During her headlining set on Saturday night (June 7) at New York’s Governors Ball festival, Olivia Rodrigo surprised the audience by bringing out David Byrne for a performance of the Talking Heads classic, “Burning Down the House.” Rodrigo’s set was initially delayed due to severe weather that plagued the festival that day, but the three-time Grammy winner still made the most of the occasion by duetting with Byrne, whom Rodrigo called “legendary” as she introduced him to the crowd. The two artists traded verses and engaged in synchronized dance routines, captivating the crowd with their dynamic performance and creative chemistry. This collaboration adds to Rodrigo’s recent history of sharing the stage with some of her musical heroes, including taking part in No Doubt’s reunion at Coachella, performing “Hot to Go!” alongside Chappell Roan, and singing with Jewel at her Madison Square Garden gig. Byrne recently took part in a memorable collaboration with Robyn during the star-studded SNL 50 concert. (Rolling Stone)
