Olivia Rodrigo performs a cover of CMAT’s “When a Good Man Cries” during her appearance on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, according to Billboard and NME. The outlets report that the song is performed as part of the radio show’s live session format. In separate comments shared alongside the performance, Rodrigo praises CMAT’s songwriting, saying she believes CMAT is “such an incredible, unique songwriter.” CMAT responds to the cover by joking that Rodrigo sang the song better than she does, adding, “She sang it better than me so now I’m toast.” Billboard and NME frame the moment as a public exchange between the artists, linking Rodrigo’s interpretation of CMAT’s work with CMAT’s reaction. Overall, the coverage centers on the live cover performance on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge and the mutual remarks between Rodrigo and CMAT, rather than on additional chart or release details.
