Comments posted with the audience footage showed that some Cure fans came away with greater respect for Rodrigo. One highly rated response declared that she had won the “coolympics” for life. That commenter, who identified as a fan of The Cure and said Rodrigo was among the few younger artists they currently liked, was pleased that her platform could lead a new generation of listeners toward the band.

Other viewers emphasized Rodrigo’s familiarity with earlier music. One marveled that she had performed with Robert Smith at only 22 and claimed that no one else was currently matching her. Another singled out her knowledge of music history, praising her for valuing and honoring the original musicians behind work that influenced those who followed.

A man in his fifties said he was not part of Rodrigo’s presumed teenage-girl audience but remained engaged throughout her performance. He reported being impressed and entertained from beginning to end, with parts of the set moving him to tears. He also praised her band, described the show as strong pop-rock entertainment, and said Rodrigo connected with the audience while appearing genuinely honored to perform at Glastonbury. In a comparison with Charli XCX, he argued that Rodrigo had delivered the kind of set the festival deserved. A final commenter offered a shorter assessment, saying Rodrigo and Smith had succeeded emphatically and naming them the best performers of Glastonbury.
