Zara Larsson Praises Olivia Rodrigo After Daisy Chain Fields Festival: ‘A Brilliant Talent With a Beautiful Heart’

Zara Larsson is giving Olivia Rodrigo her flowers following the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival.

The Swedish pop star took to her Instagram Story on Monday to praise Rodrigo for her work on the newly launched festival, which took place over the weekend at Great Park in Irvine, California.

“So in awe of this young woman,” Larsson wrote. “What an amazing person! I’m such a fan of everything she is and stands for. Inspiring! Fantastic! A brilliant talent with a beautiful heart! Olivia, the world LOVES you.”

Larsson’s message comes after Rodrigo wrapped the first-ever Daisy Chain Fields, a woman-led music festival that brought together artists including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks. The event was designed to celebrate women in music while supporting organizations that advocate for women and girls.

The festival also made a major philanthropic impact. Rodrigo announced onstage alongside Melinda French Gates that $20 million would be donated to 10 nonprofit organizations, with Gates pledging an additional $10 million to match the amount already being contributed.

Daisy Chain Fields is another milestone that Rodrigo has achieved during a substantial year. The singer recently earned her third straight No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, while she continues to make noise with major chart success and other career endeavors.

For her part, Larsson’s “Midnight Sun” climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart in June, marking her second leader on the list, a week after her and PinkPantheress’ “Stateside” reached the top spot. She became the first artist ever to post two initial No. 1s in consecutive weeks, dating to the chart’s October 1992 start.
