News summary

Olivia Rodrigo headlined the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2025, delivering a dynamic performance that included hits from her albums Sour and Guts, such as "good 4 u" and "traitor." A highlight of her set was the surprise appearance of Robert Smith, frontman of The Cure, with whom she performed the classic songs "Friday I'm in Love" and "Just Like Heaven." Rodrigo expressed admiration for Smith, calling him "probably the greatest songwriter to come out of England" and shared a personal dedication of her song "So American" to her British boyfriend, highlighting cultural differences.

Rodrigo's collaboration with Smith was widely praised, cementing her as an inspired choice for the iconic festival's headline spot. This performance continued Rodrigo's trend of high-profile guest appearances, following her collaborations with David Byrne and Ed Sheeran at other major events.
