A Teenage 20-Something Yr Old Listens to *GUTS* for the First Time (and cries) 

when you know that olivia’s dad is a therapist the line « i am my fathers daughter so maybe i could fix him » hits so much more. She’s a genius

If therefore one thing Olivia taught us with SOUR and GUTS, it's that she's got a point, she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment! Now come on now!

the way Sour starts with “where’s my fucking teenage dream” and GUTS ends with Teenage Dream

Is ash…actually reacting to something ON TIME?????? 😱

everyone’s collective gag at the “can’t get you off” line gets me every time

EVERYONE WAKE UP MY COMFORT PERSON IS LISTENING TO MY FAVORITE ARTIST 💜

GUTS captured the messiness of transitioning from a teenager to adulthood so well. For me it’s an album that’s all about wanting to grow up but also deals with the fear and the uncomfortable reality that comes with growing up. I love this album so much and it truly feels like a sister album to SOUR 💜

praying for your mental health bestie, this album was ROUGH for 20 yr old teenage girls

TIMESTAMPS💜: 3:40 - all american b*tch 🇺🇸 8:10 - bad idea right? 🙈 11:34 - vampire 🧛‍♀️ 14:08 - lacy 🪡 16:24 - ballad of a homeschooled girl ✨ 19:07 - making the bed 🛏️ 21:35 - logical 🤍 24:28 - get him back 😝 25:32 - love is embarrassing 😳 26:14 - the grudge 🙁 28:02 - pretty isn’t pretty ☁️ 29:36 - teenage dream 💫

Olivia "And we both drew blood but man those cuts were never equal" Rodrigo and Conan "Feels like we had matching wounds but mines still black and bruised and yours is perfectly fine" Gray on there way to break our hearts

the “i am my father’s daughter so maybe i can fix him” line is even funnier when you know olivia’s dad is a therapist😭😭😭😭

timestamps ♡ [ilysm ash] 3:40 all-american-b**** 8:06 bad idea right? 11:33 vampire 14:08 lacy 16:24 ballad of a home-schooled girl 19:07 making the bed 21:35 logical 24:27 get him back 25:31 love is embarrassing 26:11 the grudge 27:59 pretty isn't pretty 29:35 teenage dream

Ok but imagine if Billie Eillish was featured in Lacy damn the vocals would just transcend people to heaven

When i tell you Olivia Rodrigo snapped with this album! i did not think she would too Sour but she did and Lacy and Making the bed are so excellent!

hearing ''the grudge'' and thinking about your parents instead of a romantic relationship will DESTROY you

nothing has EVER ruined my life the way the teenage dream outro did…i’ve had SEVERAL sobbing breakdowns over it. this album perfectly captured all of the messy, coming of age feelings of being 19 and it hurts but it’s also so good

Lacy makes me think of Heather. Not in the sound or anything, just that it's about that girl that's so perfect, the beauty standard, the one everyone admires. I know some people speculate that it's about Sabrina Carpenter or Gracie Abrams or Madison Beer etc. but I think it's about a type of woman, not one in particular. Or you could go down the path of thinking Olivia is in love with Lacy. I will always approve of the gay storyline lol

fun fact, Oliva said in an interview that Lacy was a poem she wrote in poetry class in college, and she turned it into a song

My 33 year old self wishes this album was out back in my high school years circa 2004-2008. Those ARE the vibes. Incredible album

Olivia played with the 90’s/00’s teen movie soundtrack very well in this album and I needed it as someone who is almost 20

Felt like such a proud older gay punk brother when listening to Guts and seeing Olivia getting into her 90s riot grrrl bag. Personally, this was a really kick ass album, and I can't wait to see where this girl goes further in her music career. 🤟🏽💜🖤 *edit: all american bitch, ballad of a homeschooled girl, and bad idea, right? are my top three. :)

I think that one important thing about Get Him Back (and Olivia's music in general) is that, yeah, she talks about toxic relationships and feelings but the thing is... she's super self-aware, and that makes the whole difference. She makes fun of it, of herself, she lets clear it's wrong and bad but it's just the way she feels (and how MANY feel) and that's something she wants to talk about and tbh it's needed, ppl should know they have the right and aren't terrible for having toxic feelings, since the important part is knowing that they are and what you do with them, but you do have them and Olivia describes it perfectly and turns it into great songs to enjoy (and I say that as someone who never had those feelings, just as Ash said she hasn't either).

when you relate “the grudge” to your daddy issues it truly hits different 😍🙏

the lyric "but i am my father's daughter so maybe i could fix him" is so funny when u realize her dad is a therapist haha

“her and lacy seem to be really good friends” LMFAOOO

Kat from 10 things i hate about you would’ve loved this album istg The Grudge can be a song for so many situations too, a bad parent, a bad friend, a bad partner, etc

