His performance, which featured backup dancers and a crown of thorns on Lamar's head, ended with "Saviour" from Big Steppers and a chant: "Godspeed for women's rights, they judge you, they judge Christ." The statement made Lamar one of several artists at Glastonbury appearing to address the Supreme Court's reversal of the constitutional right to an abortion; Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish also discussed the rollback of Roe Vs. Wade during their sets.
