“Everyone in Olivia’s band and Olivia herself is a huge fan. I was watching them, thinking, ‘This is so cool. They’re playing Jacksons’”: How Turnstile ramped up the shred in Olivia Rodrigo’s live show

Arianna Powell performs onstage with Olivia Rodrigo during BST Hyde Park at Hyde Park on June 27, 2025 in London, England.

Olivia Rodrigo is the biggest guitar artist on the planet right now. A champion of ’90s rock and guitar solos in general – with a tasty arsenal of electrics herself – she is shining a spotlight on the instrument unlike any other artist in pop right now.

Every member of the band gets their moment in her marathon live shows, but none more so than lead guitarist Arianna Powell, a jazz-schooled shredder who has previously torn up the fretboard with Halsey, Nick Jonas and the Black Eyed Peas.
