“It\u2019s moments like that where I feel music is just so magical that you just can\u2019t really describe it,” singer says of playing iconic U.K. fest<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\tOlivia Rodrigo<\/a> revealed in a new interview that she nearly suffered an \u201canxiety attack\u201d before her headlining performance<\/a> at Glastonbury<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n \n\tSpeaking to the BBC<\/a> ahead of her new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/em> \u2014 and fresh off a surprise set<\/a> at this week\u2019s Primavera Sound in Barcelona \u2014 Rodrigo talked about her stress of headlining the U.K.\u2019s most iconic festival prior to taking the stage.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI remember having a near-anxiety attack in the bathroom, like, \u2018How am I going to do this? I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m ready,\u2019\u201d Rodrigo said. \u201cBut something overcame me the second I stepped on stage and started singing. I felt totally calm and so in my element. I\u2019m not very spiritual or religious, but it\u2019s moments like that where I feel music is just so magical that you just can\u2019t really describe it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tRodrigo, who previously performed at on a smaller Glastonbury stage in 2022, added that the headlining performance became \u201cprobably the best weekend\u201d of her life, thanks in part to sharing the stage<\/a> with the Cure\u2019s Robert Smith; that singer ended up becoming a huge influence<\/a> on You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/em>.<\/p>\n
