Olivia Rodrigo's Glastonbury set doubles as date night with Netflix heartthrob
Glastonbury Festival was buzzing with excitement this weekend—not just for the music, but for the festival's most-watched couple: Olivia Rodrigo and her boyfriend, British actor Louis Partridge . Rodrigo, 22, headlined the legendary Pyramid Stage on Sunday night, but before taking the spotlight, she was spotted living her best festival life with Partridge, sending fans and social media into a frenzy. The 'drivers license' singer didn't let the pressure of her headline slot keep her from enjoying the festival. On Saturday, Rodrigo was seen perched on Partridge's shoulders, belting out Pulp's 'Common People' during the band's surprise set—a moment captured by festival-goers and even radio DJ Greg James, who playfully pointed her out in the crowd. The couple's festival antics didn't stop there: they were also seen mingling with Glasto royalty Alexa Chung, cementing their status as the event's coolest couple. Louis Partridge, also 22, is best known for his breakout roles in Netflix 's 'Enola Holmes' films alongside Millie Bobby Brown, as well as parts in 'Paddington 2,' 'Pan,' and the FX miniseries 'Pistol.' He's currently filming the third 'Enola Holmes' movie and recently starred in the miniseries 'Disclaimer' with Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. Rodrigo and Partridge have been dating since late 2023, first making headlines for their PDA-filled Halloween night in London, and later going red carpet official at the 'Disclaimer' premiere in August 2024. Since then, the pair have been inseparable—spotted at Premier League matches, strolling through London and New York, and attending the Grammys together. Rodrigo's set at Glastonbury was both electric and personal. She dedicated her song 'so american' to Partridge, telling the crowd she wrote it about falling for a boy from London and all their funny cultural differences. Live Events 'I also really love English boys. I wrote this next song when I was falling for a boy from London, and as we got to know each other, we discovered all these cultural differences. I would tease him about eating a jacket potato with beans, while he would joke about my distinctly American pronunciation—like saying Glaston-berry. So, I turned all of our little inside jokes into a song,' Rodrigo told festival-goers.

Since the June 18, 2025 premiere, viewers have been captivated by Lahey's journey, resilience, and undeniable screen presence, turning her into an instant fan favorite. From early rejection to national spotlight Ava Lahey's rise didn't happen overnight. Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, her first audition with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) in 2021 ended in disappointment, with Lahey being cut during the final selection stage.

This season, fans watched her finally make the cut and flourish as a rookie on the team. Lahey's combination of technical precision and emotional vulnerability struck a chord with audiences looking for more than just high kicks and sequins. A trained dancer with elite experience Lahey's performance isn't just about raw ambition — it's backed by a lifetime of training. Beginning dance at age two, she mastered a wide range of styles, from lyrical and hip-hop to classical ballet. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What Does My Family Name Mean? beenverified Sign Up Undo She danced competitively from age nine and performed with the Springfield Ballet Company, taking on roles in Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Cinderella.
