Olivia Rodrigo showed the secrets she shouldn’t tell on opening night of The Unraveled Tour.
Rodrigo, 23, rocked a baby blue pleated mini dress while performing “The Cure” in the middle of People’s Bank Arena for thousands of devoted fans in Hartford, Conn.
As the “Drivers License” singer belted out her latest hit from her third studio album, rain began falling onto the stage and melted her dress away to reveal a red latex ensemble.
Following the stunning water display, Rodrigo changed into a tank top and jeans for an encore performance including a few hits from her previous catalogs, “GUTS” and “SOUR.”

The former Disney Channel actress admitted that Gates was “one of the most inspiring women I’ve ever met,” while championing her dedication to “empowering women and girls that might have otherwise been forgotten.”
“Look at what you have done,” Gates told Rodrigo after joining Rodrigo on stage. “Look at what you created!”
“What I love about you is that you know that real power is not up here on stage, it’s with everybody there, all of you,” Gates continued. “When women and girls come together to dream and to lead, we change the world.”
