hey olivia rodrigo, can we talk?
Honestly, congrats on all the success these past few past years; you are the first artist to have lead singles from all three of your albums debut at No. 1, all of your albums debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and your debut album, Sour, was Spotify’s most-streamed album all time by a female artist.
You continuously pave the way for emerging artists, have shown young women that you can most definitely turn your worst heartbreaks into stories of success and breakthrough, but the worst decision in your career?
The Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival, which took place in Irvine, California, this past summer. You founded and created an all-women music festival that featured strong voices from the industry: Chappell Roan and Doechii were two of the vocalists featured in the lineup. Making special guest appearances were Stevie Nicks and Alanis Morissette.
And what made the Daisy Chain Fields Festival stand out was the charitable impact that came from ticket sales. Artists performed without payment, raising $20 million for charities supporting women and girls.
The top charity that you donated to was Planned Parenthood. The company was widely promoting its ‘healthcare’ motto with booths at your music festival.
It’s not the first time you have openly shown your verbal and financial support of them either. In 2024, you partnered with local reproductive rights groups to distribute free birth control and condoms.
You are fully aware that your age demographic is primarily people between the ages of 15-25, with children ages 10-14 years old coming in at a close second. You knew that these kids would be coming to your concert, where you willingly agreed or came up with the idea to hand out birth control and condoms at your concerts TO. CHILDREN.
Not only is this a disgusting and tacky way to impose your beliefs and propaganda onto children, but the fact that you are promoting to your fans that they are old enough to partake in sex, yet not mature enough to understand that sex can result in a child — and that they would be responsible for that child — is vile. But wait! If they conceive a child ‘by accident,’ they can simply kill that child instead. The hypocrisy of that message is plain evil.
Olivia, I don’t know if you know the ins and outs of abortion. Odds are, you don’t because Hollywood, Society, and the people who are around you in the entertainment world don’t want you to know. Because if you knew the reality of abortion, you would be disgusted and sick about how violent these procedures are, the physical and emotional consequences that the mother will carry with her throughout her entire life, severe risks and complications, and the reality of ending a pregnancy, which is ending a life. I believe you would think twice about how casually you encourage young people to view abortion as healthcare and a solution.
Please educate yourself on abortion; watch the videos, watch a baby get clamped down on with the forceps and be torn apart. Read the thousands of stories by women who regret their abortion more than anything and how it changed their lives for the worse. Learn what this really entails and look beyond the sanitized language that Planned Parenthood and other ‘women’s healthcare ’ use.
And Olivia, lastly, if it weren’t for the last generation choosing life, you wouldn’t have any fans in the stands, any supporters listening to your music, or any audience to indoctrinate with your ideology.
Before you tell the next generation that their children are disposable, remember they are at your concerts, giving you millions, because someone chose life for them. It’s always that, Olivia; the people who already have lives are the same people who seem to think they can choose to take life away from someone else.
