Olivia Rodrigo covers CMAT's 'When A Good Man Cries' on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge

Olivia Rodrigo has performed a cover of CMAT's 'When A Good Man Cries', as part of her set on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge this morning.

The track originally featured on CMAT's acclaimed third album, EURO-COUNTRY, which recently won Best Album at the Ivor Novello Awards. The LP also previously won Irish Album of the Year at the Choice Music Prize, and was selected as Hot Press's No.1 album of 2025. More recently, the Irish artist emerged as the big winner in this year's Hot Press Readers' Poll.

"I woke up like 10 minutes ago and I just heard Olivia Rodrigo sing the word 'Dunboyne' on live English radio," CMAT wrote in her Instagram Stories. "What phase of the simulation is this..."

Olivia Rodrigo was on BBC Radio 1 to promote her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love – set to be released via Geffen Records on June 12. Alongside the CMAT cover, the Grammy Award-winning US star also performed her latest single, 'The Cure'.

"She sang it better than me so now I'm toast," CMAT went on to state in a caption for an Instagram post. "@oliviarodrigo pints ?"

The 'When A Good Man Cries' cover follows CMAT's sold-out show at St Anne's Park in Dublin over the weekend. This summer will also see her play Musgrave Park in Cork on June 20, and Electric Picnic in Co. Laois (August 28-30) – as well as support slots for Lewis Capaldi at Marlay Park, Dublin (June 23 & 24) and Thomond Park, Limerick (June 26).
