Olivia Rodrigo took the stage at FireAid near the end of the evening and performed her breakthrough hits “Driver’s License” and “Deja Vu.”

“Thank you guys so much for having me,” she told the crowd before launching into “Deja Vu.” “Thank you so much for being here. It has been heartbreaking to witness all this devastation in this incredible city. I love L.A. I have lived in L.A. my whole life. I find this place so beautiful and so inspiring. I have written so many songs about living here, like this one.”

Rodrigo spent most of 2024 on the road, completing her world tour in support of sophomore album Guts. More than 1.4 million people attended her 95 shows, which collectively grossed $186.6 million — making it the highest-grossing tour by an artist born this century. (She’ll be wrapping a few more shows in South America and England this spring and summer.) In October of last year, Rodrigo released the Guts World Tour film on Netflix, shapes around her hometown shows in Los Angeles.

“I get really nervous for the LA and New York shows because all my friends are there, and so having it be filmed was also just another element of nerve-wracking,” she told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. “But it was really special to film that in my hometown. I think I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have such a connection to LA, and LA has served as so much inspiration for me over the years. It felt serendipitous.

The FireAid event — hosted at neighboring arenas Kia Forum and Intuit Dome in Inglewood — was broadcast internationally at select AMC Theatres, iHeartRadio, Apple Music, Netflix, Paramount+, Prime Video, Max, SiriusXM, SoundCloud, Veeps and YouTube. The star-studded lineup included Lady Gaga, No Doubt, John Mayer, and more.
