Olivia Rodrigo, Lily Allen and other musicians have expressed shock at the recent ruling revoking Roe v. Wade.
The crowd at the Glastonbury Festival went wild when Rodrigo performed a flaming version of Allen’s 2009 famed “F— You” with Allen herself.
“I’m devastated and terrified that so many women and so many girls are going to die because of this,” the hit singer stated. “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.”
The camera captured Allen pointing her middle finger while Rodrigo mentioned the justices’ names – Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh.
“We hate you!” she shouted ahead of her, and Allen started her song.

The two singers were not alone in their criticism of the Supreme Court’s recent decision to drop federal protections for abortion rights that have been installed since the 1970s. Phoebe Bridgers ushered the crowd during her performance on Friday to chant “f— the Supreme Court.”
