Alex Rodriguez Documents ‘Life as a Teenager’s Dad’ Taking His Daughter to Olivia Rodrigo’s Concert
Alex Rodriguez was in total dad mode at Olivia Rodrigo’s concert Wednesday night (March 6). After working all day, the 48-year-old sports broadcaster rallied his energy to make one of his teenage daughter’s dreams come true by taking her to the Guts World Tour stop in Miami, which he documented in a relatable Instagram video.
“All right I’ve been filming all day, I’ve never been more tired,” he says in the clip as he and 15-year-old Ella, whom Rodriguez shares with Cynthia Scurtis, walk to their seats in Kaseya Center. “Now I’m at a Rodrigo …”
After Ella reminds him of the “Drivers License” singer’s first name, the former Yankees star continues, “… [an] Olivia Rodrigo concert surrounded by 22,000 teenage girls, and all I wanna do is go to sleep.”
“Oh man, here we go, here goes nothing,” he adds. “Wish me luck — Rodrigo here we go!”
The video then cuts to Rodriguez and his daughter enjoying the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series alum’s performance of her Guts lead single “Vampire,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks last summer. “POV: Life as a Teenager’s Dad,” the retired athlete wrote in text over the clip. “Rodrigo is pretty good TBH.”
On Instagram, Rodriguez – who also shares 19-year-old daughter Natasha with Scurtis — added in his caption, “Props @oliviarodrigo… I won’t mess up your name next time 😂.”
Rodrigo’s first-ever arena tour kicked off Feb. 23, and has so far seen the Grammy winner play shows in Phoenix, three cities in Texas, New Orleans and Orlando in addition to Miami. Next, she’ll take the trek to Spectrum Center in Charlotte Friday (March 8) before setting up shop at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville the day after.
Rodriguez’s clip was posted the same day Rodrigo poked fun at a viral TikTok in which the creator mistakenly called her by the former shortstop’s last name. “Olivia Rodriguez, the li’l Mexican girl that be crying,” the apparently confused user said in their video, which the singer, who is of Filippino descent, then recreated while biting into a Guts-themed Crumbl cookie.
