Olivia Rodrigo raises $20 million for womens' charities at Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival
Irvine, California - Olivia Rodrigo's debut one-day Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival managed to raise a whopping $20 million for nonprofits benefiting women and girls. Here are the top moments from the event!
The scorching heat of the day didn't stop the inauguaral event healined and engineered by the Guts singer.
The highly anticipated event had a few standout moments, chief among them perhaps being the moment when it was revealed that philanthropist Melinda French Gates had matched the $10 million already raised at the festival.
This move brought the total amount to $20 million!
100% of the net proceeds from ticket sales will go to the charitable partners such as Planned Parenthood, Center for Reproductive Rights, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health, National Women’s Law Center, and more.
Other big moments of the day include Olivia singing a duet of Landslide with music legend Stevie Nicks, a rare set from pop sensation Chappell Roan in a chic stewardess-inspired getup, a surprise appearance from romembers of KATSEYE after the girl group pulled out from the lineup at the last minute, and a performance from singer and Lilith Fair founder Sarah McLachlan.
At the end of her set, Olivia said "see you next year" to the screaming sea of fans. For anyone who couldn't nab tickets to this quickly sold-out festival, that statement may mean that we'll all get another chance!
