Olivia Rodrigo marked a major week on Tuesday night, following the success of her Daisy Chains Festival with a stripped-down, intimate performance at the Grammy Museum. The appearance celebrated the debut of the museum’s new exhibition, “Olivia Rodrigo: the cure unraveled.”
The new Grammy Museum exhibit highlights the creative world behind Rodrigo’s “the cure” music video, from her third and most recent album, “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.” Known for its striking handmade aesthetic, “the cure” unfolds inside a crafted hospital setting and features miniatures, animatronic heart puppets and stop-motion animation. The video was directed by Cat Solen and Jaime Gerin, with production design by Liam Moore.
Visitors will be able to view Rodrigo’s nurse costume along with original props, handmade sets and storyboards used to build the video’s distinctive visual style. The exhibition also includes behind-the-scenes photography and interactive photo opportunities designed for fans to step inside the world of “the cure.”
Guests at Tuesday’s event received an early preview of the exhibit ahead of its Sept. 2 public opening. A larger expansion is planned for early fall 2026, while the current installation is scheduled to remain on view through Feb. 22.
“I grew up going to the Grammy Museum, and their mission is especially important to me, so it’s a full circle moment to be able to work with them on this exhibit,” Rodrigo said. “It’s the perfect place to feature ‘the cure’ music video pieces that mean so much to me, as well as some incredibly special items from the past decade that we’re later adding that I’ve never shown before. I can’t wait for you all to see them in person!”

On The Red Carpet spoke with Grammy Museum curator Kelsey Goelz, who told us this about Rodrigo, “It’s been so cool to have her here. She grew up coming here as a student, as a home-schooled student. So, a really full circle moment to see her get inspired by this place, and also be inspiring to the people who love her.”
Goelz also explained, “It’s this really special moment to not only see the hand-crafted work up close, but also to, you know, do a little, pretending you’re Olivia. Get your photos in the music video, maybe sing along. You know, you can also see all the different props from the video that were made by hand, by artists up close. We really love to look at the creative process, so we get to see Olivia’s process and all these amazing contributors.”
