Olivia Rodrigo stuns Hyde Park crowd with surprise Ed Sheeran duet during sold-out BST performance

Olivia Rodrigo brought an extra dose of star power to her BST Hyde Park show by welcoming Ed Sheeran onstage for a surprise duet, just days ahead of her scheduled Glastonbury Festival appearance.

The 22-year-old singer captivated the crowd with a high-octane set packed with her signature emotional pop hits, such as “bad idea right?," "ballad of a homeschooled girl," "vampire,” and more.

Dressed in a black sequinned leotard, Olivia Rodrigo performed to a sea of fans under the London sun, powering through a three-part show filled with passion and grit.

Ed Sheeran joined her in the final act, taking the stage for an acoustic performance of “The A Team” after watching most of the set from the wings.

Rodrigo introduced him as “one of the best songwriters of all time,” earning loud cheers from the crowd.

Backstage, Rodrigo had a custom setup with wildflower planters for a touch of calm before the energetic night. Famous attendees spotted in the audience included Rodrigo’s boyfriend, Louis Partridge, as well as James Corden and Sabrina Carpenter.

The show marked another milestone in Olivia Rodrigo’s rapid rise from Disney star to multi-Grammy-nominated artist, with over 46 million monthly listeners on Spotify and a growing list of iconic collaborations.
