Pop star Olivia Rodrigo ran the first ever Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival on Aug. 29 in Irvine California, and it’s what The New Yorker is calling “The Zoomer Lilith Fair.”

The day of fundraising, music and women supporting women made me proud to be a fan of Rodrigo, almost as much as it made me jealous I wasn’t in Irvine. She’s only one year older than me, so I really feel like I need to step it up with my endeavors after seeing what a success Daisy Chain turned out to be.

It featured 14 performances from music’s leading women artists including Rodrigo herself. Special guests like Stevie Nicks, Lilith Fair cofounder Sarah McLachlan, Chappell Roan, Katseye and Doechii made appearances.

They sold handcrafted goods from women-led businesses, and worked with a number of different non-profit organizations including Planned Parenthood and the National Women’s Law Center.

“It’s a real honor to announce that we are donating $10 million to be given directly to these 10 non-profit partners that you just had the pleasure of hearing about,” Rodrigo said at a news conference attended by the 10 participating organizations that advocate for women and girls.

Additionally, Rodrigo revealed that Melinda French Gates was to double the festival fund, bringing the total profits to $20 million for all the organizations Rodrigo paired with, according to a post from Rodrigo’s instagram.

Though I wasn’t personally able to attend, I felt like I was contributing to the cause by streaming “Serena Joy,” the song Rodrigo dropped just days before Daisy Chain. A portion of the proceeds for the song went to the festival’s fund. It helped that I actually really like the song, but knowing that just listening to a track was giving support to the organizations she cares so deeply for, made me feel seen in some small way. She let me support her with my ears if not with my wallet.

The festival was attended by 45,000 people, and seemingly, all went well. It was a one-day event, so the big stars only got to perform some of their biggest hits. For example, I seriously doubt Roan would wow the crowd with “Kaleidoscope,” a personal favorite of mine from her discography. However, every crowd loves a “Hot To Go” opportunity so I guess I can understand the lapse in the “Naomi’s favorite tunes” part of the show.

Compared to other festivals we’ve seen try and fail to get off the ground — such as “TanaCon” or “Fyre Festival” — Rodrigo knocked it out of the park.

Yes, I’m a fan. But with all her work investing in causes she believes in while finding a way to connect her music to all of it, Rodrigo is so easy to support.
