WHAT THEY SAID
“My mom skipped my show to go see Korn!”† Olivia Rodrigo told Jimmy Kimmel on June 10 that her mother chose nu-metal over her own daughter’s headlining set at Lollapalooza last year.
THE DETAILS
- Both acts headlined simultaneously on opposite stages at the 2025 Chicago festival — organizers figured there’d be zero audience overlap between pop and Korn fans†
- Rodrigo’s mom Jennifer proved them wrong, ditching her daughter’s performance for the metal veterans†
- Rodrigo seemed unbothered: she let her mom follow her preference and was happy she got her night‡
- The pop star’s new album *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love* drops June 12 and features The Cure’s Robert Smith on a track — her dad has seen The Cure 30 times and cried when he met Smith*†
- The Unraveled Tour kicks off in September*†
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Rodrigo’s parents have clearly passed down their rock DNA — now we wait to see if mom makes the tour dates or finds another metal show to hit instead.
