Olivia Rodrigo Performs The Song 'F--- You' As A Message About Roe v. Wade Being Overturned
American pop singer Olivia Rodrigo performed Saturday at Glastonbury Festival in England and dedicated the song “F--- You” to the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.
Rodrigo, 19, also brought out Lily Allen, 37, the original artist of the song, during the performance.
They went on to sing lyrics: “F--- you, f--- you very, very much/’Cause we hate what you do/And we hate your whole crew.” The song was released in July 2009 and made the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at the time.
“The song is for the justices: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you! We hate you,” Rodrigo said.
“So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this. I’m devastated and terrified. I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a s--- about freedom,” she added.
Glastonbury is a five-day festival currently taking place in Pilton, Somerset.
Multiple artists at Glastonbury, including Billie Eilish and Lorde, criticized the Supreme Court.
“Welcome to sadness. The temperature is unbearable until you face it. You wanna know a secret, girls? Your bodies were destined to be controlled and objectified since before you were born. That horror is your birthright,” Lorde said at the festival.
