She said: “Today is a very special day because it’s actually my first Glastonbury and I’m sharing the stage with Lily, which is the biggest dream come true. “But I’m also equally as heartbroken over what happened in America yesterday.The Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe v Wade, which is a law that ensures a woman’s right to receive abortion and other basic human rights.
“I’m devastated and terrified, so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this.” As she introduced Lily’s hit song, she added: “I wanted to dedicate this next song to five members of the Supreme Court who have shown us that at the end of the day they truly don’t give a s**t about freedom.” As Olivia's band played the opening chords the crowd erupted into cheers. Olivia and Lily are just a number of musicians of have come out to condemn the decision, including Billie Eilish, Idles, and Phoebe Bridgers.
