Gutsy Distribution Of The Plan B
Imagine rocking out to Rodrigo’s hits and, suddenly, finding Plan B pills in your concert swag bag. That’s exactly what happened at the Guts World Tour. Rodrigo, known for her bold and touching lyrics, took an even bolder step in supporting abortion rights. After the concert, each fan not only went home with a musical feast but also with a morning-after pill. Needless to say, it put the night into one the fans are going to remember for decades.
Social media lit up as fans shared their unexpected yet appreciated Plan B party favors. Rodrigo’s move not only broke the mold of typical concert souvenirs but also started conversations about the role of artists in advocating for social issues, even during live performances.
Our little Live didn’t just hand the contraceptive pills, she added a splash of advocacy with the clever call to action as well. Fans found stickers featuring a helpline number for those in need of an abortion. The stickers also read off witty references from Rodrigo’s songs, like, “Funding abortion? It’s a good idea right?” “Help us fund abortion. It’s brutal out here,” and “We would be happier if you followed us.”
Olivia is making clear that It’s not just about the music anymore, it’s about pushing the boundaries created to oppress women. Soon the fans flooded social media with gratitude and praise for Rodrigo’s thoughtful gesture. The conversation shifted from show highlights to the importance of reproductive rights. The pop star’s daring move at Missouri’s concert urged fans to engage in her beliefs beyond the beats.
