The Celebs Found Love at Glastonbury
If within the last 72 hours you felt the urge to buy a pair of Hunter Wellies or reblog photos of Alexa Chung, don’t worry: There is a reason. Glastonbury Festival took place over the weekend, which means that lots of British (and Irish) celebs were out and about taking in the U.K.’s biggest music festival. This year, love was in the air at Glasto, with several celeb couples hanging out, making out, and dancing as if they were regular people. Gracie Abrams got on Paul Mescal’s shoulders, Charli XCX and her fiancé George Daniel DJ’d together, and Harry Styles made out with a mystery woman! Here are all the couples who were feeling the love in the middle of an English field.
Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal
Gracie Abrams performed at the festival on Friday afternoon, with her boyfriend Paul Mescal in the crowd having an amazing time. In a video shared by Mescal’s former co-star and current best friend Daisy Edgar-Jones, the actor sang along to his girlfriend’s set with a pal on his shoulders. Some clever fans were able to figure out that Mescal was belting his heart out to Abrams’s “I Love You, I’m Sorry.”
The couple was caught snogging by The Sun after Abrams’s set, and then they spent the rest of the weekend partying like regular fans. As is typical at Glasto, she got on his shoulders during Robert Smith’s surprise appearance at Olivia Rodrigo’s set and sang along to “Friday I’m in Love.”
Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge
More than anything, Glastonbury seems to be about getting on your boyfriend’s shoulders. Olivia Rodrigo got a better view of British rock band Pulp’s set, singing along to their 1995 hit “Common People” from atop her beau, Louis Partridge. She was, in fact, dancing like a common person and doing what a common person does.
Rodrigo headlined the Pyramid Stage, the festival’s main stage, on Sunday, and gave Partridge a shout-out before introducing her song “so american.” “I was falling in love with this boy from London,” she told the crowd. “I would make fun of him for eating a jacket potato with beans inside of it, and he would make fun of me for pronouncing things very American, like ‘I’m headlining Glaston-berry.’”
Later, Partridge shared some photos of Rodrigo from the weekend, writing that she “worked her ass off for it and couldn’t be more deserving of all her success and for the great crowd that was watching.” He capped it off with “#glastonberry.” Cute!
Charli XCX and George Daniel
What could be more brat than you and your fiancé both performing massive sets at your country’s biggest festival? Nothing, probably. George Daniel went first, with his band the 1975 headlining on Friday night. On Saturday, Charli headlined at Other Stage with Gracie Abrams as her “Apple” girl and then bolted to join Daniel at his DJ set. Now that’s a power couple.
She also got him to do a TikTok, which stans know was probably her biggest achievement of the weekend.
Cruz Beckham and Jackie Apostel
There has been lots of talk about the other Beckhams recently, but did you know that the youngest Beckham boy, 20-year-old Cruz, is dating a 30-year-old singer named Jackie Apostel? Well, now you do. They had a luxury glamping experience at the festival, which the Daily Mail reported starts at £8,225 ($11,279) per person. Apostel showed off their digs in an Instagram post, which included a real bed. No word on whether she got on his shoulders at any point.
Harry Styles and a Mystery Woman
This, of course, is the hottest piece of gossip to come out of the festival. Harry Styles was spotted passionately making out with someone The Sun referred to as a “glamorous female” while dancing in the festival’s VIP area. “Harry only had eyes for this woman and sparks were flying as soon as they were together,” one witness told the tabloid. “Harry turned up with a few of his mates but as soon as she got there, they were almost inseparable.” Good for both of them.
