1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,519 Speaker 2: There's an incredible swell of hype anticipation over Livy Rodrigo's 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 2: upcoming sophomore album, Guts, thanks in large part to the 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 2: songwriting ability she showcased on her first album, Sour, which 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: was inspired by her real life. Her life was drastically 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: changed by that record's release, and this new project will 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 2: reflect that. She tells The New York Times, I had 8 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: a desire to live and experience things and make mistakes 9 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: and grow. After Sour came out, I felt this pressure 10 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: to be this girl that I thought everyone expected me 11 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: to be, and because of that pressure, I did things 12 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: that I maybe shouldn't have done, dated people I shouldn't 13 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: have dated. But this album is about coming out of 14 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 2: that disillusionment and realizing the core of who I am, 15 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 2: what I want to be doing, and who I want 16 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 2: to be spending my time with. Guts is out everywhere 17 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: next 18 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: Writing that's direct from Hollywood
