Olivia Rodrigobrought out the Cure's lead singer,Robert Smith, during her headlining performance at Glastonbury on Sunday, July 29, and it sent fans into a spiral on social media. "He's perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England," the "deja vu" artist, 22, told the crowd before Robert, 66, joined her on the Pyramid Stage, as seen in a clip shared byVarietyviaInstagram. "He is a Glastonbury legend and a personal hero of mine. Would you please welcome, Robert Smith!" Robert appeared on stage as he donned a shimmery black blazer, his signature makeup and a guitar in hand. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame star's ensemble was a nice contrast from Olivia's outfit, as she donned a white corset mini dress. The duo went on to perform the Cure's hit songs "Just Like Heaven" and "Friday I'm in Love." Olivia fangirled onstage during the joint performance, telling the crowd, "Holy f--king s--t, this is the most people I've ever seen in my entire life. This is a dream come true, I actually can't believe this is my life right now." Clips of the performance went viral on social media, leading fans of both the Grammy-nominated artists to swoon over the unpredictable collaboration. "All of these music legends embracing her, I am shook actually," one fan wrote via X on June 29, in response to a clip of the show. In the comments section of a separate post, fans raved over the former Disney star's decision to bring Robert out as her surprise guest at the England-based music festival held at Worthy Farm. "Will admit I was suspicious of her getting a headline slot, but she's shown she's earned it with this tonight," a second fan wrote. Meanwhile, other spectators made it clear that it was a big deal for Robert to accept Olivia's invitation to join her on stage. "Now, SHE is an artist. Says a lot about her talent that Robert Smith would do that for her," a fan wrote in the comments section ofVariety's Instagram post. "I can think of most pop stars he would never do that for. Most of them probably don't even know who he is." A second person added, "I'm extremely surprised to see him doing this! Wow! I love it tho!" 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Rock Legend, 66, Makes Shocking Appearance With Pop Star at Glastonburyfirst appeared on Parade on Jun 30, 2025 This story was originally reported byParadeon Jun 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
