Hold onto your hats, because Olivia Rodrigo’s concerts were about to become more than just a musical experience—they were turning into a one-stop-shop for all your emergency contraception needs. Yep, you heard that right, forget about just screaming the lyrics to “Good 4 U,” now you could also snag yourself some Plan B pills and condoms while you’re at it.
Olivia, the 21-year-old pop sensation with a heart of gold, recently launched Fund 4 Good, a global initiative that’s all about making the world a better place for women and girls. And what better way to support reproductive rights than by dishing out emergency contraceptives at her concerts?
But hold onto your seats, because it seems like someone’s hit the brakes on this wild ride. Variety reports that local abortion funds have been given the boot from handing out freebies at Olivia’s shows. Say what? No more free Plan B pills with your popcorn?
DC Abortion Fund’s communications manager, Jade Hurley, was quick to spill the tea, stating, “The #GUTSWorldTour is asking abortion funds not to bring emergency contraception (EC), condoms, or lube to tour stops. We hope to see this change before DC’s date on July 20th.” Looks like the party’s over. No more emergency contraceptives served with a side of pop hits.
But hey, who knows what’s next? Maybe Olivia will start flinging IUDs into the crowd like confetti at her next show. Stay tuned, because this rollercoaster ride of reproductive rights at concerts is far from over.
