Olivia Rodrigo has drawn attention online after appearing to 'like' a social media post calling for a boycott of the 2026 Met Gala. The interaction was highlighted by users on platforms including X and Reddit, though the singer has not commented publicly.
The post features a video of a woman identified as Mary Hill, described as a 72-year-old Amazon warehouse worker, addressing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ahead of the event. In the clip, she criticises wealth inequality and working conditions, stating that workers 'deserve' recognition, not high-profile figures attending the gala.
The video has circulated widely across social media, accompanied bycalls from some users to boycott Amazon services and protest the event. Rodrigo's apparent engagement with the post has been interpreted by some users as support for thosecriticisms, although no confirmation has been provided by her or her representatives.
Rodrigo did not attend the Met Gala itself, despite being in New York days earlier to hostSaturday Night Live. She was later seen at an after-party linked to the event, arriving at a Saint Laurent gathering in Manhattan.
She wore avintage Vivienne Westwood dressfrom the 1990s, styled with heeled sandals. The appearance suggests she participated in post-event celebrations, despite not walking the red carpet.
Her absence from the main event has not been explained publicly.

The Met Gala, held annually in New York, serves as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. The 2026 event has faced increased scrutiny online following reports of links to Jeff Bezos, promptingcriticism from some users over corporate influence and wealth disparity.
In the video shared online, Hill addresses Bezos directly, saying that workers contribute to the success of major corporations while continuing to face financial pressure. She also calls for greater recognition of labour contributions, adding that 'there's more of us than there are of you'.
Comments responding to the post include calls to cancel Amazon subscriptions and support workers, although these views do not represent a coordinated or officially organised campaign.
