No A-list treatment here! Olivia Rodrigo's very unlikely pre-show snack 'revealed' amid her gruelling summer festival circuit
But Olivia Rodrigo 's very unlikely pre-show snack has been 'revealed' this week after she took to the stage at BST Hyde Park for a spectacular show.
The singer, 22, delighted audiences at the gig as she brought out superstar Ed Sheeran to sing his hit The A Team.
And now, The Sun have reported that before she went on stage she enjoyed some simple boiled eggs and toast rather than anything fancy or elaborate.
An insider told the publication of the gig: 'Olivia's area had been decorated with wildflower plants to make it feel relaxing and summery for her and Ed.
'They even infused her water with strawberries to suit her tastes. But Olivia didn't need anything special.
'She just chowed down on boiled eggs and toast before the show and hung out with Ed. Everyone was talking about how lovely and low key both her and Ed were.'
The source added that there was no fuss made for the down-to-earth star who had a huge wardrobe with her but simply just chose one outfit and 'decided not to change again'.
A representative for Olivia has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
The weekend after BST Hyde Park, Olivia headlined the Glastonbury Pyramid stage in the coveted Sunday night slot.
On the night she wowed in a pair of Union Jack hot pants as she shared her 'love' for England during her headline set.
She put on a show-stopping performance on the Pyramid Stage as she closed the festival at Worthy Farm in the daring number which she teamed with fishnet tights and a graphic T-shirt.
During her energetic set, Olivia paused to express her love for a variety of British foods as she gushed over Marks and Spencer sweets.
She said: 'One thing you should know about me is f***ing love England, I love England so much. It's bands like the Cure that first got me acquainted with England but now that I'm older I have so many things I love about England.'
The good 4 u hitmaker, who is dating British actor boyfriend Louis Partridge, also 22, revealed her greatest loves for the country and gushed that she 'really loves English boys'.
She continued: 'I love pop culture, I love that nobody judges you for having a pint at noon it's the best. I love English sweets from M&S and Collin the Caterpillar.
'True story I have had three sticky toffee pudding since arriving at Glastonbury so safe to say I love English food.
'As luck would have it, I also really love English boys, I wrote this next song about getting to know a boy from England who loves beans on a jacket potato, I took all our little jokes and made a song called, So America.'
As she kicked-off her set, the Disney star cut a trendy figure in a white lace dress as she sang hit Obsessed, which featured on her 2023 Guts album.
Olivia said: 'How are we doing tonight, Glastonbury? Holy f****** s***, I don't think I've ever seen so many people in my life. Guys, it's the last night of the festival. Are you ready to have some fun?'
The chart-topping star's set also featured performances of Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl, Vampire and Drivers Licence, the 2021 single that proved to be a turning point in Olivia's music career.
The singer was later joined on stage by Robert Smith from the Cure.
Before her guest appeared on stage, Olivia said: 'I'm so wildly excited about this next guest. He is perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England, he is a Glastonbury legend and a personal hero of mine.'
The duo then joined forces to perform a rendition of Friday I'm in Love, which appeared on The Cure's 1992 album Wish.
Olivia - who previously appeared at Glastonbury in 2022, when she performed on the Other Stage - also did an incredible encore featuring, So American, All-American B****, good 4 u, and get him back!
The pop star - who changed into the eye catching Union Jack-themed hot pants for her encore - finished her show by adding: 'Thank you so much, Glasto. This really is a dream come true! I'm so very grateful. Thank you!'
Fans rushed to X - formerly known as Twitter - to gush that Olivia was one of the 'best performers' of the weekend and applauded the Disney star for 'silencing the haters' after they claimed she didn't deserve the headline spot.
They wrote: 'Olivia Rodrigo, that's how you headline Glastonbury, 10/10 no notes;
'The entire Glastonbury crowd singing drivers licence omg Olivia Rodrigo you will always be that girl;
'Olivia Rodrigo, that's how you headline Glastonbury, 10/10 no notes;
'This crowd for Olivia Rodrigo… best crowd of the whole entire weekend, her connection to the crowd is on another level;
'Olivia Rodrigo silencing the haters with this brilliant performance;
'I have to admit I am well-impressed by Olivia Rodrigo's headline show on the Pyramid Stage at #Glastonbury tonight. She sings, she plays piano, acoustic guitar and electric guitar, and then rolls out Robert Smith to duet on a couple of classics by The Cure. And she's only 22!;
'Okay olivia rodrigo rightly deserved that headliner spot, what a show and at only 22 as well;
'The way Olivia Rodrigo has proven (yet again) how she is easily one of the main pop girls in today's world!! And on one of the biggest stages in the world;
'Not even ashamed to admit it, that Olivia Rodrigo set was one of the best things I've seen this year at Glastonbury!;
'22 years old and headlining Glastonbury… what a f***ing gal you are miss Olivia Rodrigo proud of you'.
