Grammy-winning singer pays for her band and crew to have therapy on tour

Good for you, Olivia Rodrigo! The Grammy-winning singer pays for the musicians in her band and stage crew to have access to therapy on and off tour, according to her guitarist.

Daisy Spencer revealed Rodrigo’s generosity on “The StageLeft Podcast” last month.

"On the Guts World Tour, Olivia and our tour manager, Marty Hom, made accessible and free therapy for all of the touring personnel," Spencer said, per People.

“I have never had anything like that,” the 31-year-old said. “And that reignited the importance of therapy to me because I had just kind of fallen off for so long, and then suddenly I had this free resource of incredible therapists, and I utilized the crap out of that.”

She continued, “Honestly, that was one of the coolest things that has ever happened on tour. Like, seriously, one of the best things you can give to people is accessible free therapy, because it can get kind of expensive.”

Spencer said the access to therapy has been “a gift” and called Rodrigo “Literally is the dreamiest boss of all time.”

Rodrigo’s father, Chris Rodrigo, is a family therapist, and the 22-year-old has been open in the past about the importance of therapy.

She told “CBS Sunday Morning” in 2021, "I hadn't really started going until I was 16, and that was a really big, life-changing moment, and I've learned so much about myself.”

The “Driver’s License” singer also addressed the stigma around mental health, saying, "Sometimes people are like, 'Oh, you don't need that, you have so much, your life is so great, what are your problems?' I think that's definitely a thing that sometimes older people can do to younger people, too, is kind of trivialize what they're going through just because they're like, 'Eh, they're fine, they're just kids, they'll get through it.' But it feels so real when you're in it, and it's so valid, and just because it's not an adult problem or you don't have to pay taxes yet or whatever doesn't mean it doesn't hurt."

Even so, she told the outlet she looks to the positive, explaining, "A lot of people think, listening to my music, that I'm a really sad, depressed person and that couldn't be farther from the truth.”

She added, "Definitely not at all crying on my bedroom floor all the time. But it's fun to write about stuff like that — like if I was just writing about how I was happy, going to get my iced latte every morning, nobody would listen to it, it wouldn't be interesting."
