Is Robert Smith's collaboration with Olivia Rodrigo going from the stage to the studio?
The Cure frontman memorably joined the pop star during her headlining set at Glastonbury 2025 to perform "Friday I'm in Love" and "Just Like Heaven." As Smith tells British Vogue for a profile on Rodrigo, they have kept in touch following the show.
"She calls me up quite a bit to talk about clothes and fashion – and we have enjoyed a couple of memorable nights in the studio together," Smith says. "I can't wait to hear what she does next!"
Smith adds that he purchased Rodrigo's two albums, SOUR and GUTS — "both on CD!" he says — after hearing her hit "drivers license."
"Although most of the songs on those two albums are not really 'aimed at my demographic'(!), they are all so good that it is hard not to fall in love with them," Smith says.
Perhaps we will hear a collaboration on Rodrigo's next album.
