    Olivia Rodrigo paid for her band and crew to have therapy on her world tour

    The 22-year-old singer-songwriter's guitarist, Daisy Spencer, has told how the recent Glastonbury headliner ensured there was "accessible and free" therapy for "all of the touring personnel" on her Guts World Tour, and Daisy admitted such a gesture is "not very heard of" in the industry


    Speaking on The Stage Left podcast, Daisy said: "Olivia and our tour manager Marty Hom made therapy accessible and free for all of the touring personnel.

    "I have never had anything like that.

    "And that reignited the importance of therapy to me because I had just kind of fallen off for so long.

    "And then suddenly I had this free resource of incredible therapists, and I utilised the crap out of that.

    "I was going, you know, once a week, once every other week, whenever I could.

    "And it was even during the off time, we also still had access to this resource.

    "So honestly, that was one of the coolest things that has ever happened on tour.

    "It's not very heard of. It was the coolest thing ever."

    Daisy also praised Olivia as the "dreamiest boss of all time", and admitted the Good 4 U hitmaker has dealt with her rise to global fame "so gracefully and so effortlessly".

    The guitarist added: "She literally is the dreamiest boss of all time.

    "I feel like she just has handled the upward trajectory of her career in the most amazing way that most human beings wouldn't be able to do.

    "She's done it so gracefully and so effortlessly."

    Last month, Olivia expressed her "love" for England, and "English boys", in reference to her boyfriend Louis Partridge, as she closed this year's Glastonbury Festival.

    Olivia - who was joined on the iconic Pyramid Stage by The Cure's Robert Smith - told the crowd: "I love England so f****** much.

    "It's bands like The Cure that first got me acquainted with England ... I have so many things I love about England, I love pop culture, I love how nobody judges you for having a pint at noon, it's the best.

    "I love English sweets, all the sweets from Marks and Spencer - Colin the Caterpillar, specifically.

    "True story: I have had three sticky toffee puddings since coming to Glastonbury. And as luck would have it, I love English boys."
