Olivia Rodrigo at BST Hyde Park: teen angst at rock goddess decibels
Special guest slots have become something of an arms race, especially on Glasto weekend, so it was impressive that Rodrigo's team managed to get Ed Sheeran (looking positively spiffy for him in jeans and a white tee) out for an acoustic rendition of his 2011 hit The A Team. Of course, anyone under the age of 14 wasn't born when Sheeran's song about a crack addicted sex worker was charting, so it possibly went a little over the heads of about 20 per cent of the crowd.

Sabrina Carpenter shows her support for former love rival Olivia Rodrigo at her BST Hyde Park gig - four years after their alleged feud over mutual ex Josh Bassett
Sabrina Carpenter showed her support for former love rival Olivia Rodrigo as she attended her BST Hyde Park gig in London on Friday. The Espresso hitmaker, 26, could be seen smiling and dancing along as Olivia, 22, took to the stage to headline the festival in the capital. The pair share a mutual ex-boyfriend in the form of Joshua Bassett, 24, with the singers embroiled in awkward love triangle rumours back in 2020/2021 amid their romances with the actor. However, Sabrina appeared to have put their alleged feud firmly behind her as she happily sipped on a glass of wine while enjoying the show. Slipping into a semi-sheer baby doll dress and black glasses, the US songstress - who is headlining the same festival next week - looked in great spirits as she watched from a balcony. Meanwhile, Olivia was on fine form as she strutted her stuff on stage, with one look seeing her stun in a tiny silver fringed crop top and matching mini skirt. She was later joined on the stage by surprise guest Ed Sheeran, 34, for a duet of his mega 2011 hit The A Team. Together the pair strummed their guitars while belting out the iconic lyrics while the 65,000 strong audience cheered in delight. Joshua has long been rumored to be the subject of Olivia's January 2021 breakup ballad Driver's License, which catapulted her to superstardom. The pair reportedly dated while shooting the first two seasons of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which premiered on Disney+ in 2019. Due to the assumptions made about the song, Joshua became a target online to Rodrigo's protective fanbase. Fans also suspected that Carpenter was the 'other woman' referenced in the song's lyrics as Olivia notably sings about 'that blonde girl' who 'made [her] doubt' the relationship. She also notes in the lyrics that the unnamed blonde is 'much older than me.' Olivia is 22 and Sabrina is 26. Sabrina, who also got her start on Disney Channel, was reportedly linked to Joshua in mid-2020 but they were broken up by 2021. However, Sabrina appeared to have put their alleged feud firmly behind her as she happily sipped on a glass of wine while enjoying the show Sabrina couldn't keep the smile off her face amid Olivia's gig Olivia and her ex Joshua have never publicly confirmed or denied anything relating to their alleged romance and breakup. The Deja Vu singer is now happily dating 22-year-old actor Louis Partridge, while Sabrina was in a high-profile romance with Barry Keoghan throughout 2024. It was a busy day for Sabrina as just hours earlier, she looked uncharacteristically conservative in a grey pleated skirt suit at the star-studded Dior Homme Menswear during Paris Fashion Week. The singer was the epitome of chic as she rocked an elegant grey blazer that cinched her in at the waist, teamed with a knee-length pleated skirt. Her look was a far cry from the risqué outfits she usually slips into when performing on stage. Sabrina boosted her height in a pair of nude peep-toe heels, while her blonde locks were kept off her face with a simple black hair slide. The Please Please Please hitmaker showed off her demure look as she greeted fans while arriving at the show to check out the Spring-Summer 2026 collection. Sabrina was in great company at the fashion show as a number of A-listers were in attendance including Rihanna, Donatella Versace, Daniel Craig and Robert Pattinson.
