For one day, American pop star Olivia Rodrigo brought together her idols. Saturday August 29, in Irvine (California), the Canadian Alanis Morissette, Stevie Nicks, of the group Fleetwood Mac, or the young virtuoso from the Midwest Chappell Roan took the stage of Daisy Chain Fields, the festival created by the 23-year-old singer. Inspired by Lilith Fair, a traveling music festival from the late 1990s featuring only female artists, the first edition of the event attracted more than 45,000 people, the vast majority of whom were spectators. The $10 million in profits, matched by a donation from Melinda French Gates, were donated to women’s rights organizations. On stage, microphone in hand, the young artist declared: “I truly believe that giving women the tools to decide their future and live their lives without violence or discrimination remains the best way to improve the world. »

Like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera before her, Olivia Rodrigo first got noticed on the children’s and teen channel Disney Channel, where, from 2016, she played a guitarist in the sitcom Frankie and Paige. Inspired by Taylor Swift, the young woman rose to the top of the music charts from her first titles, which interweave references to rock from the 1990s and 2000s with modern pop. In 2021, the new darling of the American music scene took advantage of her sudden celebrity to launch a vaccination campaign in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, from the White House in Washington, DC, alongside Democrat Joe Biden, then president.
