Following the announcement of Filipino-American pop star Olivia Rodrigo’s all-women benefit festival Daisy Chain Fields, Filipino KATSEYE member Sophia Laforteza shared a heartfelt gesture from the singer-songwriter on social media.
On her Instagram story, the Filipino idol posted a photo of a bouquet of flowers and a handwritten note from Olivia.
The letter, dedicated to KATSEYE members Daniela, Lara, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae, read, “I just wanted to say a massive thank you for being a part of this festival. You guys are superstars in every sense of the world and I am honored to share this bill with you girls. Thanks again, I cannot wait to watch you guys smash it!”
Sophia captioned the story, “counting down the days.”

Olivia, a Grammy Award winner, rose to fame with her debut single "driver’s license." She recently released the already record-breaking album ‘You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,’ which became the most-streamed album in a single day by a female artist.
The pop star, born and raised in California to a Filipino father and German-Irish mother, previously performed in the Philippines for her GUTS world tour in 2024.
The ticket proceeds from her concert in Manila went towards her global initiative, Fund 4 Good, which aims to provide direct support to non-profits dedicated to girls’ education, reproductive rights, and the prevention of gender-based violence.
