Music festival are great, but sometimes you’re faced with tough decisions, like picking which act to catch when there’s stage-to-stage overlap. For instance, when it came to choosing between Olivia Rodrigo or Korn — as the pop star’s own mom had to do at the Chicago, Illinois instalment of Lollapalooza last year — the former’s own flesh-and-blood followed her heart and picked the nu-metal icons. Rodrigo confirmed this last night (June 10th) during a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, explaining to the host that her mom has heavy music tastes. “My mom likes so many crazy metal bands, which you would never guess just looking at her,” the pop singer explained. “I headlined Lollapalooza last year, which was so awesome and such a dream of mine. But they have like headliners go at the same time. So, on this specific day, it was me and Korn headlining at the same time on like opposite stages. She continued: “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, that’s perfect. You know, the Olivia fans will go see Olivia, the Korn fans will go see Korn. You know, there’s really no overlap.’ But there was one overlap, and it was my mom. My mom skipped my show to go see Korn! I let her do it, I’m happy she got her night.” In other words, Rodrigo wasn’t Sour about this. Rather, she’s glad her mom went with her Guts feeling. To be fair, the younger Rodrigo is also a rock fan. Back in 2023, she praised Rage Against the Machine. She also took alt-rock icons the Breeders on tour in 2024, has struck up a friendship with Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna, and duets with the Cure’s Robert Smith on her new album. Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love album is out tomorrow (June 12th) via Geffen. As for Korn, they recently gave us “Reward the Scars,” their first song in four years.
