“I’m devastated and terrified,” Rodrigo, 19, told the crowd.
“So many women and so many girls are going to die because of this,” she shared, The Guardian reports. “I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have showed us that at the end of the day, they truly don’t give a s— about freedom.”

Later, Rodrigo and Lily Allen performed the song “F-k You” together. During Rodrigo’s debut at the renowned festival, he worked with Allen, 37.
“This is actually my first Glastonbury and I’m sharing this stage with Lily, this is the biggest dream come true ever,” she said, per the British outlet. “But I’m also equally as heartbroken about what happened in America yesterday.”
After the Supreme Court declared on Friday that the Roe v. Wade decision had been overturned, Rodrigo joined a large number of other celebrities in speaking out. Several other well-known people have openly voiced their opposition to the new law, including Lizzo, Tiffany Haddish, Rita Moreno, Hailey Bieber, and Michelle Obama.

The 6-to-3 decision overturned a nearly 50-year-old norm and granted states the authority to enact their own abortion-related legislation. Following the governors’ implementation of “trigger bans” following the SCOTUS decision, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, and South Dakota have already outlawed abortion in their states.
Since then, demonstrations have taken place around the nation, and President Joe Biden has denounced the decision, calling it the “realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error by the Supreme Court.”
