Olivia Rodrigo picked her side of one of America’s biggest fights this week, and she did it the most Olivia Rodrigo way possible: with a pointed caption, a choreographed dance, and her own song as the soundtrack. The California native, 23, appears in a new campaign video posted to the social accounts of Daisy Chain Fields, her upcoming all-women music festival.
The clip opens with Rodrigo and a group of women staring gravely into the camera as on-screen text reads: “Learning that nearly 30 Planned Parenthood health centers have closed since President Donald Trump signed a law ‘defunding’ Planned Parenthood.” Then the mood flips, the group erupts into dance, and the message changes: “But we’ll never stop fighting for sexual and reproductive health care!!!“
The video is set to her song “My Way,” and the caption aims squarely at Washington with a lyric-flavored jab: “Don’t go, go making decisions where you don’t belong.” Within hours the clip had racked up tens of thousands of likes across the festival’s platforms and set off reactions on every side of the debate.
The law in question is the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Trump signed on July 4, 2025. Among its provisions, it ended the flow of federal Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood, a longtime goal of the law’s supporters, who argue taxpayer dollars should not reach organizations that provide abortions. The organization and its allies say the change has forced clinic closures nationwide, the toll the video cites, and note Planned Parenthood serves roughly 2.09 million patients a year across services from cancer screenings to STI testing.
Rodrigo’s stance is not new, only louder. She received Planned Parenthood’s Catalyst of Change Award in 2025, telling the audience that the strongest connection she has built through music is with the young women at her concerts. She launched her Fund 4 Good initiative on the Guts World Tour to support local health nonprofits, and has reportedly committed festival proceeds to the cause. The organization answered the video in kind, with Planned Parenthood Federation of America president Alexis McGill Johnson saying: “It means the world to us that Olivia is so deeply engaged in the fight for abortion rights.“

The replies became the debate in miniature, most of it the usual war and unprintable in either direction, but distinct voices cut through. “Is this your goat?? because she is mine,” one fan declared, while another eyed the calendar: “If the festival’s lineup includes a protest mic, I’m buying tickets for the encore.” The civil wing of the criticism showed up too: “Why don’t she make some financial contributions to the cause?” one user asked, a question the singer’s own giving record answers above.
This is also not her first collision with this White House: earlier this year she publicly objected after one of her songs appeared in a federal immigration enforcement video. That fight came to her; this one she started herself, and she brought choreography.
Daisy Chain Fields arrives later this year with an all-women lineup, and after this week, everyone attending will know exactly what the festival stands for. So will everyone who is not.
