Olivia Rodrigo says she sleeps 13 hours a day to cope with exhaustion of touring
Olivia Rodrigo has said that she sometimes sleeps for 13 hours at a time when on tour because it’s so tiring.
The artist, who just wrapped up her huge ‘GUTS’ world tour, recently spoke to Complex about her life on the road.
“Well, I sleep so much on tour. I sleep for 13 hours a day sometimes. I’m so exhausted,” she told the outlet. “So that passes a lot of the time. But I’ve just been reading and I’ve been watching all of my comfort shows. I’ve been watching Sex and the City every day to make myself feel like I’m grounded and at home.”
Rodrigo is based in LA and when she plays shows at the Kia Forum, she’s able to go home and sleep in her own bed.
“It’s amazing. It’s kind of weird, I’ve been on tour for so long in various cities around the world, so it’s interesting to just wake up in my own bed and be like, ‘Oh, time to play a show today!’ It throws off my routine a little bit, but it’s so nice to be home and have all my friends and family come to the shows. It’s a really good vibe.”
Last month, Rodrigo threw her support behind Kamala Harris for the next US President over her stance on reproductive rights.
Rodrigo posted a video on her Instagram stories today (July 24) from @thenewsmovement showing Harris criticising opponent and former President Donald Trump for his stance on abortion.
In the clip, Harris says: “And we who believe in reproductive freedom will stop Donald Trump’s extreme abortion bans because we trust women to make decisions about their own body and not have their government tell them what to do.
“And when Congress passes a law to restore reproductive freedoms as president of the United States, I will sign it into law.”
