Last Saturday evening, Sarah McLachlan made a special appearance at Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields, an all-female music and activist showcase that raised an impressive $20 million for pro-women nonprofit organizations. You may know the Canadian singer-songwriter for her trailblazing work founding Lilith Fair, Daisy Chain’s predecessor, or soundtracking many weepy tortured-puppy ASPCA ads. But after this weekend, let us also honor her massive guns.
McLachlan’s ripped biceps were on full display as she performed her hits “Building a Mystery” and “Angel” — the latter of which she dedicated to the late Dolly Parton — in a flowy pink sundress, Rodrigo singing beside her. They dazzled as she gripped her mic and strummed her guitar.

Let’s be clear. These are not Gabby George bridal arms. They are a deadlifter’s arms. “I don’t need no damn man because I can open that Talenti pint myself” arms. In the event of an emergency, McLachlan looks like she could have fireman-carried the entire Daisy Chain lineup to safety.
In a Rolling Stone interview published Thursday, McLachlan praised Rodrigo and Daisy Chain: “We need opportunities to celebrate, and to celebrate each other, and also to have these opportunities to lift up really important messages that we all believe in.” Sarah, let us know what else we should be lifting.
The Cut has reached out to McLachlan’s team for details about her arm routine. We will update this post if we hear back.
