The three-time Grammy winner hit the stage for her third time overall, debuting her fresh track, drop dead, and a vibrant green and pink dress. And get this, Blondie's Debbie Harry made a surprise cameo to introduce her, giving Olivia that ultimate pop rock stamp of approval. The song dropped two weeks back, paired with a dreamy music video shot at the Louvre by director Petra Collins. It's got that boisterous energy and fans are already buzzing. Rodrigo's next album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, Lance June 12th, building serious hype. Debbie Harry's nod carries weight. Blondie kicked off the new wave era back in 1974, snagged rock and roll hall of fame honors in two, 2006, and has moved over 40 million records. She's the latest big name to pop up for an intro, following Paul Simon's quick appearance with Harry Styles in March.

Blondie's influence lives on and this crossover moment proves the torch is passing smooth.
