Olivia Rodrigo and Sheryl Crow Surprise Fans with Duet at Bluebird Café
Nashville, TN – In a performance that delighted music lovers, 20-year-old singer Olivia Rodrigo was joined by renowned singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow for a surprise duet at the historic Bluebird Café in Nashville. The pair performed an intimate, stripped-down rendition of Crow’s hit song “If It Makes You Happy,” leaving fans in awe.
Rodrigo took to her Instagram page to share a snippet of the performance, along with a sweet photo of her and Crow posing together. The video shows the duo sitting side-by-side on the small stage at the Bluebird Café, softly crooning the iconic chorus of the song. Crow accompanied Rodrigo on the guitar, adding to the intimate atmosphere.
“Pinch me!” Rodrigo captioned her post. “Sang one of my favorite songs of all time with the greatest of all time @sherylcrow!!!! what an honor!!!!”
Crow also expressed her joy at the surprise performance, resharing Rodrigo’s post on her own Instagram account and calling Rodrigo a “brilliant” talent and a “lovely young woman.” She further praised Rodrigo’s vocal skills in her Instagram Story, stating, “She is just really good, y’all!”
Videos posted by fans on social media platforms such as Twitter showed Rodrigo’s visit to the Bluebird Café, where she performed several tracks from her recently released sophomore album, “Guts.” Among the songs performed were “Lacy,” “Vampire,” and “Making the Bed.”
Interestingly, Crow and Rodrigo first crossed paths at Billboard’s 2022 Women in Music event, where Crow presented Rodrigo with the prestigious “Woman of the Year” honor. Rodrigo expressed her excitement and gratitude for the recognition, calling it “absolutely surreal.”
When asked by Entertainment Tonight what she would tell her younger self, Rodrigo shared that she would advise herself to “keep working hard” and reassured herself that everything would eventually work out.
Rodrigo’s album “Guts” made headlines even before its release due to speculation that one of the tracks, “Vampire,” was about her ex-boyfriend, Zack Bia. However, the DJ denied this in an interview with GQ, stating that he didn’t believe the song was about him and that their relationship didn’t end in any drama.
Despite the speculation surrounding her love life, Rodrigo’s music continues to captivate audiences. Her debut album was rumored to be about her failed romance with co-star Joshua Bassett, and she was later linked to producer Adam Faze before their breakup in early 2022. Rodrigo and Bia also called it quits in August 2022.
In a recent interview for Vogue’s August issue, Rodrigo reflected on growing up in the spotlight and dealing with the public’s interest in her relationships. She acknowledged that while she understands why people are curious, she also finds herself engaging in the same curiosity about others.
The “Guts” album, according to Rodrigo, is about “figuring stuff out, about failures and successes and making mistakes.” When asked about the specifics of those mistakes, she playfully directed listeners to the album itself.
The surprise duet between Olivia Rodrigo and Sheryl Crow at the Bluebird Café was a magical moment that showcased the talents of two incredible artists. Fans were treated to an unforgettable performance that further solidified Rodrigo’s rising star status in the music industry.
