Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo is set to cheer on Chelsea at Old Trafford as they face Manchester United in the Premier League this evening.

The 21-year-old hitmaker, known for chart-topping singles like Good 4 U, Vampire and Drivers License, first declared her allegiance to the Blues back in August 2023 when she attended her inaugural football match.

It was a clash between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge that concluded in a 1-1 draw, with Luis Diaz's initial goal being equalised by Axel Disasi.

Post-match, Rodrigo had the chance to meet defender Ben Chilwell pitchside, who gifted her a shirt. Sharing her experience with her 38.2m Instagram followers, Rodrigo posted: "Hey, my name’s Olivia Rodrigo and today I am at the Bridge for my very first football game."
