Olivia Rodrigo's dream collaboration has become a reality! Back in January, at the Governors Awards in Hollywood, the singer shared her desire to duet with Noah Kahan, saying, "I love Noah Kahan. I think he's so great and he's very inspiring." She even crossed her fingers to the camera, saying, "One of these days." Fast forward to Friday evening, during the first night of her Guts World Tour shows at Madison Square Garden, Rodrigo surprised everyone by bringing Kahan on stage for a duet of "Stick Season."
The crowd went wild, singing along to every line as Rodrigo and Kahan took turns delivering the heartbreaking lyrics. This moment was especially meaningful as Rodrigo had previously covered the title track from Kahan's third studio album, Stick Season, during BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. The admiration is mutual, as Kahan later performed Rodrigo's deep cut "Lacy" for his own Live Lounge appearance, praising her lyricism as dynamic and emotionally resonant.
Their connection deepened when they announced that their covers of each other's songs would be released on a 7-inch vinyl for Record Store Day on April 20. After their unforgettable duet at MSG, Kahan took to Twitter to express his gratitude, calling Rodrigo a "special talent and person" and thanking her and her team for the opportunity.
It's clear that Olivia Rodrigo and Noah Kahan's collaboration is a match made in musical heaven, and fans can't wait to see what they do next!
