After becoming the dominant breakout pop star for practically all of 2021, Olivia Rodrigo is ready to embark on her first tour.

And the 33-date North American tour — kicking off April 2 in San Francisco — includes a Milwaukee stop. Rodrigo will perform at the Rave's 3,500-person-capacity Eagles Ballroom, on April 19.

Rodrigo, a star of Disney Channel's "Bizaardvark" and "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" on Disney+, practically became a household name at the start of 2021 with her runaway debut single "Drivers License." Just a few days after its release, the tender post-breakup ballad became the most-streamed song in a single week on streaming service Spotify. The 18-year-old became the youngest artist to have a song debut at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, where it remained at No. 1 for eight weeks.

But Rodrigo quickly proved she wouldn't be a one-hit wonder. The pop-punk-leaning "Good 4 U" debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in May, the same month her debut album, "Sour," was released. Featuring other hits including "Deja Vu" and "Traitor," "Sour" spent four weeks in the top spot on the Billboard 200.

Rodrigo is up for seven Grammys next month, including in all "big four" categories: album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist.
