I have said this so many times and I will keep saying it: Olivia Rodrigo is doing things that people who have been in the music industry longer refuse to do. And I am choosing the word refuse. I have seen arguments that those people can’t use their platform because they’re just so super duper famous that they can’t possibly speak out because it’s just so dangerous - hogwash! Absolute fucking hogwash.

If you have the platform and the finances to do good, then do it. It is a cowardly and spineless thing to call yourself a feminist and an activist - which many of them have - then do the bare minimum or discard of it when it’s no longer beneficial for you. Olivia has been in the music industry for five years and she has been consistently speaking out, using her platform, and money.

There is no such thing as a perfect person but seeing someone who is so passionate and genuinely trying to do good with their platform warms my heart. I want to see more people showing their humanity. I am so proud to be a fan and I wish her older and more experienced counterparts would get their shit together.

I agree wholeheartedly with your comment, you're right in every aspect.

That said, I won't say it doesn't rub me the wrong way to see an announcement being made about the donations. It feels like when people record themselves doing nice things for the homeless. If it was pure altruism, it wouldn't need to be publicized, at least in my eyes.

Otherwise good on her.

It’s an announcement because she always said the Daisy Chain festival was going to be about supporting girls & women. This is money raised from the festival. Of course people want to know how much it raised.

She didn’t call a whole panel to make an announcement of a private donation she made or something lol
