Three years ago, Olivia Rodrigo debuted in the world of music in style with her Drivers license, with which she managed to reach number one in several countries around the world. Since then, her musical career has been meteoric, winning three Grammy Awards. This joins her past as an actress in fictions such as High School Musical: the musical: the series.
With this success it is not surprising that he is performing concerts in various cities. And it was in Missouri where she wanted to make a vindictive gesture to fight against the law that prohibits abortions there from 2022.
The singer did not hesitate to distribute condoms and morning-after pills to her fans present at the performance. A practical way of shouting that she does not agree with what was decided a year ago. Anyone could get, if they wanted, one of these packs, which were also accompanied by clear explanations of use.
An act that has generated numerous applause and at the same time negative comments. And the pills that were distributed were not contraceptives, but abortifacients. With this batch he also wanted to put on the table the existence of sexually transmitted diseases and the high price of these products in the United States.
Such is her commitment to the cause, that Olivia Rodrigo did not hesitate to raise her voice on several occasions just after the approval of said law. “I’m devastated and terrified. So many women and so many girls are going to die from this. I wanted to dedicate the following song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have shown us that at the end of the day, they really don’t give a shit about freedom,” he stated in his concert at the Glastonbury Festival.
“The song is for the judges: Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. We hate you!” he added, exposing the people in charge of this case.
And it is not the only time that he wanted to speak clearly at one of his concerts. In that same year she went with her tour to Washington, where an attempt was also made to abolish the abortion law. “Our bodies should never be in the hands of politicians. I hope we can raise our voices to protect our right to a free abortion, a right that many people before us have worked hard to achieve,” she said.
If anything has become clear over these years, it is that Olivia Rodrigo takes advantage of the loudspeaker she has earned to claim everything she believes is right. Part of the money she earns on this tour, in which she will also go to the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, ??will go to a charitable foundation that she created to fight for women’s reproductive rights and against gender violence.
