Olivia Rodrigo played a surprise, low-cost show for around 1,000 fans at Warsaw in Brooklyn, New York, offering an unusually intimate setting ahead of a major world tour. The review describes the performance as energetic and confident, with heavy guitar riffs and memorable pop hooks highlighting her ability to move between arena-scale stardom and a smaller club environment.

Tickets cost $25 and were sold in person on the morning of the show, selling out within about 100 minutes as the heat index approached 100F. Rodrigo performed a lean, hour-long 15-song set, nine tracks from her new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, while omitting several established fan favourites; her forthcoming tour is due to include 86 dates, including 11 at London’s O2.
