    Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo launches gutsy new tour with early stop in Houston

    Rising pop star Olivia Rodrigo will go on a world tour in 2024 in support of her just-released new album, Guts, including a stop in Houston, at Toyota Center on Tuesday, February 27.

    It's a massive arena tour with 57 dates — a step up for Rodrigo, who played mostly amphitheaters and other mid-sized venues in 2022. The tour will be bookended by two separate North American legs, with a 21-city European leg sandwiched in-between.

    The initial 22-date run will start in Palm Springs, California on February 23, with Houston (February 27), Austin (February 28), and Dallas among the first concerts on the tour. Rodrigo will be joined by opening act Chappell Roan at all three Texas stops.

    Although sales figures for Guts, Rodrigo's second studio album, have not yet been released, it is destined to be just as successful as her 2021 album, Sour, which went to No. 1 around the world.

    That album contained inescapable hits like "Drivers License," "Deja Vu," and "Good 4 U," giving her an extremely high profile that resulted in three Grammy Awards in 2022. She already has one No. 1 song, "Vampire," off of Guts, whose video received seven nominations at the recent MTV Video Music Awards.

    Fans can register for a chance to buy tickets through Sunday, September 17 at 9 pm at ticketmaster.com/oliviarodrigo for both the on-sale as well as American Express® Early Access.

    Once registration closes, fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access to either the Early Access sale on Wednesday, September 20 and general sale on Thursday, September 21.

    The Guts world tour will also offer VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level.

    Additionally, the tour will feature "Silver Star Tickets," a limited number of $20 (plus taxes and fees) tickets that will be available at a later date. Silver Star Tickets, which must be purchased in pairs, will be located next to each other, with seat locations revealed on the day of show when picked up at the venue box office.

    A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales will go to Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good, a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women and girls through direct support of community based non-profits that champion girls’ education, support reproductive rights, and prevent gender-based violence.

    Movie Review

    Reminders of Him taps into grief, grace, and the power of moving on

    Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers in Reminders of HIm.

    Texas author Colleen Hoover has gone from being a popular writer to a full-on celebrity in the 2020s. The new film Reminders of Him marks the third adaptation of her books in just 19 months (a fourth, Verity, is scheduled for release in October 2026). All of her books that have been adapted so far — most notably It Ends With Us — are female-led stories that feature elements of romance and trauma, catnip for studios looking to appeal to the underserved demographic of women.

    Leading the way in this film is Kenna Rowan (Maika Monroe), who returns to her hometown of Laramie, Wyoming after spending years in prison for killing her boyfriend, Scotty (Rudy Pankow), in a car accident. That relationship resulted in a daughter, Diem (Zoe Kosovic), whom Kenna gave birth to while imprisoned and is now being raised by her grandparents, Patrick (Bradley Whitford) and Grace (Lauren Graham).

    Yearning to be a part of Diem’s life, Kenna tries to reconnect with Patrick and Grace, only to be rebuffed by Scotty’s best friend, Ledger (Tyriq Withers), a former NFL player who now owns a local bar. In running interference, Ledger starts to become closer to Kenna, discovering that her tragic mistake shouldn’t be the only thing that defines her.

    Directed by Vanessa Caswill and written by Lauren Levine, the film features mostly surface level examinations of its themes and average performances, yet it winds up being effective thanks to a willingness not to rush through its storytelling beats. The filmmakers take the slow and steady approach toward the coupling of Kenna and Ledger, setting up their bond through a series of heart-to-heart conversations that makes any romance feel earned.

    The majority of the focus is on Kenna reclaiming her place in the world, and on Ledger coming to terms with the fact that the person who killed his best friend is not inherently a bad person. The film definitely could have gone deeper in its explorations of grief and anger, but the sheer amount of time it takes in addressing the characters’ doubts and fears turns out to be sufficient for a film that’s not aiming to be considered a dramatic masterpiece.

    It also helps that Caswill and Levine do a solid job of establishing the variety of characters that inhabit the film. Kenna and Ledger don’t always feel like fully-formed people, but they become so through their interactions with each other and the other townspeople. Lady Diana (Monika Myers), a girl with Down syndrome who lives in Kenna’s apartment complex, and Roman (Nicholas Duvernay), Ledger’s co-worker at his bar, help to broaden the appeal of the two leads.

    Monroe has, to this point, been best known for starring roles in horror films like It Follows and Longlegs. While she does somewhat well in this role, her delivery is often more flat than you’d expect for a character going through what she does. Withers thankfully doesn’t remind viewers of his recent bomb Him, demonstrating a crossover appeal that should serve him well in the future. Whitford and Graham don’t get to do much, but their combined experience gives their roles exactly what is needed.

    It may sound like damning with faint praise, but Reminders of Him is a competently made film that knows how to serve its core audience without insulting anyone who may not automatically be all-in for such a story. The filmmakers don’t try to force any of the key moments down the audience’s throat, and that stands out in a genre that’s not always known for its subtlety.

    Reminders of Him opens in theaters on March 13.
