History repeats itself: Olivia Rodrigo scores an Aitana and already has a “controversial” dance on her Guts Tour

Music news

“But is no one going to think about the children?“, shouted Helen Lovejoy in The Simpsons. A shout that, in the 21st century, could be part of any comment on the social network Or, according to whoever writes those moralistic comments, there is a tendency to think too little.

And every time a young girl comes out to dance and sing with no other pretext than to delight the public that comes to her concert, a man or woman has something to say. She already happened to Aitana with My love in October, when the Catalan performed a choreography full of sensuality on the floor of the stage of Alpha Tour. A chorus that went perfectly with the lyrics of the song, where she talks without hiding about an encounter full of chemistry with a boy she liked at a nightclub. The dance, which could have gone unnoticed, became one of the most anticipated moments of the show thanks to a user’s false complaint on Twitter (which many believed to be true) where she explained that she had attended with her daughter and that, after this dance, the girl had left scandalized.

That comment, which was just a nod to the most conservative society, reached the morning talk tables of our country. In this way, commentators of all ages debated whether what the best-known Spanish star in our country was doing (with RosalĂ­a’s permission) was the right thing or not. The reason? The boys and girls who go to his concerts may be shocked.

Olivia Rodrigo’s turn has arrived

But Aitana is not the only one who has had to face these types of comments. Olvia Rodrigo, one of the most important stars of the moment, started her Guts Tour this Saturday. A world tour where the American will visit different places on the planet (including Madrid and Barcelona). And what has he done? Well, serve. You serve a show and enjoy every moment on stage.

When the singer performed for the first time Obsessed on the concert stage (a song that will be released on the Deluxe version of Guts), not only did it become the fans’ favorite moment because of the surprise of being able to hear the song for the first time, but also because of Oli’s movements.

The 21-year-old singer, lying on stage, was encouraged to raise her pelvis and move her hips in a very suggestive way. A dance that totally matches what the young woman is saying: a way to explain what she feels about her crush. It is true that there has not been a stir from the most conservative society in the United States about this dance (we will see when they find out that Olivia was a Disney girl), but both the song and the dance have provoked all kinds of comments:

“A rainbow t-shirt at Target won’t turn your kids gay, but Olivia Rodrigo performing “Obsessed” live on the GUTS tour will.”

“Olivia Rodrigo playing Obsessed broke the pussy scale, causing earthquakes all over Twitter last night”