GUTS TIMESTAMPS!! 3:22 ALL AMERICAN B 7:36 BAD IDEA RIGHT? 11:01 VAMPIRE 13:49 LACY 16:22 BALLAD OF A HOMESCHOOLED GIRL 18:55 MAKING THE BED 21:32 LOGICAL 24:11 GET HIM BACK! 25:31 LOVE IS EMBARASSING 26:11 THE GRUDGE 27:59 PRETTY ISN'T PRETTY 29:36 TEENAGE DREAM 32:33 THE RANKING

Omg yay mother is reacting to olivia! And I'm happy that adults can relate to her! She's just that real

that one line and i knew you’d appreciate it but “hurt people hurt people and we both drew blood but those cuts were never equal” is one of her best lines ever

As another 20 something year old teenager- I LOVE this album and I LOVE you. You feel just like someone I would love to talk to in person. You just come off so authentic and like a literal ray of sunshine. Keep doing what you’re doing 🩷

omg olivia AND our internet mom continuing to provide for all the teenage girls in their twenties!!!

Queen reviews a Queen

my top 3 songs are 1. lacy the LYRICS, the metaphors, like “aren't you the sweetest thing on this side of HELL?” and then “dear ANGEL Lacy” like i can’t- i truly think she got possessed by an 1800s lesbian ghost when she wrote this song cause she got every.single.thing. down so perfectly. 2. love is embarrassing it’s the chorus for me girl and also i just relate to the lyrics so much. let me tell u, the feeling of giving someone like the benefit of the doubt like ok? maybe this could go somewhere and then that somewhere is the middle of fucking nowhere girl like U FEEL SO STUPID and it’s so embarrassingggg, nobody gets this song like i do 3. ballad of a homeschool girl GIRL I GET U, it’s that CHORUS. it makes me feel like i’m not alone like it makes me feel like screaming my guts out

the grudge absolutely obliterated me. i had never cried over a new song as much as i did that one. its almost universal too. ive heard people using it for different scenarios like an ex partner, ex best friend, parental/family issues, or just anyone who made the person feel less than who they are. i love liv. best believe im crying to that song on tour.

The 20 something teenage girls are truly living with this album!!! the grudge is also my favorite 💜

the thing abt the all American b*tch outro is that the screaming portrays the inner turmoil while the “sweet” singing immediately after portray this need to act like everything’s fine! I’m obsessed:)

I love this album so much. It's giving 90s alternative/grunge and 2000s Pop/Punk. I'm obsessed. As a 40 year old I could relate to this album so much more (logical especially having been in one of THOSE relationships). Ugh it's just all so good!

This album is beautiful but Teenage Dream hit hard from the moment I heard it and hasn't left my mind since. When I turned 19 it was a couple months into the pandemic and I had no idea what my future would look like, what else could change, and how to move forward. It felt like everything had been put to a stop and I was falling behind everything. As my 22nd birthday approaches this really got to me, but it also leaves me a bit hopefully because now I can look back and see so much will change, and that it does still get better. Its such a good song, and the perfect final track.

Ashley has the sweetest heart, the fact that she cried cause she could see through Olivia's pain ;) Ash seems like the big sister we all need and come home to whenever life's tough. Love you so much ash.

i actually have a theory that vampire isn’t abt a person - it’s abt the entertainment industry. especially when you watch the music video and it’s like a romantic/wish fulfilment moment and then the light crashes down on her and it’s like being pulled out of the show and into the behind the scenes, to reality. like “bleeding me dry” - her talent, her love of her art “girls your age know better” i v much see how this sounds like *someone* but she started out in the industry REALLY YOUNG. that was almost definitely taken advantage of in some way. “the way you sold me for parts” - she’s not allowed to be a whole person, she has to be A Brand it’s similar to my thoughts abt all american bitch. not so much that it’s abt her contradictions but how she has to be EVERYTHING (the virgin and the whore yada yada)

Ugh this album is just so fucking good man. It really is a continuation of SOUR but also really nicely elevated. Every single song on this album has grown on me every day. GUTS is so damn well written.

I feel like with the lead singles she did such a good job and I’m glad she released vampire first bc I feel like if she did bad idea right first the album would not be doing well but what I’m saying is I feel like she’s was showing us both versions of the album with vampire the emotional side with bad idea right she was showing us the grungy angsty coming of age side

the grudge actually has my heart. it’s too relatable for me. ITS MY SONG. IT WAS WRITTEN FOR ME. She got it down pat down to the Friday in May. It was actually a Friday in May. I am still traumatized.

Vampire, logical: Zack Bia Get Him Back: Adam Faze Bad Idea Right, Love is Embarrassing, The Grudge: Josh Basset Each set uses lyrical and musical callbacks to tie the songs together.

