    very good album. fun, but more mature themes than a 17 year old's heart breaking. I wonder what her third album will be like

    a perfect sophomore album, olivia is here to stay. She mastered the pop punk sound while also being great at ballads. The production and lyrics are so good, definitely album of the year for me.

    guts superou sour com letras mais maduras, como namorar pessoas mais velhas e as consequências disso, não conseguir perdoar uma quebra de confiança, como é assustador crescer… acho que foi tudo muito bem colocado, é como uma garota de 19 anos pensa e ela desses pensamentos uma arte.

    I felt ALL the emotions listening to GUTS. Olivia's got a knack for hitting all the right emotional notes. I like that she wove moments of humor into her music to balance out the other sad and poignant moments. GUTS is a skipless album for me. I can't pick a favorite track; it changes every day.

    instant classic! bringing up the 2000s sound was so smart and it became her mark, i really hope she continues using it on her next albums, but will be eating it up even if that doesnt happen! she knows how to serve and she KNOWS music. its amazing how far she come with 20 years and only 2 years of career, but not surprising. she is definetely going places. already is.

I say the same for the heartbreaking closing track that depicts what 19 was like for the singer Olivia Rodrigo to fans in a retrospective manner that she was handling those emotions and thoughts. Speaking about her emotions and thoughts, the album showcased those brilliantly with metaphors, references, angst, melodies and lyrics that speak to the soul and mind for those who relate and find comfort in them. Absolutely phenomenal in a multitude of ways that exhibit excellence. I look forward to new songs and albums from Olivia Rodrigo in the future!… Expand

    “Teenage Dream” recycles a song title of Katy Perry’s and echoes a twisty-turny melody of Lana Del Rey’s. Yet Rodrigo’s emotional presence is so strong throughout “Guts” — so believable even at its most unrelatable — that you never lose the sense of a specific young person navigating a trial of her own making.
