Olivia Rodrigo brought out Noah Kahan on Friday (April 5) in New York – watch the moment below.During the opening night of the ‘Guts World Tour’ shows at Madison Square Gardens, the two duetted on a rendition of ‘Stick Season’. The pair took turns at delivering each line of the song during their rendition.Rodrigo has previously covered Kahan’s track for BBC’s Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2023 and he followed this up by covering her song ‘Lacy’ for his own Live Lounge appearance.
Olivia Rodrigo took the piano to sing her smash debut single “Drivers License” on Friday night — during the first of four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden on her “Guts” World Tour — it was almost as if she had outgrown the song.Just three years ago — when the breakup ballad floored it to No. 1 in 2021, putting the pop ingenue on the fast track to three Grammys — Rodrigo had yet to graduate from Disney’s “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.” So singing about the rite of passage of getting your driver’s license made her feel just like the 17-year-old that she was when she wrote, recorded and released her first of three chart-toppers.Flash forward to April 2024, and Rodrigo has made Disney a distant memory, leaving “High School Musical” in 2022, graduating from playing Radio City Music Hall on 2022’s “Sour” Tour to making her headlining debut at the big daddy of New York arenas.
