Does anyone else love Olivia Rodrigo?

I’m about two hundred years older than her target audience but I just love her music! The debut album Sour was so good and I love the new song Vampire. I can’t relate to what she’s singing about but she makes me feel like I can, belting it out in my car doing my best impression of a heartbroken Zoomer Grin

With all the talk about Taylor Swift I wondered if there were any fellow Olivia fans here.

I do! I really love good 4 u, especially when I'm driving Grin

afaloren · 17/07/2023 17:43

@saintava Yes! It’s such good driving music! Bringing out my inner angsty teen although I guess she’s 20 now. Still a baby!

What the fuck

megletthesecond · 17/07/2023 18:00

I do now. I can't stand drivers licence but it's been uphill since. Vampire is a fantastic pop song.

Mochudubh · 17/07/2023 18:04

Did she do that dirge about getting her driving licence? If so, no.

Backstreets · 17/07/2023 18:06

I think she’s fantastic! Her references are very 90s so I feel like her target audience even if she’s young enough to be my daughter! Very excited for the new record.

That’s an incredibly triggering thing to say. I’ve reported your post.

Yes! Love her music.

afaloren · 17/07/2023 18:28

Yay I’m not alone! I’m not a huge fan of Driver’s License either but I love most of her songs!

God no. Her voice is awful.

GoldSilverBronzeTan · 17/07/2023 18:38

Yes, good 4 u us a ‘belt it out’ tune!

thebestsellingshow · 17/07/2023 18:40

DD plays her music and I thought it was Hayley Williams from Paramore! Can't believe how similar their voices are!

Hayley Williams wrote it

GraysPapaya · 17/07/2023 18:45

I am too old for her music but I love her! Have several of her songs, love driver’s license and happier, vampire good too. I can relate to her experience of men in my younger years.

ringoutsolsticebells · 17/07/2023 18:43

No she didn't. She was given a writing credit post-release because the song has so much of her influence (and I assume to stave off a copyright claim).

AuntieMarys · 18/07/2023 10:15

Yes! I'm mid 60s. But I like a wide range of music and am not stuck in a timewarp.like some I knoe

Beezknees · 18/07/2023 10:35

I like Good 4 U! But from what I've seen of her live performances her voice isn't that great.

aSofaNearYou · 18/07/2023 11:04

I like her, yes! Hoping she can keep the momentum and her second album is just as good, Vampire was a great start, I've had it in my head since it came out!

tabulahrasa · 18/07/2023 11:10

Yep, liked sour a lot, like vampire... tried really hard to get tickets for her tour even though I’d probably be old enough to be most of the audience’s mum 🤣

Also a Taylor swift fan, I suspect there’s a fairly big crossover tbh.

CapturedLeprechaun · 18/07/2023 11:19

Oh I was utterly a fan as soon as I saw her with Lily Allen at Glastonbury singing out "Fuck you" to the Supreme Court judges and naming them by name. Love her.

(But yeah, also a swiftie, so definitely some crossover 😂)

afaloren · 19/07/2023 12:33

I don’t know how much of the music she writes herself but she seems very good for her age. I think she’s been in the business a long time, is that right?

I don't suppose there is anyone selling 2 Olivia Rodrigo seated tickets for any of the Irish gigs tia.

DuesToTheDirt · 24/03/2024 19:08

I’m about two hundred years older than her target audience but I just love her music!

That's exactly me lol. good 4 u is brilliant.

Nightsaidfred · 24/03/2024 19:56

My Dd is fascinated with her music she is brilliant 👏
