It seems that for Olivia Rodrigo, her best friends come first, then her dating life. When asked about the “phase of love” she’s currently in, this is what she said.
“Oh my God. I’m in the most important stage, the love of a friendship that I’m sitting right across from. The best friend, the love of community. Dating is the cherry on top,” she tells Cosmopolitan.
Apart from his personal life, Rodrigo is gearing up for his third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which is due out on June 12.
There is a lot of anticipation for his album, yet for the Traitor hitmaker, the scale of success is different.
“Even if my album flops and no one likes it, if I feel like it’s real, this is me, and I’m exactly where I need to be, then that will feel like success. But personally, I’d rather be surrounded by people I love.”
But amid all this, there has also been pressure behind his hit films. Rodrigo gives SOUR – his first album – and GUTS – his second album – as examples.
“We didn’t have time to revise on SOUR. The whole world was watching. I wrote, and we just recorded and put it out.”
“Then with Courage, I was under so much pressure, like, ‘Oh my God, I’ll never make another good song.’ It wasn’t even about making music for the sake of making music. It was making music to make people happy or to prove something,” he concluded.
