SPEECH FOR BRAND MANAGER

Hi bestie! Welcome to the advanced listening party for Olivia Rodrigo's highly
anticipated second studio album GUTS. I'm Enzo Valdez, the brand manager of
UMG Philippines, and I'm thrilled you could join us for this special event!

Olivia's first album SOUR captured the hearts of music lovers everywhere with
its raw and emotional storytelling. Her honest lyrics and powerful vocals
resonated deeply with young people, creating a whole new generation of livies.
GUTS promises to take Olivia's songwriting to the next level with even more
heartbreak, angst, and empowerment.

We'll be the first in the Philippines to hear the new songs from GUTS, so get
ready for your heart and ears to be blown away. Olivia has said this album is
more rock influenced and shows a different side of her artistry. I can't wait to
hear how she has grown as an artist since SOUR. The livies here tonight will get
to share in this experience together before anyone else in the country, so soak
it all in!

The album will officially release worldwide on Friday, but we get to jam out to it
right here and right now. So turn up the volume, grab your favorite snack, and
get ready to sing along at the top of your lungs with your fellow livies! Olivia
Rodrigo is here to change the game once again, and we get front row seats. I
have a feeling GUTS is about to become your new favorite album of the year.
Enjoy the music, bestie!
