Olivia Rodrigo Donates All Ticket Sale Profits From Philippines Concert
Olivia Rodrigo reached a major career milestone over the weekend after she played for the largest audience yet, while also giving back to a community that means a lot to her.
The young pop star traveled to the Philippines as part of her Guts World Tour to play at the massive Philippine Arena in Manila on October 5. The venue is the largest indoor arena in the world and holds 55,000 people — making it Rodrigo’s largest crowd of her career.
Rodrigo, who is part Filipina and has proudly spoken of her heritage, shared a sweet message on Instagram after the show, expressing her gratitude for the fans in Manila, and announcing that all profits from ticket sales will be donated.
“Been dreaming of this show for a whileeeee,” Rodrigo wrote on Instagram. “My first time in the Philippines and also my biggest venue ever!!!!! thank you to everyone Manila for welcoming me so generously and making me feel so loved.”
As part of her nonprofit organization Fund 4 Good, Rodrigo said that all sales would go to Jhpiego — a nonprofit organization affiliated with Johns Hopkins University that helps women and families worldwide. Jhpiego provides reproductive health care access, HIV/ AIDS and infectious disease prevention, education, and more. The organization focuses its efforts on countries including the Philippines, Tunisia, Brazil, Kenya, Nigeria, and Thailand.
