Olivia Rodrigo tapped Robert Smith for a surprise appearance during her set at Glastonbury on Sunday night. The pair joined forces for a rousing duet of the Cure’s 1992 hit “Friday I’m in Love” and their 1987 tune “Just Like Heaven.”

Rodrigo introduced Smith by saying, “He’s perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England. He is a Glastonbury legend and a personal hero of mine.” The artists showcased the two songs on acoustic guitar and vocals.

Sunday evening marked Rodrigo’s first time headlining Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage. “Holy fucking shit, this is the most people I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” she told the audience, per Variety. “This is a dream come true, I actually can’t believe this is my life right now.”

Last week, Rodrigo teamed up with Ed Sheeran for a performance of “The A Team” during a sold-out show in London’s Hyde Park. “I want to introduce one of my favorite Brits and one of the best songwriters of all time,” Rodrigo said before bringing out Sheeran. With both singers sporting acoustic guitars, the pair trades verses on Sheeran’s 2011 hit and debut single, which Rodrigo said on social media is “literally one of my fav songs ever.”

She also covered Fontaines D.C.’s hit “I Love You” in Dublin as part of her performance at Marlay Park. “Lately I’ve been obsessed with this band Fontaines D.C.,” Rodrigo told the audience. “I’ve been playing this song alone in my room for fun, and I was wondering if it’d be cool if I played it for you guys.”

Rodrigo’s tour continues in Manchester tonight and tomorrow night before she heads to Europe for a series of shows and festival appearances.
