Sour received critical acclaim upon its release. It was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammys, winning the latter award.

She then embarked on the Sour Tour in support of her debut album. It visited North America and Europe during its 49-show run in 2022.

In 2023, Rodrigo released her second album, Guts. Once again, she landed Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album Grammy nominations. However, it did not win either award.

In support of Guts, Rodrigo launched a massive world tour. The Guts World Tour started on February 23, 2024, and is set to conclude on July 1, 2025.

It is a lot bigger than her first headlining tour. Rodrigo performed in arenas around the globe, visiting North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe throughout its run. A total of 102 shows will be played throughout the six legs of the tour.

She was accompanied by some A-list acts as well. Chappell Roan, St. Vincent, and PinkPanthress were among her opening acts for the tour.
