Olivia Rodrigo Plays Biggest Concert of Her Career in Mexico City: ‘My Eyes Can't Believe It'
'Do you guys know that this is the biggest show that I've ever played in my f—ing life?! I literally… My eyes can't believe it. Oh my God! Thank you guys so much for being here,' Rodrigo said, visibly emotional, during her first of two nights at the iconic stadium (formerly known as Foro Sol).

The singer/songwriter surpassed the attendance of more than 50,000 people she had achieved last October in the Philippines, where her family is originally from.
Her visit to Mexico is part of the Latin American leg of her Guts World Tour, with her first stadium shows in Brazil and Mexico. Prior to the Mexican capital, Rodrigo performed her first solo concert in the region in the Brazilian city of Curitiba.
In her first visit to Latin America, the 22-year-old star also participated in the Chilean, Argentine and Brazilian editions of the Lollapalooza festival late last month. In Colombia, she was part of the lineup for the Estéreo Picnic festival. This summer, she will also headline Lollapalooza on Aug. 1 at Grant Park in Chicago.
During her performance in Mexico City, Rodrigo told the audience that it was one of her favorite cities and that she had already tried some traditional tacos, visited the Museo Casa Azul of the iconic painter Frida Kahlo, and attended a lucha libre wrestling match.
Although there were mixed feelings because the show in Mexico, like in South America, did not feature the original production of the Guts World Tour, with the massive catwalk and giant hanging moon, and her setlist was shorter than usual, her thousands of fans, mostly young girls, gave the American singer a warm reception.
The three-time Grammy winner's setlist included hits such as 'Obsessed,' 'Vampire,' 'Love Is Embarrassing,' 'Lacy,' 'So American' and, one of the most anticipated songs of the night, 'Good 4 U.'
The opening act for Rodrigo's shows was Texas indie rocker St. Vincent, who released an album entirely in Spanish, Todos Nacen Gritando, late last year — a version of her Grammy-winning album All Born Screaming (2024). In her return to Mexico City, following her appearance at the previous edition of the Corona Capital festival, Annie Clark (her real name) was joined by Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin as part of her band.
On Thursday night (April 3), Rodrigo will perform her second concert at the Estadio GNP Seguros before traveling to the northern city of Monterrey to participate in the Tecate Pa'l Norte festival over the weekend.

A Jurassic Park sequel is one of the Netflix sci-fi movies you need to watch (August 2025)
Netflix movies have been setting viewership records this summer. KPop Demon Hunters is now the streamer's most popular animated film ever. Plus, Golden, one of the film's singles, is currently No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, Happy Gilmore 2 generated the biggest U.S. opening weekend for a Netflix film with 46.7 million views. Aside from the in-demand movies, Netflix offers an eclectic selection of entertaining movies, especially in the sci-fi genre. One of our top picks this month is The Lost World, the underrated sequel to Jurassic Park. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video. Weird Science (1985) John Hughes penned three scripts in 1985: National Lampoon's European Vacation, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science. The latter two, which he directed, fall under Hughes' memorable coming-of-age movies in the '80s. The link between the two films is Anthony Michael Hall, who stars in both. In Weird Science, Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith play Gary and Wyatt, two nerdy teenagers who want to be popular. One night, the duo creates the perfect woman on Wyatt's computer. After a magical power surge, the boys' creation comes to life as Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), a beautiful superhuman who serves Gary and Wyatt. With Lisa by their side, the teens gain the confidence they need to throw a party in hopes of winning over their high school crushes. Despite being inferior to The Breakfast Club, Weird Science is a funny and charming version of a Frankenstein story. Stream Weird Science on Netflix. Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) From the late '90s through 2008, Brendan Fraser was a legitimate action star thanks to The Mummy franchise. One month before The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was released in August 2008, Fraser headlined Journey to the Center of the Earth, an updated adaptation of Jules Verne's 1864 novel of the same name. Professor Trevor Anderson (Fraser) embarks on an expedition to Iceland with his 13-year-old nephew, Sean (Josh Hutcherson), to search for his missing brother. With the help of an Icelandic guide (Anita Briem), Trevor discovers Verne's novel is a legitimate map to the center of the Earth. Although they reach the Earth's center, the trio realizes they must escape or face the same tragic fate as Trevor's brother. Fraser's stoicism and comedic timing stand out in this sci-fi adventure film that kids will love. Stream Journey to the Center of the Earth on Netflix. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) What more can be said about Jurassic Park? The movie remains a landmark achievement in sci-fi filmmaking. The sequel was never going to reach the heights of the original. However, The Lost World: Jurassic Park deserves more credit for being an exciting blockbuster. Four years after the events in Jurassic Park, the greedy capitalist, Peter Ludlow (Arliss Howard), becomes the new CEO of InGen. Feeling like there's a market for dinosaurs, Ludlow sends a group of mercenaries to Isla Sorna, aka Site B, to save the remaining dinosaurs in hopes of opening Jurassic Park in California. Learning about InGen's new plans, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) recruits Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and a small team to disrupt Ludlow's mission. Even with inferior characters, Steven Spielberg's sequel still soars when the movie features numerous battles between man and dinosaur. Those pesky raptors remain as terrifying as ever. Stream The Lost World: Jurassic Park on Netflix. Lost in Starlight (2025) South Korean filmmaker Han Ji-won successfully helmed a sci-fi anime romance made for adults in Lost in Starlight. Set in 2050, Lost in Starlight explores the budding relationship between Nan-young (Kim Tae-ri) and Jay (Hong Kyung). Nan-young is an astronaut who dreams of leading an expedition to Mars. Jay is a musician and handyman. After Jay agrees to fix Nan-young's record player, the two begin spending more time together. What starts as a worker-client relationship eventually transforms into a loving partnership. For the first time in her life, Nan-young might have something to live for other than a life in space. Lost in Starlight puts some of your favorite adult dramas to shame because of its moving depiction of love and affection. Stream Lost in Starlight on Netflix. Sound & Fury (2019) Sturgill Simpson is no ordinary country singer. The Grammy-winning artist is more of an outlaw musician, like Johnny Cash, than a traditional country singer, like Garth Brooks. Simpson is fearless in his pursuit of new sounds, experimenting with different genres along the way. In 2019, Simpson released his fourth album, Sound & Fury, accompanied by a dystopian Netflix anime movie of the same name. Set to the songs on the album, Sound & Fury follows an enigmatic driver who battles several deadly opponents in a post-apocalyptic world. Think of Sound & Fury as Mad Max mixed with anime. The result is an impressively unique visual album that could stand alone as a triumphant anime film. Stream Sound & Fury on Netflix.

