It was Rodrigo's first all-arena concert tour, after her debut tour was scheduled at intimate venues such as theaters and auditoriums. The set list consisted of songs mostly from Guts and some from Sour. In line with the promoted album's themes, the show's nature was inspired by rock-driven music, more specifically by girl rock and riot grrrl live concerts. A brief 2025 extension billed as Guts World Tour: Spilled was headlined at stadiums.
The tour was met with highly positive reviews from critics, who praised Rodrigo's stage presence, vocals and the pace of the show. It also experienced commercial success as being attended by 1.6 million people and grossed US$209.1 million from 101 shows, becoming the highest-grossing tour by an act born in the 21st century. Rodrigo's August 2024 shows at Intuit Dome in Inglewood were recorded for a television special, which was released on October 29, 2024, on Netflix.

On September 10, 2024, a date in Santa Maria, Bulacan was added to the Asian leg of the tour.

Ticket sales
Alongside the announcement of the tour, it was revealed that there would initially be no public on-sale. Fans could register for a chance to buy tickets until September 17, 2023, at 10 p.m. ET in one of two ways: through Ticketmaster, for access to the sale on September 21, 2023, or through American Express's Early Access, for access to the presale on September 20, 2023. However, the latter option was limited to American Express Card Members only.In addition, all cities on the North American leg of the tour offered the "Silver Star Tickets" option, which consisted of a limited number of tickets available for $20 per show, purchasable in pairs only. This program ensured that concertgoers with these tickets would be seated next to each other, aiming to "make it as easy and affordable as possible for her fans to make it out to her shows". All tickets sold for the Santa Maria, Bulacan show were Silver Star Tickets. Ticketmaster deemed the demand "massive", noting that "there are still more fans who registered than tickets available". In response, the company implemented new policies to combat reselling, such as delaying ticket delivery until 72 hours before the concert and making tickets available only electronically.

Four days later, second shows were added in Lisbon and Antwerp due to "incredible demand", as well as a venue upgrade for the Oslo show.

A couple of days later, a second show in Tokyo was added. Due to high demand, a second date at Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros for the Spilled leg was added on November 19.
Staging and production
The stage design for arena shows extended into the crowd at a diagonal on two catwalks for both left and right end sides, an open section where her music band remains visible throughout the show and a full digital screen element comprising the height and width behind the stage. Though modest, the production also includes elements like multiple camera set ups, a levitating quarter-moon shaped platform and mobile blocks that rise from the center platform. For the outdoor venues, the stage was reduced to a small catwalk and did not feature wardrobe changes nor the levitating platform.Concert synopsis
2024 concerts
Heavily inspired by female rock bands such as The Breeders, Hole, Sleater-Kinney, L7 and Babes in Toyland, the show lasts approximately one hour and a half, and begins with the word Guts being displayed on the stage's screen as birthday candles that progressively melt until the start of the concert. A black and white introductory video depicts Rodrigo running desperately across a somber hotel aisle, in which she eventually arrives to a room and knocks on the door with rings that appear on Guts’ album cover. She and her band then appear on stage to open the show with "Bad Idea Right?", preceding to "Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl". Rodrigo then delivers a welcome note to the audience before singing "Vampire", which is followed by "Traitor". Rodrigo proceeds with piano renditions of "Drivers License" and "Teenage Dream" before transitioning to "Pretty Isn't Pretty".After a wardrobe change, Rodrigo performs "Love Is Embarrassing", accompanied by a choreography routine, introduces her band and dancers, and performs "Making the Bed". Later, she performs "Logical" and "Enough for You" on the half-moon prop flying over the public. After a second costume change, Rodrigo sings "Lacy" in the middle of a retractable circle while dancers perform additional choreography surrounding the structure. Rodrigo then leaves the stage to perform "Jealousy, Jealousy" alongside her fans in the venue barricades. Upon returning to the stage, Rodrigo plays "Happier" and "Favorite Crime" with a band member accompanying on the acoustic guitar. Next, she performs "Deja Vu", before lowering the mood of the concert during "The Grudge".

For "Brutal", Rodrigo reappears after another wardrobe change, in which she follows with a performance of "Obsessed", where she plays the electric guitar herself. She then performs "All-American Bitch", resembling her previous performance on Saturday Night Live, and asks her fans during the middle of the song to scream out loud. An encore begins with the performance of "Good 4 U", while Rodrigo uses a red megaphone and wears a specific iron-on T-shirt for each date, including one referencing No Doubt's "Just a Girl". During "Get Him Back!"; the concluding song of the show, confetti shoots up from the ceiling and the stage's lighting rigs heavily flash until turning off completely.

The show on the Spilled leg features a nearly identical readjusted set list spanning the majority of the Guts album, with the exception of "Making the Bed", "Logical" and "The Grudge", while permanently incorporating the deluxe track "So American". The concert begins with a graphic showing Rodrigo slacklining and trying to catch a purple butterfly in front of a black background before falling off the rope, just to appear on stage to start the concert with "Obsessed" played on electric guitar. After performing "Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl" and "Vampire", Rodrigo welcomes the audience and proceeds to sing "Drivers License" and "Traitor" on piano. She then has another brief chat with the public as an introduction to "Bad Idea Right?", which is followed by "Love Is Embarrassing" accompanied by its choreography routine."Pretty Isn't Pretty" continues with the set list before a full band execution of "Happier". Rodrigo then performs “Lacy” in the middle of the retractable circle while the dancers perform the additional choreography with long fabric ribbons surrounding the structure. After this, she plays "Enough For You" with an electric guitar on the middle of the stage catwalk, in which she stays to sing "So American". During a musical intermission, Rodrigo introduces her band members, who abruptly start playing "Jealousy, Jealousy"; she performs the track upon a clear glass block where she writes "I ♡ U" with red lipstick.
A second video interlude depicts Rodrigo floating underwater in the middle of a purple ocean, turning into a lavender fog that leads to "Favorite Crime". Transitioning to "Teenage Dream", the screens display a birthday cake burning by the candles, followed by a "Deja Vu" performance with the dancers ensemble. A third and final video interlude preludes the encore, where Rodrigo lights up a ring of fire around her while guitarists Emily Rosenfield and Daisy Spencer play heavy electric guitar notes on stage. Rodrigo reappears to sing "Brutal", "All-American Bitch", and "Good 4 U". The show ends with Rodrigo performing "Get Him Back!" at the top of a small tower light using the red megaphone, as confetti is being shot up from the stage and a bidding farewell from all the crew.
