<\/p>\nIn a sense, it could all be boiled down to: Rodrigo does what she wants, with little attention paid to how political an artist should be, or what a pop career should look like. Dan Nigro, Rodrigo\u2019s collaborator on all three of her records, says that \u201cthe beauty of Olivia, in general, is that she\u2019s always just doing whatever she wants to do, and exactly how she feels.\u201d This stage of her career, he says, is about her trusting her gut and not paying attention to what she thinks people would want from her.<\/p>\n
This year she\u2019ll fulfill a long-held dream and launch Daisy Chain Fields\u2014a new festival she\u2019s curated, featuring female performers and female-fronted bands. The day we meet, she\u2019s just locked the incredibly stacked lineup, which includes herself, Chappell Roan, Garbage, Doechii, Katseye, Bikini Kill, Santigold, Mitski, the Breeders, and more. She\u2019s also putting on emerging bands and artists like Die Spitz, Eli, and Quiet Light. (\u201cLove her shit so much,\u201d she says of Quiet Light. \u201cAnd she\u2019s, like, a cool Texas girl.\u201d)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Daisy Chain Fields was directly inspired by Lilith Fair, the late-\u201990s music festival cofounded by Sarah McLachlan, which McLachlan created in response to sexist industry claims that said tours wouldn\u2019t sell if they featured more than one woman, and speaks to Rodrigo\u2019s passion for equity for women in music. McLachlan, speaking about the festival years later, said she had \u201crealized early there\u2019s strength in numbers,\u201d and that the sheer market power of having so many famous women on a bill could make a statement. And it did: Brandi Carlile, who attended three Lilith Fairs in her hometown, remembered \u201cwalking through the gates and there were all these women.\u201d Rodrigo wants her fans to have that experience too. \u201cI feel really connected to the young girls that come to my concerts, and the fact that I get to be in the fabric of their lives is a real, true honor that I don\u2019t take lightly,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a sense, it could all be boiled down to: Rodrigo does what she wants, with little attention…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1043317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,102458,77,29683,60816,4714,16,15,4715],"class_list":["post-1043316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-cover-story","tag-entertainment","tag-olivia-rodrigo","tag-onecolumn","tag-textbelowcentergridwidth","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-web"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116795061623962607","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1043316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1043317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1043316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1043316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1043316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
