MANCHESTER, England — Olivia Rodrigo made a surprise appearance during the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The popular singer was spotted emerging from the players’ tunnel and made her way to the sidelines just before the match began.
“Good 4 u @OliviaRodrigo – we hope you enjoy Old Trafford,” Manchester United shared on X.
Dressed in dark sunglasses and a vibrant yellow coat, Rodrigo took her seat behind the iconic former manager Alex Ferguson.
This visit to Old Trafford isn’t her first venture as a Chelsea supporter; she previously attended a match last season at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea faced Liverpool. Following that game, she was seen taking photos with England international Ben Chilwell, and the club playfully acknowledged her fandom on social media, declaring, “Olivia Rodrigo is a Blue!”
In a noteworthy twist, the presence of Rodrigo at the United match coincided with a critical moment for the club, as Jim Ratcliffe, a minority owner, attended for the first time after the recent dismissal of manager Erik ten Hag.
This event has undoubtedly created headlines, intertwining the worlds of music and sports in a unique way, as fans continue to relish the blend of celebrity culture within the realm of football.
