• Irish singer CMAT has thanked Olivia Rodrigo for covering her song 'When A Good Man Cries' on Radio 1's Live Lounge.
• CMAT stated that Rodrigo's performance offered her some respite from depression exacerbated by a “quasi-organised online attack” concerning her appearance.
• Both CMAT and Rodrigo were subjected to extensive online trolling in May, with CMAT facing body-shaming and Rodrigo criticised for her choice of babydoll dresses.
• On Substack, CMAT described the cover as a “gift” that “could not have have come at a better time.”
• Rodrigo, who recently discovered CMAT, praised her as an “incredible, unique songwriter” during her Live Lounge Performance.
