Olivia Rodrigo's show in Irving wasn't long, as she's a newcomer, but that was good news for fans who might struggle to hold up their phones for a longer set.The roar could have been heard across DFW. Thousands of teenagers scream-sang along to every single word throughout Olivia Rodrigo's hour-long set, nearly drowning out the music itself. It was evident: Rodrigo has struck a Gen Z chord.
For fans lucky enough to score a ticket in the few minutes before they sold out, the night was a red-carpet event. Thousands of teens — primarily female and looking like they got their driver’s licenses just last week — waited in line for hours before the show in hopes of positioning themselves close to the front barricade. Dressed in lavender, butterfly-clad merch styled with plaid, platform boots and a trawlers' worth of fishnet, they were decked out in proper pop-punk princess fashion.
When “Olivia” by One Direction played over the speakers, a sea of phone screens shot up in anticipation. The screams started when the purple curtains opened to reveal the shimmery, bleacher-lined stage, and they did not stop once during the entire set. Rodrigo kicked off the show with her pop-punk favorites, “brutal,” and “jealousy, jealousy.” before surprisingly jumping right into her No. 1 hit, “driver’s license.
