Olivia Rodrigo stuns Glastonbury with surprise guest and song fans 'didn't know we needed'

Olivia Rodrigo closed this year's Glastonbury with a performance to remember. Taking to the stage in a short white corseted dress, the American looked in awe of the sheer volume of people who had came to see her on the Pyramid Stage.

Playing her biggest hits, including Drivers Licence, Vampire and Traitor, Olivia showcased her talents with flawless vocals and impressive piano skills. However, it was a surprise guest appearance that had fans gobsmacked.

The American singer songwriter welcomed singer-songwriter Robert Smith to perform a double of duets. And it was their performance of Friday I'm In Love that had fans gasping.

On Twitter/X, one stunned user wrote: "Jfc I didn’t realise I needed Olivia Rodrigo singing Friday im in love so much." Another added: "Robert Smith coming out to sing Friday I’m in Love with Olivia Rodrigo is a pure Glastonbury moment."

A third said: "Olivia Rodrigo bringing Robert Smith on and doing Friday I’m in Love was not on my Glasto bingo card but wow," while a fourth claimed: "I NEED TO GO TO AN OLIVIA RODRIGO'S CONCERT."

Her epic performance comes after another recent gig in London at BST Hyde Park left fans stunned with another huge surprise performer. On Friday, the Drivers Licence singer shocked fans as she welcomed Ed Sheeran to the stage with her.

She sent fans wild as she introduced him as "one of the best songwriters of all time". It's far from the first time the Shape Of You singer has turned up at someone else's show, having previously joined the likes of Taylor Swift and Stormzy.

And he was full of praise for Olivia post show. Taking to Instagram following his outing, he said: "Been a fan of Olivia's since Drivers License blew my mind back at the start of 2021. Both albums are no skips for me. I'm a proper fan."

Ed added: "Was gonna go watch the show anyway but she hit me and asked to sing The A Team with her, which was such a buzz. That song turns 15 this year, and I remember playing it to rooms with no one in it in 2010, so to still be playing it to new fans with one of the brightest stars of the next generation is an honour and a privilege."

Prior to her huge closing set, Olivia spoke to the XM CBS channel in the United States. She explained how she sees Morissette and No Doubt frontman turned solo artist Gwen Stefani as a great inspiration for longevity in music.

She said:"I love Alanis. She's so gracious too. I look at her and I talk to her and I'm like, that's how I want to live my life. I feel like she's got it right.

"With Gwen I really love he way that she sort of straddled rock and pop in a really cool way. I think she's super adventurous and takes risks, so I really look up to her. But who's to say, I don't know. I don't know where I'm going to be tomorrow, let alone in five years.”

She also teased a potential venture away from music in the near future. "I love telling stories in songs, and if there was a story that I felt like really resonated with me in a film, I would love to do that too," she said. "I don't quite know yet, but I'm very open to it."

And he also wished Olivia luck ahead of her Glastonbury show, saying: "Rock Glasto headline Sunday @oliviaarodrigo, UK loves you x"
