Olivia Rodrigo, who is well-known for using her platform to address meaningful issues and causes, has received the fourth annual Universal Music Group x REVERB Amplifier Award.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo received the award during Saturday’s Music is Universal Artist Showcase, hosted by Sir Lucian Grainge. The event was one of the highest-profile Grammy Weekend functions.<\/p>\n

Grainge, the Chairman and CEO of UMG, presented the award alongside REVERB co-executive directors and founders Lauren Sullivan and Adam Gardner.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo notably wore an “ICE OUT” button Saturday, leaving no doubt about her stance on one of America’s most pressing matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving the UMG x Reverb Amplifier Award is an incredible honor, and I\u2019m deeply grateful to everyone who made this moment possible\u2014Sir Lucian, Universal Music Group\u2019s Global Impact Team, John Janick and the team at Interscope. This award is an important reminder in the belief that artists can be a force for real, lasting change,\u201d said Olivia Rodrigo. \u201cMusic has always been about more than sound. It\u2019s about connection. It\u2019s about telling the truth. And it\u2019s about showing up for one another, especially when it\u2019s uncomfortable or inconvenient. Now, more than ever, in Minneapolis, and around the world, our platforms, no matter the size, can amplify more than our own voices.\u201d<\/p>\n
