  "account": "At a BMI Troubadour Award ceremony in Nashville, Olivia Rodrigo paid tribute to Sheryl Crow by performing her hit song \"Strong Enough.\" The event, held at the BMI Nashville office, saw a lineup of renowned musicians honor the legendary artist. Jason Isbell sang \"Run, Baby, Run,\" Melissa Etheridge performed \"If It Makes You Happy,\" Eric Church did \"Leaving Las Vegas,\" Lauren Daigle covered \"Every Day Is A Winding Road,\" and Chris Stapleton played \"I Shall Believe.\" Rodrigo's appearance was a surprise, as they had previously collaborated on stage in Nashville. In 2023, they performed \"If It Makes You Happy\" at the Bluebird Café, and they reprised the song together during Crow's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Brooklyn. Their musical connection continued in 2024 when Crow joined Rodrigo at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. On this particular night, Rodrigo chose to sing \"Strong Enough,\" the beloved ballad from Crow's 1993 album \"Tuesday Night Music Club,\" which has been a favorite among the Haim sisters. The atmosphere was filled with admiration for Crow and her enduring impact on the music world.",
