1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Much has been said about the difference between Olivia Rodrigo's

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: first album, Sour, and a new album, Guts. The first

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: batch of songs was written when she was relatively unknown,

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: and she still assumed nobody would even pay attention to them.

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: But the second album was written when she was a

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: household name and knew every lyric would be scrutinized, and

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: she admits that shift created a creative block until she

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: realized something about her own life experience. She tells interview,

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: this sounds weird to say, but I think over time,

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: I've realized that I'm really not that special. Sure, I

12
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: was homeschooled, and all this stuff happened in my career,

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: but then I really boiled my problems down and realized, oh,

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: they're just nineteen year old and twenty year old problems

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: in a different environment. If you speak honestly about any experience,

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: then someone is going to find truth in it. There

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: is plenty of truth packed into Guts, which is out

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: everywhere today.

19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: That's Direct from Hollywood.