On Saturday, Olivia made sure she fully immersed herself in the festival spirit as she was spotted sat on top of her boyfriend Louis Partridge's shoulders, singing her heart out to Common People during Pulp's surprise set.
The pop-punk singer appeared in high spirits as she belted out the iconic lyrics, whilst waving her arms about.
Olivia kept it casual as she wore a black and white sleeveless vest, which she paired with leopard print shorts and a hunter wellies, with white over-the knee socks.

Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury results in U.S. visas revoked
The BBC issued a warning on screen for strong language while the set was being streamed online, but it acknowledged that it should have gone further. During Bob Vylan's set, he led the audience in chants including "death, death to the IDF, "referring to the Israel Defense Forces fighting a war in Gaza. Law enforcement is investigating "comments made on stage" for possible public order offenses, including hate crimes, after reviewing video footage and audio from their performances, the Avon and Somerset regional police force told Reuters. More: U.K. Culture Sec. condemns Bob Vylan Glastonbury performance, demands answers from BBC Bob Vylan, known for mixing grime and punk rock, tackles a range of issues including racism, homophobia, and the class divide in their songs and have previously voiced support for Palestinians. Their lead vocalist, who goes by the stage name Bobby Vylan, appeared to refer to the weekend performance in a post on Instagram, writing: "I said what I said."

Russell Crowe turns heads with dapper accessory as he attends Wimbledon with fiancée Brittany Theriot
Russell Crowe cut quite the dapper figure this week when he attended the Wimbledon tennis championships in London with fiancée Brittany Theriot. The Gladiator star, 61, was all class in a dark blue suit paired with designer sunglasses and a multicoloured tartan tie. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday, Russell gave fans an insight into the meaning behind his tartan accessory. Sharing an image of him and Brittany watching the action courtside, next to a close-up of his tie, Russell revealed it was a quiet nod to his Scottish heritage. 'The tie? Fraser of Lovat. In honour of all the Lord's Lovat,' he wrote. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Russell was referring to Fraser of Lovat – a Highland Scottish clan that has been associated with the area surrounding Inverness since the 13th century. The actor's nod to his Scottish forebears elicited a raft of responses from fans, with the likes of: 'Russell, you rock that tie. I like it.' Another summed up the sentiment of many with: 'Nice tie! Colours fit you well. You look younger.' Others, however, were quick to point out that the tartan displayed on Russell's tie might not be from Clan Fraser of Lovat. 'Actually it's Fraser Hunting Ancient, not Fraser of Lovat, but it's all made-up stuff so don't worry,' one fan commented. Another added: 'He's wearing the Hunting Ancient tartan, Lovat has deeper colours.' The actor revealed on X, in January last year, after digging into his family tree, that he was related to Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, on his father's side. Fraser has the notorious honour of being the last man to be beheaded in Britain, when he was executed on Tower Hill in 1747. Sharing an image of he and Brittany watching the action courtside, next to a close-up of his tie, Russell revealed it was a quiet nod to his Scottish heritage. 'The tie? Fraser of Lovat. In honour of all the Lord's Lovat,' he wrote His killing led to the phrase 'laughing your head off' when, moments before he was put to death, a scaffold holding spectators collapsed, prompting the rebel to break out in fits of the giggles. 'Also something else that has recently come to light on my father's mother's side, via John ( Jock ) Fraser (arrived in NZ in 1841) we directly connect back to Simon Fraser. 11th Lord Lovat. Look him up,' Russell wrote at the time. 'He's quite the character. The Old Fox they used to call him. 'Seems his Machiavellian ways caught up to him at the age of 80, & he has a claim to infamy as the last man to have the head chopped off his living body in the Tower of London. His death even coined a phrase.' It comes after Russell and Brittany added fuel to the engagement fire when the actor's ladylove, 33, lifted her hand to flash a diamond ring while watching the tennis. The Art Deco-style sparkler sat in what appeared to be a platinum band and boasted several carats. Russell was clearly having a ball with his love, the two laughing and chatting together throughout the match. Brittany was glowing in a pink floral gown in pastel tones, featuring a pussy bow with a polka dot pattern. She added some mixed metal accessories, including a chunky gold watch and a silver knot bracelet. It comes after Russell ignited rumours he is set to tie the knot with Brittany in Rome. The pair had earlier sparked speculation they are engaged when Brittany was seen sporting a diamond ring. Claims are circulating that they are eyeing up an Italian wedding after reportedly visiting a church during their latest visit to the city. The couple, who started dating in 2020, visited Rome last year when Russell performed with his band The Gentlemen Barbers at the Forum Theatre. They were spotted sightseeing during their lavish getaway and reportedly visited a church in the city. 'Italy was always going to be their wedding destination. Every time they go there, they come back more in love,' an insider told Woman's Day.

