During Olivia Rodrigo’s show, she was once again surprised by a guest.
Natalie Imbruglia joined Rodrigo on stage at the 5000-seat Eventim Apollo in London on Wednesday to sing a duet of Imbruglia’s “Torn.”
“She’s the most fantastic singer,” the pop star said, presenting her special guest, “and she sings one of my favorite songs of all time.” Imbruglia sang the first verse and chorus while Rodrigo joined in for the rest of the tune.
When the song concluded, Rodrigo then bowed at Imbruglia’s feet, saying, “That was incredible.”
“Torn” is a single from Imbruglia’s debut album, Left of the Middle, released in 1997 – six years before Rodrigo was born.
Imbruglia expressed her gratitude to the “amazing crowd” in an Instagram story, describing the duo’s experience with Rodrigo as “magical.” The couple’s duet came days after Rodrigo covered the song in a Manchester bar after a performance in the city.

Imbruglia is one of the many artists that Rodrigo adores and has shared the stage with her. At the Glastonbury Festival, she performed “F— You” with Lily Allen, which she addressed to the justices of the Supreme Court justices, who revoked the constitutional right to abortion the day before.
“So many women and girls are going to die because of this [decision], and I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who showed us at the end of the day they truly don’t give an [expletive] about freedom,” stated the 19-year-old.
“We hate you! We hate you!”
Meanwhile, on the North American side of her tour, Rodrigo was graced with the presence of Alanis Morissette to cover “You Oughta Know” in Los Angeles and Avril Lavigne for a “Complicated” cover in Toronto.
