Going to Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS Tour show in Manila will not only be a great time—through Fund 4 Good, it’s also a way to support women and girls worldwide.

Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS Tour in Manila is the definition of worth it—and not just because it’s staggeringly cheap compared to other shows by big-name artists.
Concerts are a lucrative business. Just look at ticket prices worldwide (and the increasing prevalence of scalpers). Though a lot of us would pay quite a lot to simply watch an artist perform, it’s an added bonus when we know our money is making an impact socially. Olivia Rodrigo taking a long time to announce the Manila date of her GUTS World Tour ended up being worth it, as not only do all her tickets cost only 1500 PHP, but all the earnings of the show will go to the artist’s Fund 4 Good initiative, which supports women and girls worldwide.
Through Fund 4 Good, Olivia’s shown an effort to not only be considerate of her audience, but to also highlight women’s and girls’ struggles all over the world.
FOR THE GIRLS
olivia has launched ‘fund 4 good’, a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good is a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for women and girls through raising money for community-based non-profit organizations that champion girls’ education, support reproductive rights, and prevent gender-based violence.
“Fund 4 Good works to support all women, girls, and people seeking reproductive health freedom,” the singer said.
The initiative was launched just earlier this year alongside her GUTS World Tour dates, and a portion of her ticket sales will go toward Fund 4 Good. For the US leg of the tour, she partnered with the National Network of Abortion Funds to help those who are hindered from “getting the reproductive care they deserve.”
For the Canadian dates of the tour, she partnered with Women’s Shelters Canada, an association of shelter organizations across the country that supports over 600 shelters for women and children fleeing violence.
During the European leg of the GUTS World Tour, the Fund supported Women Against Violence Europe (WAVE). The WAVE Network works to strengthen and sustain a European alliance of women’s specialized support and prevention services, experts and survivors. Through an intersectional feminist approach, they aim to prevent, challenge, address and ultimately end male violence against women and their children.
For the long-awaited Manila stop of the GUTS Tour, Olivia made the entire show a fundraiser for Fund 4 Good, with all net ticket proceeds going to the initiative. Though we don’t know yet what specific organizations the initiative will support, we know for sure that our money will go to positively impacting the lives of women and girls across the globe.
MUSIC 4 GOOD

Olivia Rodrigo’s introduction of “Silver Star” tickets made it known that offering $20 tickets was to make sure people who could not afford the regular tickets (anywhere from $50-$200) may still watch the show—albeit they won’t know where they’ll watch it from.
Olivia’s low pricing of her GUTS Tour in Manila tickets (comedically referred to as “presyong kababayan”) was already a considerate and pleasantly surprising move on her part, and making it essentially a fundraising show a lot of consideration on her part.
olivia rodrigo is an artist that everyone should stan as a filipino. tickets are very cheap, very considerate and all of the sales on her show will go to fund where helps women’s rights such as reproductive rights and so on.

I LOVE YOU OLIVIA YOU’RE THE ONLY RODRIGO I STAN!
Her decisions thus far are further proof that music can be political—but not in the sense that it has to involve governments directly. Olivia and her GUTS tour are political in the sense that music and concerts can be a space to support those in need and advocate for causes involving things like women’s and reproductive rights. From pushing for affordability to advocating for reproductive rights to women’s safety, Olivia is committed to doing more for people and communities than just make music.
