Phoebe Bridgers
Phoebe Bridgers is an award-winning American indie-folk singer-songwriter. She is also a member of boygenius, who released two EPs before they went on hiatus and then a studio album after they reunited in 2023. Phoebe was also a member of ‘supergroup’ Better Oblivion Community Center, with whom she released a studio album before returning to her solo career.
As a solo artist, Phoebe has released two studio albums: Stranger in the Alps in 2017 and Punisher in 2020. In 2024, she won four Grammy Awards for: Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. In the same year she won a Brit Award for Best International Group for boygenius.
In 2022, Phoebe teamed up with a Los Angeles restaurant called HomeState to create a vegan taco for charity. The vegan taco was named after Phoebe’s dog, Maxine, and proceeds from its sales went to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), a community organisation advocating for children and families in child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
In a Nylon interview, first published in 2021 but updated in 2024, Phoebe is reportedly a vegan. She told the online magazine about being a vegan in LA:
“What’s funny about Erewhon and all the LA shit is like, you can just have whatever now,” Bridgers, a vegan, muses. “Veganism and vegetarianism used to be an easy way to get healthy. Now it’s like, ‘You want a f*cking donut that has adaptogens in it and CBD?’” Healthy junk food is an expensive illusion, she recognizes, but if it’s her biggest vice, then so be it. “I’m a big believer in $18 treats,” she adds. “I see my friends buying cartons of cigarettes before we go to Europe because they don’t have the right ones. I’m like, ‘I’ll stick with the CBD brownies.’”
