OLIVIA RODRIGO SLAMS ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT, REVEALS HER LOVE FOR ENGLISH BOYS AND FOOD

In a powerful move, chart-topping singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo took to her Instagram Stories this weekend to express her outrage and heartbreak over the devastating conflict between Israel and Hamas. The 22-year-old pop sensation urged her devoted fans to donate to UNICEF, as she did, to help the innocent civilians, mostly children, affected by the war.

"Mothers, fathers, and children in Gaza are starving, dehydrated, and being denied access to basic medical care and humanitarian aid," Rodrigo wrote, her words dripping with anguish. "There are no words to describe the heartbreak I feel witnessing the devastation that is being inflicted upon innocent people in Palestine."

This isn't the first time Olivia has spoken out against injustice. She's been a vocal advocate for women's reproductive rights since the beginning of her career, and has even dedicated songs to the fight. In fact, she recently took aim at the Supreme Court justices who have tried to restrict abortion access, saying, "We hate you."

But Olivia doesn't just talk the talk; she walks the walk too. Last year, she founded a nonprofit organization called Fund 4 Good, which aims to raise awareness and support for women's issues in America and around the world. The initiative has already made a significant impact, providing resources to people in need of reproductive healthcare.

When she's not fighting for social justice, Olivia is busy making music that speaks to her fans on a deep level. Her hit song "Drivers License" is a personal anthem for many young women, who have found solace and solidarity in its lyrics.

But Olivia's passion for music isn't the only thing that sets her apart from other celebrities. She's also a self-proclaimed foodie with a weakness for British sweets – specifically those from Marks & Spencer! In fact, she confessed to indulging in three sticky toffee puddings since arriving at Glastonbury Festival last month.

And it seems like Olivia has found love across the pond as well. The singer-songwriter is dating British actor Louis Partridge, 22, and has even written a song about their romance – with beans on jacket potato being a major theme!

When she took to the Glastonbury stage earlier this summer, Olivia left her fans in awe with an energetic set that showcased her incredible vocal range. She even paused mid-performance to gush about her favorite British treats, saying, "I love pop culture, I love that nobody judges you for having a pint at noon... I really love English boys!"

'There is no child in Israel, Palestine, or anywhere in the world who deserves to suffer through what we're seeing these children have to endure,' she added

So, what's next for this talented and passionate pop star? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Olivia Rodrigo is here to stay, using her platform to make a difference in the world.
