Turns out, Olivia Rodrigo is just as thoughtful behind the scenes as she is onstage. According to her guitarist Daisy Spencer, the 22-year-old pop star made a powerful gesture while on tour: she paid for therapy for the entire crew.
In a new episode of The Stageleft Podcast (released June 30), Daisy revealed that Olivia and her tour manager Marty Hom provided free and accessible therapy for all touring personnel during the Guts World Tour.
“On the Guts World Tour, Olivia and our tour manager, Marty Hom, made accessible and free therapy for all of the touring personnel,” Daisy shared.
She emphasized how rare that kind of support is in the music industry. “I had never had another artist treat their touring band and crew like that,” she said.
For Daisy, the experience made a real impact. “And that reignited the importance of therapy to me because I had just kind of fallen off for so long, and then suddenly I had this free resource of incredible therapists, and I utilized the crap out of that,” she added.
Olivia has been open in the past about her support for therapy. Her father is a therapist, and she’s frequently spoken out about the value of mental health care.
With actions like this, it’s clear she’s not just talking the talk—she’s walking the walk.