I don’t know how Olivia manages to make albums that perfectly fit my situation. Timing is crazyyy. Literally therapeutic. Sour and Guts are my therapy sessions🥲

Logical and vampire kinda connects ..... The castle line anddd "how do you lie,how do you lie, how do u lie..... You lied, u lied , u lied.....

“Can’t take a joke, can’t get you off” electric chair.

omg u shud listen to “The Good Witch” by Maisie Peters!!! its so similar to guts but so different in the story, it gives bad ass energy with the right amount of crying

in the grudge she talks ab getting a phone call on a Friday in may and In the ‘Driving Home 2 U’ documentary, Olivia mentions a boy breaking up with her when she was on her way to Salt Lake City on May 8, 2020 (which was a Friday). This is the same day she started writing “1 step forward, 3 steps back”. It is likely about the same person. and there's just a lot of ties to sour like she hears his voice when she feels like she isn't enough relates to enough for you

I love that teenage dream is the closing track on an album that she wrote on her last year of being a teenager! she has literally stopped being the "teenage dream" and its so relatable because i feel like no matter who you are, you are made to feel like your teenage years are THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE so as soon as they're over (which is literally in a heartbeat which is the worst part) you automatically feel like theres nothig more for you out there, feeling like all oportunities are all of a sudden limited and you have no more room for mistakes because you can no longer start over which is SO far from the truth but i think that thats where the anxiety of being an adult comes from.

Really upset that you didn’t instantly fall in love with “get him back” 😭😭😭

My comfort person listening to my new comfort album? This is gold. Being 19 when this album comes out its in a different level, this album really is healing people. Lots of love Ash💜

this album is SO Avril. Listening to every song I’m like “okay Avril 2004”

Ashley the tradition of you choosing a song as your least favorite and that song being in my top 3 continues 😭😭

i haven’t listened to the full album yet, because i couldn’t face it without the comfort of your company, thank you for making me be able to finally listen to it in full❤️

also i think get him back! is more about the concept of getting back at him (revenge) and not actually wanting to be him again which is really cool

never been more excited for a video. thanks for the content mom

My favorite part about “get him back” is that it’s a double entendre - she wants to “get back at him” for all the shit he put her through, but at the same time she wants to “get him back” as her partner because she misses him.

Awww ash the speech you did at the end made me cry. Your such a sweet human being and you always make me smile ❤

i’ve been going through a really hard time lately and your videos always comfort me so much ❤❤

ugh i love you so much, you remind me of my cousin who i used to listen to music and react together and honestly watching your videos are giving me so much nostalgia and warmness because of that reason, lots and lots of love

olivia and lorde giving us the best sophomore albums of all time, theyre so iconic

SOUR was THE album for me when I experienced some sadness a couple of years ago and GUTS is kinda the perfect follow up because i’m not in that space anymore - we love a pop rock queen x (although there’s no ‘favourite crime’ equivalent track for me on the new album which is a shame because that track fucked me UP lool)

We’ve officially lost Ash to the brilliance of GUTS. She’ll need 4-5 business days to recover. Please hold.

ash your room looks SO CUTE WHAT WE NEED A ROOM TOUR!!!!!!

Gurrllll you’re so funny and I love your editing!! 😂 Love Olivia and love this album. It’s grow even more on you, I’m just so proud of Olivia

Ashley your the reason my days are better whenever I watch one of your videos I become happy once again I love you❤❤

"i am my father's daughter" HER DAD'S A THERAPIST

SO cringe but … I have been going THROUGH it lately and seeing your uploads truly helps me distract myself from that! Fairly new to your channel(s) and I honestly can say you make me laugh so much and make me feel less lonely and sad. you’re one of a kind Ash! Hope you’re keeping yourself well and happy 💜

As a 21 year old I felt ancient listening to this album. it’s so angsty but I still stan

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE, HOPE YOU LOVE IT 🫶

THE REAL QUEEN HAS ARRIVED 🎆 I love you Ashley

The fact that this album beginning to end is a journey and it’s been a long time since I’ve been so moved by an album as a whole like this one

13:41 Ashley: U ONLY COME OUT AT NIIIGGighIIT *Meeko struggling to be free*

Watching ash’s videos gives me so much serotonin

was in the middle of a run and your twitter notif popped up and i screamed YASSSS WE WONNNNNNNN

i think we’re gonna need a GUTS (spilled) video queen

ASH!! i’ve been waiting for this one

wow, the way i was working for a college assignment and i was just complaining how there's nothing on youtube i can watch while i do that AND SHE HEARD ME Y'ALL! SHE HEARD MY CRY FOR HELP. Everyone say THANKS! to our mother who works 2 jobs, she loves her kids and never stops!

it was so funny seeing u at the beginning not knowing the rollercoaster of emotions that was gonna be this album, i cryed with you at the end, girl omg this shit hits HARD

