Olivia Rodrigo kicked off her Unraveled Tour in Hartford, Connecticut, with a set spanning her latest music and fan-favorite songs from her earlier albums. One of the biggest talking points from the opening night was the return of “Deja Vu,” a song that has remained closely associated with her breakthrough era.
Olivia Rodrigo gave fans a nostalgic moment during the opening night of her Unraveled Tour in Hartford, Connecticut, when “Deja Vu” returned to the live set.
The singer opened the tour at PeoplesBank Arena, launching a new concert production built around four seasonal acts: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The show combines material from Rodrigo’s latest album with songs from her previous releases, giving longtime listeners several opportunities to revisit familiar tracks.
Among those moments, “Deja Vu” quickly became a major talking point among fans sharing clips and reactions online.

During the Unraveled Tour production, the song appears in two different portions of the show, including a shorter interlude and a full performance during the encore. The latter placement gives the track a prominent role toward the end of the concert.
The Hartford performance also included songs such as “All American Bitch” and “Expectations” during the encore, creating a closing section that connects different stages of Rodrigo’s career.
Fan-shot footage from the concert circulated across social media, with viewers focusing particularly on the transition surrounding “Deja Vu” and the reaction inside the arena.

Why ‘Deja Vu’ remains an important Olivia Rodrigo song
Released in 2021, “Deja Vu” was an early indication of Rodrigo’s ability to combine emotionally direct songwriting with an accessible pop sound.
The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, further establishing Rodrigo as one of the most prominent young artists of her generation.
Its return to the Unraveled Tour is therefore more than a simple addition to a setlist. For fans who followed Rodrigo from the Sour era, the performance provides a direct connection between her debut period and her current stage production.
Unraveled Tour combines new music with Rodrigo’s earlier hits
The new tour follows Rodrigo’s earlier Sour Tour and Guts World Tour.
Her latest concert production is structured around the themes of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, with each section featuring a different collection of songs.
“Drop Dead,” identified as the opening number in the supplied setlist, starts the performance before the show moves through tracks from Rodrigo’s newer material and established catalog.
The format also gives songs from different periods of her career a place within the same concert rather than presenting the set as a straightforward chronological retrospective.
Fans revisit Rodrigo’s earlier eras
For fans, the inclusion of “Deja Vu,” “Traitor,” “Favorite Crime” and “Drivers License” provides several reminders of the songwriting style that first brought Rodrigo widespread attention.
At the same time, newer songs such as “Drop Dead,” “Stupid Song” and “The Cure” represent the direction of her current live show.
That combination is one of the defining features of the Unraveled Tour: familiar songs are positioned alongside newer material, allowing the setlist to appeal to listeners who discovered Rodrigo at different points in her career.
