For Olivia Rodrigo, it seems, her besties come first, then her dating life. This is what she implies when asked about the “phase of love” she is currently in.
“Oh my god. I’m in the most important phase, the friendship love that I’m sitting right across from. Best friend, community love. Dating is just the cherry on top,” she tells Cosmopolitan.
Aside from her personal life, Rodrigo gears up for her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, set to come out on June 12.
There is a high anticipation for her album, yet for the traitor hitmaker, the metric for success is different.
“Even if my album flops and nobody likes it, if I feel like this is real, this is me, and I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, then it’ll feel like success. But personally, I’d love to be surrounded by people I love.”
But amid this, there had been pressure behind her hits. Rodrigo offers SOUR – her first album – and GUTS – her second album – as examples.
“We didn’t have time for revisions on SOUR. The whole world was watching. I wrote, and we just fucking recorded and put it out.”
“Then with GUTS, I was under so much pressure, like, ‘Oh my god, I’m never going to be able to make another good song.’ It wasn’t even making music to make music. It was making music to please people or prove something,” she concludes.
