Olivia Rodrigo made a statement at her first Glastonbury festival on Saturday as she brought out surprise guest, Lily Allen, to sing her 2009 hit « F— You » song, and dedicated the anthem to the Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v Wade just the day before. Rodrigo, 19, introduced « incredible songwriter and artist » Allen to the stage and said: « Today is a very, very special day. This is actually my first Glastonbury, and I’m sharing the stage with Lily which is the biggest dream come true ever. But I’m also equally as heartbroken over what happened in America yesterday. »
The decision made by SCOTUS on Friday effectively ended recognition of a constitutional right to abortion which has been in place since 1973, and gives individual states the power to allow, limit or ban the healthcare practice altogether.
« The Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe v Wade which is a law that ensures a woman’s right to a safe abortion, another basic human right », Rodrigo said to the thousands of fans watching her first performance at the massive outdoor show.
« I’m devastated and terrified and so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this and I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day they truly don’t give a s— about freedom. »
A roar of applause thundered through the audience as Rodrigo addressed the crowd at Worthy Farm in Somerset South West England just before sunset.
« This song goes out to the justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh », the Sour singer said.
