Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour has just begun streaming on Netflix, and in addition to actress and singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo's stunning performance, there are a number of musicians, dancers, background vocalists, and even a surprise guest who join her. GUTS World Tour is Rodrigo's first full-fledged concert movie, although her first studio album, Sour, did lead to a short Disney+ documentary, OLIVIA RODRIGO: driving home 2 u. Unlike that documentary, GUTS World Tour follows the tradition of many of the best concert movies, capturing one show from the larger tour.
Like the massively successful concert movies Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, Rodrigo's movie reproduces a show from the GUTS World Tour more or less in totality, which means Rodrigo's background vocalists, dancers, and musicians also appear in the movie. The songs in GUTS World Tour showcase the talent of these performers, but because GUTS World Tour is not a traditional documentary, little is shared about the performers during the movie. Here's every musician, vocalist, and dancer who appears in Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour and a bit more information about them.
Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour Special Guests
Chappell Roan
Olivia Rodrigo had just one special guest in GUTS World Tour, but it was one that clearly got the crowd very excited. A little more than halfway through the show, Rodrigo brought singer-songwriter Chappell Roan onto the stage, and the two sang Roan's hit "HOT TO GO!" together, trading off between singing and dancing, and at times singing alongside one another. Roan has skyrocketed in popularity recently, not only for the song "HOT TO GO!" but also due to hits like "Pink Pony Club" and "Good Luck, Babe!"

Olivia Rodrigo gave her fans a peek behind the curtains in "driving home 2 u," which premiered on Disney+ this week. What did it reveal?
Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour Background Vocalists
Chappell Roan was the only guest in GUTS World Tour and only stayed on for one song, but Rodrigo was also supported by her two background vocalists in the movie. The singers, Anilee List and India Carney, could be seen and heard at various points throughout the concert movie, although there were also a number of songs that Rodrigo sang completely solo. Nevertheless, it's impressive that List and Carney alone provide all vocal support throughout the nearly two-hour-long concert.
Anilee List
Anilee List is a talented singer who has had a number of career highlights in addition to her participation in GUTS World Tour. Perhaps List's biggest claim to fame occurred during her appearance on American Idol in 2021, during which she was given a standing ovation for her vocal performance by judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Katy Perry. List also has a number of her own singles available on Spotify and has hinted that more music news is coming soon.

India Carney
India Carney is a singer, songwriter, vocal coach, and actress who debuted on season 8 of The Voice. In addition to touring with Rodrigo, Carney previously toured with Katy Perry, and she has performed at the VMAs, BET Awards, Coachella, and other award shows. Her debut single, "Human," was released in 2021, and it's clear there is plenty more to come for Carney.

10 Best Movies & TV Shows That Feature Music From Olivia Rodrigo
Any singer knows they've made it when popular shows and movies begin featuring their music, and such is the case for Olivia Rodrigo.
Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour Musicians
GUTS World Tour featured a number of incredible musicians, many of whom Rodrigo seemed genuinely close with. At one point during the show, Rodrigo specifically introduced her musicians by name and pointed them out, as she had done with her two background vocalists. There were also segments of the concert movie where Rodrigo played with just one musician, or sometimes a few, in particular.
Daisy Spencer On Guitar
Daisy Spencer is a touring guitarist who has been with Rodrigo since her first studio album, Sour. Spencer is one of the musicians who played songs one-on-one with Rodrigo during GUTS World Tour. During both "happier" and "favorite crime," Spencer sat on the floor of the stage with Rodrigo, which gave the songs a much more intimate feeling. Outside touring, Spencer is an LGBTQ+ advocate and openly speaks about their experience as an androgynous queer person.
Moa Munoz On Bass
Moa Munoz is a touring bassist, guitarist, and vocalist who has also been with Rodrigo for years. In addition to touring, Munoz is a songwriter and composer who has worked with major companies like Victoria's Secret and Ubisoft. Munoz was yet another of the musicians who had individual playing time with Rodrigo, as the two performed "jealousy, jealousy" side-by-side in matching hats in GUTS World Tour after an audience member had handed the hats to Rodrigo.
Emily Rosenfield On Guitar
Emily Rosenfield is a guitarist, producer, and musical director from Los Angeles, California. She has appeared on Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, to name just a few. Rosenfield also played guitar for the massively popular musical Hamilton.
Hayley Brownell On Drums
Hayley Brownell was the sole drummer for GUTS World Tour. Like many of the musicians in the movie, Brownell has been with Rodrigo since the Sour days, and that familiarity shone through in their moments together on stage. At one point, Rodrigo even stood in front of Brownell, banging on the drum set as a song finished. Brownell's solo artist work is done under the stage name Changeling.
Camila Mora On The Keyboard
Camila Mora is a singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter who has appeared on shows such as Live with Jimmy Kimmel, Good Morning America, and The Voice, to name just a few. Mora has also worked very closely with Rodrigo before, recording and arranging additional tracks for the Sour tour. Mora has also accompanied artists such as Chaka Khan, Julia Michaels, and Lorde.
Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour Dancers
GUTS World Tour also featured a number of dancers, although not all dancers in the movie have been on all legs of the tour. Likewise, not all dancers who have participated in other legs of the tour appeared in GUTS World Tour. This is simply by nature of the concert movie. Because GUTS World Tour is just one show from the much longer tour (Rodrigo played six shows in Los Angeles alone), only the dancers who played that night were in the movie.
Kyra Cole
Kyra Cole is a dancer and a performance artist. Unlike several of the other GUTS World Tour performers, many of whom are from New York City or Los Angeles, Cole is from Maryland. GUTS seems to be Cole's first full-fledged tour, but presumably more will be coming down the line for Cole following these captivating performances.
Paris Simpson
Paris Simpson is a dancer, actress, model, and vocalist. In addition to working with Olivia Rodrigo, Simpson has worked alongside artists like Doja Cat and has worked with companies like Pepsi and Amazon. Simpson is also open about the tragic loss of her father to cancer being a driving force in her life.
Forest Lee
Forest Lee is a dancer and performer who began touring with Rodrigo earlier this year. Like Cole, this seems to be Lee's first concert tour. Following their impressive performances on the GUTS tour, it's safe to assume more of Lee's work will be seen in the future.
Julia Alaimo
Julia Alaimo is a dancer and performer who has been dancing since she was young. Like many of her GUTS World Tour counterparts, Alaimo seems to be new to the world tour stage. As with many of the GUTS World Tour performers, it will be thrilling to see what Alaimo does next.
Myranda Gibson
Myranda Gibson is a dancer, choreographer, and educator. In addition to Olivia Rodrigo, Gibson has danced with artists such as Charli XCX and Snoop Dogg. Gibson has also performed at Coachella and worked with companies such as McDonald's and Skechers. In 2022, Gibson also appeared on The Real Dirty Dancing.
Alex White
Alex White is a dancer and artist who also seems to have jump-started her world-touring dancing career with Rodrigo's GUTS World Tour. Throughout the concert movie, White can be seen at Rodrigo's side, making playful faces. While GUTS World Tour may be the beginning of a burgeoning career, Alex White, like her counterparts, is one to watch.
Devan Aischa
Devan Aischa is a dancer and educator who has been dancing since she was young. Outside the Guts World Tour, Aischa has danced alongside artists like Justin Bieber, Gwen Stefani, and the Jonas Brothers, among others. Clearly, Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour brought together a number of truly incredible artists, and, as many performers in the movie seem to be starting their careers, it will be exciting to see what they do next.
