Newly minted three-time Grammy winner and licensed driver Olivia Rodrigo has recently (finally) embarked on her first-ever tour — and people are already obsessed with the two covers she's included in the setlist, including their original artists.
Amidst the hits from her acclaimed debut — and one of Exclaim!'s 50 Best Albums of 2021 — SOUR, the pop star has been performing renditions of Avril Lavigne's 2002 breakthrough "Complicated" and 1994 alt-rocker "Seether" by Veruca Salt — a song Rodrigo says that she was introduced to by her mom.
The band themselves posted a photo of the SOUR Tour setlist to their Instagram, writing that they've been "belting out 'brutal' and 'good 4 u' in [their] cars nonstop." "This made our day!" they added, "See you in L.A. and Chicago."
Lavigne also shared her stamp of approval, retweeting a clip of Rodrigo putting her live spin on the Let Go classic.

The Motherfucking Princess and voice of a generation previously praised Rodrigo for "the return of rock 'n' roll on the charts."
