Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena pulsed with electric energy as a surprise guest took the stage during Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Guts’ World Tour. The crowd erupted in cheers when Sheryl Crow, the iconic ‘Soak Up the Sun’ singer, materialised alongside Rodrigo. The excitement was palpable as the duo prepared to deliver a captivating rendition of Crow’s 1996 hit, ‘If It Makes You Happy’.
Olivia Rodrigo turned up the excitement a notch at her Nashville concert, showering her surprise guest with praise before the performance. “I’m absolutely thrilled because tonight we have a very special visitor,” she declared, her voice ringing out over the eager crowd.

She continued, her words filled with genuine admiration, “I think she’s one of the most talented, most wonderful, kindest human beings I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting.”
Building the anticipation further, Rodrigo added, “I’ve been lucky enough to share the stage with her a few times before and I’m even luckier to call her a friend.”
Just two months prior, they kicked off the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony with the same infectious song. Crow, who was inducted that night by her friend Laura Dern, even shared some sage advice with the rising star.
A glimpse into their camaraderie can be found on Rodrigo’s Instagram, where she documented a visit to Nashville’s iconic Bluebird Cafe. A photo captures the playful energy of the evening, featuring them side-by-side in salon chairs, magazines in hand.
