The last night of his capture of Madison Square Garden for the Guts world tour, Olivia Rodrigo welcomed jewel on stage for a dazzling duet of the singer-songwriter’s 1995 hit “You Were Meant for Me.”
“She’s such an incredible songwriter. When I start writing my songs, I listen to her album Pieces of tea before going to bed,” said Rodrigo, before welcoming Jewel to the stage. “It’s incredible and it’s such an honor to have her here with me tonight.”
Jewel took the stage dressed in a black top, flowy white pants and a matching hat. Both women strummed their guitars and took turns singing the lines before singing the chorus in harmony. “Dreams last so long / Even after you’re gone / I know you love me,” the pair sang. “And soon you’ll see / You were meant for me.”
“You Were Meant for Me” was featured on Jewel’s first album Pieces of tea in 1995 and reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
Rodrigo has featured many guests in many of his concerts on his recent tour. During her first show in New York City on Friday, April 5, she hosted Noah Kahan on stage to perform a duet of “Stick season.” Rodrigo, a longtime Kahan fan, previously covered the track for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge.
Rodrigo also brought Sheryl Crow on stage during his concert in Nashville to perform “If It Makes You Happy”. Tuesday’s show is his final American leg of his European tour. (Remi Wolf will be opening for her there.) She’s due back in the US later this summer.
Rodrigo kicked off his run of shows in Palm Springs in February with Chappell Roan opening for him on the road. He made his way across the country with stops in Chicago, Nashville, St. Louis and Miami.
“Rodrigo has cemented his position in pop culture as a generation-defining artist. As a rockstar. And as an energetic idol just starting his career,” Rolling Stone he wrote in a magazine of the tour.
