Alanis Morissette headlined the second night of Brandi Carlile's three-day Mothership Weekend in Miramar Beach, Fla., and fans were treated with an unexpected duet when Carlile joined Morissette onstage to pay tribute to Olivia Newton-John. "I was obsessed with Olivia since I was three," Morissette said to the crowd. "I saw her movie [ Grease ] in French in Avignon, France, and I was instantly besotted and my whole life's trajectory changed. Using a nail polish bottle as a microphone." Morissette also revealed that her friend is working on a documentary about the late Grease star, and that in the middle of the documentary "Pink and a bunch of epic women are singing Hopelessly Devoted to You" — which inspired the acoustic duet.