God I love Olivia so much. She's an amazing songwriter and her vocals are everything!! The way she can express her feelings so good through her voice in every song is just amazing. This album was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. It has for sure a lot of punk-rock influences and I personally love it. She give me sometimes Avril Lavigne vibes which I love it because she's one of my favorites artists. Anyways, I love how she sang a lot with her beautiful deep voice too. The range! Also, her lyricism has improved a lot. OLIVIA DID IT AGAIN. 💜 Girl I cried at the end too because I also feel there's so much of me on Olivia in her lyrics and growing up even if I'm just a little bit older than her but yeah, it wasn't that nice 😭 I truly wish her the best too. I'm so proud of her! Her ballads are absolutely beautiful and the fun songs has a strong sarcasm and idk she's just so relatable especially if you are a teenager or a young adult. It's nice to find artists with a similar or close age like her that talks about these topics because come on, she can give us a different and young point of view of things. She probably wrote a lot of their songs here when she was 18--19 and things can be still pretty messy, you still behave like a teenager but you are becoming and adult too so you try to "act" like it and a lot of this change in life so idk it's complicated and especially if you have gone through a relationship with somebody way older than you and that person end up messing with your head, making you lose confidence, not taking you serious and breaking your heart.

This album has definitely been a grower for cause of the pop punk sound but it’s so good. Love your Ashley 💜💜

love watching Ashley getting whiplash from music. it entertains me❤️

Not to trauma dump but the grudge makes me cry without fail EVERY TIME I listen to it. Having had a rough time with some family issues I personally relate it to those and how I’ve felt following the drift from some people I used to be the absolute closest with and think the world of that essentially broke me. “The arguments that I’ve won against you in my head, in the shower, in the car and in the mirror before bed, yeah I’m so tough when I’m alone, and I make you feel so guilty and I fantasise about a time you’re a little f***in sorry and I know in my heart, hurt people hurt people, and we both drew blood but man those cuts were never equal!”

SOUR was really good but I actually bought GUTS after listening to it on itunes because I loved it so much, and I'm 29...

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID BY THE GOAT It's honestly impressive how Olivia keeps leveling up. The sky is the limit for her.

YAYYYY YOU POSTED i was in need of some comfort today

I know you said you wouldn't speculate but B*TCHH Lacy is 10000000% about Sabrina Carpenter. In the lyric videos for GUTS, every song has the GUTS rings BUT IN LACY the S ring is missing. Not just that, but every S is bolded in the lyric video. Every. Single. One. In interviews, Olivia mentioned that Lacy started off as a poem she wrote when she took a class at USC. If I remember correctly, that's around the time Sab/Josh were off and on so the way the lyrics talk about "I linger like perfume that you wear", "Bardot reincarnate", "Skin puff as pastries" IT JUST MAKES SENSE. and honeslty I'd feel that way towards her too. Admiration but intense jealosy. Anway, that's my theory. Thank you for always being my comfort channel!!

she’s a total fucking icon, i love the lean into pop rock - i really pray that i get a presale code for the tour 😭

Stoppp she’s so precious I love how much love she has for Oliviaaa😩❤️

Omg gurl!! I was just thinking how much Avril it’s giving!!!! ❤

seeing "making the bed" that high in your ranking made me feel sooo seen (it is my number one). that song is just too offensively real- as a 20 year old that is currently, constantly, thinking about my life and being too aware of every decision I make (more than ever), it destroyed me !!!

THE WAY I CLICKED SO FAST. gurl we've been waiting for this!!!

Love you Ashley, been watching your videos since you started you're such a queen

teenage dream hits so hard because this is me at my lowest. i graduated high school valedictorian with a full-ride scholarship to my university, but now at 24 i'm back to living with my mom (granted this is so i can afford graduate school without working full-time). it's hard seeing my peers who have graduated and found a stable "adult" job and not feel like i've fallen behind and that i've already given my best to the world. being back home especially made me have a lot of ruminating thoughts of wanting to go back and do things differently. usually i'm able to talk myself out of this spiral, but the fear that things won't get better (or that i won't get better) still lingers.

pretty isn't pretty is jealousy jealousy's older and more depressed sister on zoloft that isn't working 😭😭 like she really went there

The harmonies on this album were insane! 🤩I got chills listening to a good half of this album! My personal favorites are Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl, Pretty Isn't Pretty, Vampire, and Making The Bed (and this is coming from someone who listens mainly to rock music) 😃

Omg yes!!!!!! So excited for you review this album 😊

STOOPP. I’ve been waiting for this video And I missed the notification for it cause I was at school 😭 but I’m about to sit my butt down and watch it NOW!!

Thankyou internet mom ash for reaffirming that it isn’t a grudge because I went through something similar and the song really hit for me 😢❤ love you internet mom ash
