very end, but the very end of the intro, the curtain opened. And that's why everyone was yelling really badly. But it was so cool.

My favorite part of this song is when they say, and I can't even play a little park, because the whole crowd just like screamed it. So I'm gonna play a clip. Yeah, it was a really cool song to hear. It was really like, punky and angsty and stuff.

It was really cool. She also sang her most popular song, like on the charts, Driver's License. It was so cool, because she did like a rockier version, I guess. Like, there was more instruments added, I think.

But it's kind of really cool. So he has a clip of that. It was so cool to hear live. It was so, so, so, so, so cool.

I love how she made like the bridge a little bit more rocky, edgy. And then she made the outro nice and pretty. It was so cool. Yes, and then Miss Olivia Rodrigo covered, complicated by Avril Lavigne, and it was so good.

I hadn't heard that song in such a long time. And I'm so glad she sang it, because of one, I missed it. Two, it was so good. She did such a good cover.

It was so cool. So she sang Driver's License first, and she sang Driver's License added piano. And then when she sang complicated, she was still at the piano. And then she stood on the piano during the song.

And I thought that was so cool. And during the concert, I was like, thinking in my head, I was like, that would be so fun. She just had a concert and stayed on a piano. Like, that would be so fun.

But yeah, enough of me talking. Here is complicated, covered by Olivia Rodrigo Rodrigo. I like you. Yeah, it was so good.

Her voice sounds so good singing that song. I think it's a good choice on her part. But she also sang Deja Vu, and I absolutely loved the way she intro this song, so I'm going to play it. Before we go, I just have one question for you guys.

Seattle, do you guys ever get Deja Vu? I thought that was so cheesy and clever. I was so proud of her for doing that. I thought that it just makes me laugh.

I think it's really fun. I think it's really funny. I also love the part in the song where she talks about Billie Joel, because they changed the beat of it. Like, from the recording to the live performance, the beat during the Billie Joel line is different.

And I love it so much, so I'm going to play it. How that the sheet goes, Billie Joel? I love that part of the song. I think it's so just fun and catchy and stuff.

It was so cool to hear live. The last song she played is called Good for You. And I love it so much. I love the music video for this song as well, but it was just so fun to hear live.

So here's a little bit of Good for You. Yeah, that was such a fun song to hear live. Let me put on a great concert, and I'm very lucky that I got to go, because a lot of people tried to get tickets and didn't, and the tastes were also not cheap, so I'm very lucky and grateful that I got to go.
