Olivia Rodrigo is proving she’s not just a powerhouse on stage—she’s using her platform to make a real-world impact.
The 22-year-old pop star was honored on Thursday night (April 24) at the 2025 Planned Parenthood Spring Into Action Gala in New York City. Held at Cipriani South Street, the event celebrated those advocating for reproductive freedom, and Olivia was front and center for her efforts during her recent world tour.
She was joined by a starry guest list including fellow artist Lily Allen, best friend Iris Apatow, and celebs like Busy Philipps, Debbie Harry, Gina Gershon, Gretchen Mol, and Amber Ruffin.
The night wasn’t just about glitz and glam, though—Olivia was recognized for the meaningful work she’s done to support reproductive rights throughout her GUTS World Tour, particularly launching Olivia Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good, a global initiative she created to fight for “an equitable and just future for all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom.”
As part of the initiative, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold on her tour was directed to the fund, supporting community-based organizations that work on the ground to protect access to reproductive care.
While accepting the honor, Olivia stayed true to her down-to-earth style, showing deep gratitude and emphasizing how important the cause is to her.
The singer, who rose to global stardom following the release of her debut album SOUR and then followed up with the critically acclaimed GUTS, has never shied away from speaking her mind. She’s frequently used her voice to advocate for issues she believes in, especially when it comes to young people’s rights and healthcare.
The Planned Parenthood gala celebrated more than just a pop star’s success—it recognized the growing importance of artists using their platforms for activism. Olivia’s commitment to putting her money and influence where her mouth is makes her a standout example of how celebrities can help drive change in real and tangible ways.
With the GUTS tour still echoing through playlists and her activism now formally recognized, Olivia continues to show that being a pop star and a passionate advocate aren’t mutually exclusive—in fact, they might just be the perfect match.
