WHEN Olivia Rodrigo sings, “seeing you tonight, it’s a bad idea, right?,” she’s referring to an ex-boyfriend. But parents taking their nine-year-old to her concerts might want to ask themselves the same question.
For months, elementary school-aged children in the United States have been begging their mums and dads for a chance to see Rodrigo perform at her Guts World Tour. Many adults have acquiesced, despite US tickets averaging around US$200 (RM950) – a steep price for a grown-up, much less a child. But now that her tour has begun, some parents are up in arms over the fact that her concert is not as kid-friendly as they anticipated.
