Zara Larsson publicly praised Olivia Rodrigo on Instagram after the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival, which Rodrigo organised and headlined over the weekend at Great Park in Irvine, California. The Swedish pop star called Rodrigo "a brilliant talent with a beautiful heart," reflecting the wider music industry's warm response to a new woman-led festival designed to celebrate female artists while raising money for causes supporting women and girls.

The festival featured a lineup including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks, and had a significant charitable dimension: Rodrigo announced on stage alongside Melinda French Gates that $20 million would go to ten nonprofit organisations, with Gates pledging a further $10 million in matched funding. The event caps a strong year for Rodrigo, who recently notched her third consecutive Billboard 200 number one album, while Larsson has also enjoyed chart success, including two consecutive first-week number ones on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart.
