Queue the ear-piercing scream break! We’ve got our Southern Cross stickers ready to transform ‘all-american b*tch’ into the down-under anthem it was always meant to be—especially with our early-2000s queen, Olivia Rodrigo, joining us next week! No, your calendar isn’t playing tricks on you. She’s about to serenade a sold-out crowd at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on the 9th, rocking a Bunnings hat to hide those chestnut curls and sporting some liquored-up Doc Martens for her iconic shoey. All in the name of GUTS, right?!
But this week is an international affair for us Livies! Netflix has announced that, when all is well and good (and we’re unfortunately ‘making the bed’ on the final tour date in Sydney), a concert film will soon land on the streaming platform. Directed by James Merryman and executive produced by John Janick and Steve Berman, we’ll relive all those purple-hazed moments we loved from the epic 95-date tour.
While we’re refreshing Netflix every minute to hit that notification bell for the concert film, we’re also here to help you, Aussies! You might be wondering how. We’re ready to inspire you with ideas for your banners to make it easy for Olivia to spot you in the crowd!
I am so excited to share the GUTS World Tour with my fans. For those of you who didn’t get a chance to rock out in-person, now you can have the best seats in the house! And to the fans who cheered, screamed, and danced with me, I am so glad we get to do it all over again!
Olivia in a press release
Doing A Rodrigo: Telling His Mum He Sucks Just Like His AFL Team!
Sometimes, tunes are like a universal language. In this case, we’ve all played the fool trying to ‘get him back!’ But why not cross out the ‘him’ and swap it for ‘some bloke?’ We’re tapping into that fiery Y2K spite, after all! For a fun spin, words can be adorned with AFL footballs in the corners, each glittering with red sparkles.
You Just Tripped And Fell Into OZ!
We’re lingering a bit longer on this fiery banger, twisting another lyric into an Aussie reference! And let’s be honest—sometimes we get swept up in our fangirl fantasies and book a plane ticket to Melbourne or Sydney just to catch Liv live. Other times, she’s selling out arenas faster than you can say, “G’day!” Don’t forget to deck out that poster with tiny Australian flags for that extra flair!
Perfectly All-American? Yeah, Nah, Perfectly Aussie!
There’s nothing more Aussie than hearing their slang roll off the tongue like a scorcher, and this banner captures that vibe perfectly! If you’re feeling artsy, why not sketch a mini Rodrigo? Picture her gripping the red mic with one hand and the other flashing her GUTS rings on every finger. The final touch? Have the words etched across her encore tank, ready for the spotlight.
You’re So ‘obsessed’ With Your Aussie Crew That You Took A 42-Hour Trip! We’d Throw That Love Back Like a Boomerang!
We might be catching flights rather than feelings, but an interstate cruiser is a mere hop compared to the miles Olivia’s racked up! After all, she just wrapped up her Asian GUTS Tour leg! No matter the distance, the obsession is definitely mutual. How about we sketch a plane with adorable koalas or kangaroos peeking out of the windows? That would be cute!
Lacy, Oh Lacy, Sugary Like Fairy Bread!
Americans may have “puff pastry,” but we’ve got something way tastier: fairy bread! Those colorful ‘hundreds and thousands’ love to crash parties like little sprinkle ninjas. This drawing might just make your stomach rumble, but no worries! Whipping up a slice is easy.
We’re ‘making the bed’ With Sunrise.
Fortunately, we’re a step ahead! Artists always make a pitstop at Sunrise during their Australian legs, whether to serenade us awake with an intimate performance or grimace comically while trying Vegemite for the first time. If you can’t attend the concert, complete with a cheerful sun drawing, this banner is just what you need!
Feeling Gutsy, Mate!
This one’s pretty self-explanatory! Has any word ever paired so perfectly with ‘mate’? We’ve struck gold with ‘gutsy,’ a clever nod to Olivia’s GUTS—of course! Now, let’s throw in a cartoon version of Olivia dramatically spewing over the bejeweled toilet often found in her touring van, which fans can line up to snap a photo with at every pitstop. Now that’s golden!
Our ‘drivers license’ May Be on the Wrong Side, But Our Hearts Are Always In The Right Lane for You!
Hear the engine revving as we hop into our trusty Toyota utes, time-warping back to Olivia’s debut single that kicked off it all: ‘drivers license.’ Of course, we drive on the ‘correct’ side of the road—right?—while we wreak delightful havoc on the left! It would be absolutely iconic to sketch some car keys onto this poster and engrave the lyrics onto their shiny brass. Talk about a collectible!
Cat Drop Bear Got My Tongue: But I’m Fangirling Over Olivia!
When Americans hear “drop bear,” their minds immediately conjure up images of creepy koalas hanging from vines, sporting razor-sharp teeth and those possessive red eyes—definitely demonic vibes! These cozy little terrors perfectly capture the social anxiety woven throughout Olivia’s ‘ballad of a homeschooled girl.’
‘love is embarrassing’ But Who’s Down Under For A Bush Dance Remix?
We wouldn’t even need to throw in a ‘6, 7, 8’ for you to bust out those ‘love is embarrassing’ moves—after all, you’ve been perfecting them since the GUTS Tour took off! But let’s put a fun spin on it. How about mixing in Tina Turner’s ‘Nutbush City Limits?’ That’s the kind of viral moment we need to show the world that Olivia’s Aussie fans are the ultimate champions. For this, you could play with the bush theme by drawing clusters of trees, Billabong hats, and those quirky road signs warning of potential kangaroo encounters!
Treat your GUTS World Tour tickets like AFL footballs, Livies—guard them with your life against any would-be tacklers! For those who missed out (and let’s be real, Olivia, we’re all hoping for more than just Melbourne and Sydney next time!), our kick through the goal post comes on October 29th, when you can catch the concert special first on Netflix. So, to borrow her tagline, who’s ready to spill their GUTS with us? Tell us what song you’re most looking forward to watching in HQ on our social media, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
