Filo Livies, including celebrities, had the "guts" to meet the Fil-Am hitmaker Olivia Rodrigo as she held her first-ever concert in the country at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan last Saturday, October 5. 

According to the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series actress, the concert's Manila leg has been her biggest crowd on tour, making her emotional and proud of her Pinoy roots. 

“It’s my first time in the Philippines! This is such a dream come true. Tonight also is extra special because I believe this is the biggest show I ever played in my whole entire life,” she said.

She performed her hits Driver's License, Deja Vu, Good 4 U, Vampire, Traitors, and many more.

Like their fellow fans, celebrities didn't want to miss out on the chance to sing their hearts. 

Ahead is a list of stars and personalities who brought their best fangirl and fanboy selves to the arena. 

Andrea Brillantes

Aside from her viral reaction when Olivia announced that she would be performing in Manila, Andrea Brillantes prolonged her excitement until concert day! 

On Instagram, the High Street star shared that she went home for her love of the singer-actress and came early to her queue number lane to be the first in line. 

"Sa aga ko pumila kaninang umaga, I ended up first in line in my queue number lane. Kaya ako lang tao nandun [because] I line up very early for it. It wasn't VIP treatment or anything magical," she explained.

Zia Dantes

One can't get any "Happier" when your favorite artist waves at you. 

Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera's daughter Zia is a happy Livie as Olivia took notice of her at the GUTS concert.

On the artist's IG, Marian shared that whatever made her daughter happy, she would support it. 

"Kung saan ka masaya, Anak, nandito lang kami para suportahan ka! We love you! @oliviarodrigo Salamat pinasaya mo si Ate Zia," Marian wrote.

Elijah Canlas

Meanwhile, actor Elijah Canlas fulfilled his promise to his late brother JM to take him to Olivia's concert. 

"Just JM and I for the Olivia Rodrigo concert tonight. JM was so obsessed with Olivia—he literally had his own corner of Olivia merch at home. He even made me watch the Disney shows she starred in. That's also why I know most of her songs, he would sing and play them a lot in the car," the actor shared.

Elijah posted a photo of JM backgrounded by the facade of the Philippine Arena. 

He added, "He made me promise to take him to an Olivia Rodrigo concert someday. Oo na... magaling na Olivia mo, JM. Miss Kita! Kahit mag-isa langa ko kanina at may konting buhos ng luha, ramdam kitang sumasabay sa bawat kanta, nakangiti, tumatalon at tunay na maligaya, hope you had fun!"

Sharlene San Pedro

Former Goin' Bulilit star Sharlene San Pedro also sang her heart in the concert! 

On X, she shared some candid photos during the concert with a caption that read. "Ako nung hindi binuksan yung led sa #GUTSWorldTourManila"

Some concertgoers also lauded Sharlene for "lining up fairly" during the concert. 

Niana Guerrero

On her Instagram stories, Niana Guerrero shared snaps from the show.

"@oliviarodrigo HEY CUZZZZZZ," she captioned.

Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho

One user on X spotted dermatologist couple Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho channeling their fan boy and fan girl side at Philippine Arena. Vicki was even seen sporting Olivia's signature purple color.
