Today's featured article Rodrigo performing "All-American Bitch" "All-American Bitch" is a 2023 song by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo (pictured) from her second studio album, Guts. Lyrically, it is satire and explores Rodrigo's concerns about society's double standards and contradictory expectations for women. Rodrigo co-wrote the song with its producer, Dan Nigro, and believed it captured feelings repressed since age 15. It begins as a folk song and transitions into pop-punk during the chorus, incorporating influences of punk, rock, grunge, and pop rock. "All-American Bitch" was viewed as a successful opening track that appealed to Generation Z by music critics, who praised Rodrigo's vocals and the production. The song reached number 13 in the US and the top 10 in Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. Rodrigo performed it on Saturday Night Live, where she stabbed a red-colored cake at a tea party and splattered it on her face; the performance received positive reviews. She also included it on the set list of the 2024–2025 Guts World Tour. (Full article...) Recently featured: Sun Steele's Greenville expedition Edward the Martyr On this day...