BBC director-general was at Glastonbury during Bob Vylan performance
It is understood Tim Davie was on a visit to meet staff at the Somerset music event on Saturday afternoon and was informed after Bobby Vylan, one half of the British rap punk duo, led his audience in chants that also included 'Free, free Palestine'. The performance at the West Holts Stage was livestreamed by the BBC but the organisation later expressed regret for not stopping its broadcast of the 'unacceptable' set. A BBC spokesperson said: 'The director-general was informed of the incident after the performance and at that point he was clear it should not feature in any other Glastonbury coverage.' The news of Mr Davie's presence at the festival comes as the Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis berated the BBC for what he called 'the airing of vile Jew-hatred' and the broadcaster's 'belated and mishandled response'. The corporation has faced strong criticism for continuing to livestream the performance on iPlayer with on-screen warnings about discriminatory language. Broadcasting regulator Ofcom saying it was 'very concerned' by the decision and the Culture Secretary claimed the issue should have been foreseeable and constituted 'a problem of leadership' for the BBC. In a post on X, Sir Ephraim wrote: 'This is a time of national shame. 'The airing of vile Jew-hatred at Glastonbury and the BBC's belated and mishandled response, brings confidence in our national broadcaster's ability to treat antisemitism seriously to a new low. 'It should trouble all decent people that now, one need only couch their outright incitement to violence and hatred as edgy political commentary, for ordinary people to not only fail to see it for what it is, but also to cheer it, chant it and celebrate it. 'Toxic Jew-hatred is a threat to our entire society.' Irish rap trio Kneecap, including member Liam Og O hAnnaidh who appeared in court earlier this month charged with a terror offence, took to the stage directly after Bob Vylan and led chants of 'Free Palestine'. On Monday, Avon and Somerset Police said it had launched a probe into both performances after reviewing video footage and audio recordings, with a senior detective appointed to lead the investigation. A police spokesman said: 'This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage. 'The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes.' In a statement on Monday, the BBC said: 'Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC's output but one performance within our livestreams included comments that were deeply offensive. 'The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. 'The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. 'We welcome Glastonbury's condemnation of the performance. 'The performance was part of a livestream of the West Holts stage on BBC iPlayer. 'The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines. 'In addition, we took the decision not to make the performance available on demand. 'The team were dealing with a live situation, but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.' US deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau announced that Bob Vylan's US visas had been revoked due to 'their hateful tirade at Glastonbury', with the duo scheduled to tour in Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia in October. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told the Commons on Monday the Government was 'exasperated' with the 'lack of account from the leadership' at the BBC. Ms Nandy said the incident at Worthy Farm had raised 'very, very serious questions at the highest levels of the BBC about the operational oversight and the way in which editorial standards are understood', adding that she wanted to see 'rapid action' from the broadcaster. Cabinet minister Jonathan Reynolds said the scenes at Glastonbury raised wider concerns about society. He told BBC Radio 4's Today: 'There are some lessons, I think, for broadcasters from this, but let's also not shy away from the issue, which is people in a crowd glorifying violence. 'I don't think it's something we'd associate with any music festival, but it's a wider societal problem.' He added:'It's possible, I think, to be completely concerned by the scenes in Gaza and not stray into the kind of behaviour and endorsement that we saw with that performance. 'And I'm deeply shocked to be honest, that people would even not realise what I think they're participating in when they do that.' Glastonbury Festival organisers also condemned Bob Vylan's chants, saying it was 'appalled' by what was said on stage, adding 'there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence'. Bob Vylan formed in Ipswich in 2017 and have released four albums addressing issues such as racism, masculinity and class. Bobby Vylan is the stage name of Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports. His bandmate drummer uses the alias Bobbie Vylan. In a statement posted to Instagram, he said: 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. 'As we grow older and our fire starts to possibly dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.'