Reformation's Summer Sale Includes Tons of Celeb-Loved Finds
With the help of stylists and off-the-runway designer pieces, I tend to consider celebrity fashion more aspirational than inspirational. But, when I see one of my fave stars sporting a style that doesn't cost an entire paycheck, there's a good chance it's from Reformation. The eco-conscious brand is a favorite among celebs like Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo—and thanks to Reformation's annual Summer Sale, you can save up to 30% off off pop star-approved pieces. That is, if they don't sell out first! I did some browsing and spotted sooo many deals on celeb-loved styles, including Taylor's leather loafers, Olivia's cashmere sweater and an off-the-shoulder dress worn by both singers (the drama!). In previous years, I've seen Ref discounts drop as low as 70% off—although at that point, most of the good stuff is sold out. If you're willing to gamble, it *might* be worth holding out for a steeper sale. But if you want to secure your favorite pieces before they're gone, I'd recommend shopping ASAP.

Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima lists $16M home with AI and laser-powered security system
Brazilian supermodel and former Victoria's Secret Angel, Adriana Lima, is parting ways with her Los Angeles estate — a property where the security measures read more like a celebrity protection playbook than a standard home listing. Priced at $15.995 million, the modern Brentwood compound sits behind custom gates and mature hedging on one of the widest lots in the North Bundy flats, with 120 feet of frontage. Lima and her husband, film producer Andre Lemmers III, purchased the 7,400-square-foot property only three years ago for $12.35 million, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the listing. 12 Adriana Lima's Brentwood home could double as a high-fashion fortress. Tyler Hogan 12 The longtime Victoria's Secret Angel and her hubby are listing the heavily fortified estate for $15.995 million. Tyler Hogan 12 The home is completed with an advanced security setup featuring AI-powered cameras and laser beams encircling the property. Tyler Hogan After purchasing it, the couple outfitted the newly built home with a high-tech AI-powered camera system, automated laser beams and 24/7 armed patrol service. 'The property has AI-powered cameras that instantly recognize unfamiliar faces and can alert a live security team within seconds,' listing agent Paul Salazar of Compass told The Post. The 0.34-acre lot holds a five-bedroom, seven-bath main residence and a one-bedroom, one-bath detached guesthouse — totaling six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The gated drive leads to a two-car garage plus space for four additional vehicles. Outdoor amenities include a resort-style pool, mature landscaping, a fire pit, and an outdoor kitchen — with room to add a sports court. 12 The home's foyer. Tyler Hogan 12 They customized it with high-tech defenses, plus bespoke window treatments, antique Parisian streetlamps, and $100,000 in home theater upgrades. Tyler Hogan 12 The kitchen boasts marble countertops and two islands. Tyler Hogan 12 The formal dining room. Tyler Hogan 12 The home's living space. Tyler Hogan Inside, expansive living areas open seamlessly to the grounds. The main kitchen is anchored by dual islands and outfitted with Miele built-ins — including an espresso station, refrigerator, dual dishwashers and a frameless integrated stovetop. A separate chef's kitchen — ideal for staff or events — features an eight-burner Wolf range, additional refrigeration, and a walk-in pantry. Other features include a climate-controlled wine rack, a private theater upgraded with over $100,000 in equipment — and smart-home integration that controls lighting, climate, sound and security from wall-mounted displays or an app. The primary suite has a private terrace with a fireplace, a walk-in closet with custom cabinetry and island drawers with key-card access for valuables. 12 The expansive family room. Tyler Hogan 12 One of the five bedrooms in the main house. There is also a separate bedroom in the guest house. Tyler Hogan 12 An ensuite walk-in closet. Tyler Hogan Lima and Lemmers said in an email that the decision to sell comes as their professional commitments have shifted east. 12 Lima and her husband, film producer Andre Lemmers III, bought the roughly 7,400-square-foot compound in 2022 for $12.35 million. Ouzounova / 'Too much of our personal time was taken away by being on the other side of the country and longer travels,' they told The Journal in an email. The famous couple shouldn't have a problem selling this stunning name because, according to Salazar, demand in Brentwood remains strong, with 'a ton of families looking for a home' even after the post-fire surge earlier this year. Salazar is co-listing the property with Kyle Amicucci and Drew Fenton of Carolwood Estates.
