OLIVIA Rodrigo was among the superstars to rock out at the FireAid benefit concert last night in Los Angeles.
Following the wildfires that raged through Los Angeles earlier this month, some of the biggest names in music came together for a benefit concert in Inglewood on Thursday night.
Olivia rocked out to her hits Drivers License and Deja Vu at the rocking event, alongside other stars such as Nirvana, Rod Stewart, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Billie Eilish and many more.
But fans had one massive complaint over Olivia’s set, with many complaining over how short it was compared to some of the other performers.
“Wym i waited that long only for olivia to sing two songs?? #FireAid,” asked one fan on X.
Another questioned: “that’s it??? just 2 songs from olivia…”
“Olivia baby i love you but you made me stay up this late for a TWO song set… while the others had 5,” fumed a third.
While a fourth echoed: “So i stayed up till almost 4 am just to watch olivia sing TWO F**KING SONGS.”
But someone else defended Olivia when they said: “How many of you disappointed girls that ‘stayed up four hours to see Olivia Rodrigo only play two old songs’ donated to the cause in which she was gracious enough to perform for??
“Just curious. Go to bed. #fireaid.”
‘SHE BELONGS ON STAGE’
But despite fans complaining over Olivia’s short set at FireAid, many were quick to gush over how amazing her performance was.
“she looks and sounds soo good omg my girl fr,” penned one.

NIRVANA REUNION AT FIREAID
Another one of the highlights from the benefit gig was when the remaining members of Nirvana reunited onstage to play the band’s songs once again.
Not only did the band get back together for the charity event, but drummer Dave Grohl brought out a very special guest who some thought “channeled their inner Kurt Cobain”.
Drummer Dave Grohl, bassist Krist Novoselic, rhythm guitarist Pat Smear were joined on-stage by four special guests.
During the set, the group played a several Nirvana songs with their guest artists.
St. Vincent took on Breed, Kim Gordon sang School, Joan Jett performed Territorial P***ings, while Violet Grohl – Dave’s 18-year-old daughter sang All Apologies.
Violet’s rendition of All Apologies left fans in tears, with one person even saying how she “channeled Kurt Cobain”.
Taking to X, the viewer wrote: “Violet Grohl just channeled Kurt Cobain…never thought I’d hear a version like that of All Apologies live again,”
