Olivia Rodrigo brings a four-song concert set to the Department of Motor Vehicles for this special Tiny Desk (HOME) Concert. What a perfect setting for the now GRAMMY Nominated Singer and Songwriter. Olivia hits us with a stripped-down set of good 4 u, traitor, drivers license, and deja vu.
If you're in the US and UK, Olivia is hitting the stage for her 2022 Sour Tour. Get all the details here. But for now, let's enjoy this virtual concert, thanks to NPR from the comfort of our own homes.
We all want to protect Olivia Rodrigo at all cost because we can't get enough of her. We finally catch her debut late night show interview on Jimmy Kimmel. She talks about visiting the White House and her initiative on encouraging young people to get vaccinated, she's also reached the threshold of over a billion streams on Spotify, and what's next for her music.
Olivia recalls her visit to the White House earlier this year and hanging out with President Biden himself. She mentioned she received gifts from her visit like the aviators, M&Ms, and a shoe horn with the presidential seal. That's uhm... very interesting but at least the sunglasses balance it out.
She's asked about what's next for her music even with SOUR still soaring the charts and new radio singles coming out. Songwriting is therapeutic for Olivia as it describes her feelings that are uncomfortable, she said "you can be a happy person and still be upset sometimes." Preach, Olivia!
What she was happy about was meeting Alanis Morisette for their Rolling Stone cover. With similar career paths, they chatted about starting out on TV, shared dating advice, and the move to music. With SOUR being so successful and reaching over a billion stream on Spotify, we can't help think when's the next album coming and what would it be called? Obliviously "sweet" would make sense, but Olivia is keeping it all under-wraps for now.
Olivia also performed her current single, "Traitor" to close out the show. Check it out below!

Olivia Rodrigo surprises everyone with a new music video to her current single, "Traitor." The video gives off retro vibes as she reminisces over past memories and relationships. Catch her newest visualizer below and let us know what you think! Which of her videos have been your favorite so far, tweet us @myxnews
Also earlier this week, Olivia was featured on Rolling Stone's Musician on Musicians with Alanis Morissette. They chat about becoming a superstar at an early age, the power of anger, and life in the public eye. An open and unfiltered conversation between these artists who are huge fans of each other.
There may be an age difference between Olivia and Alanis but they've carved similar careers from starting careers on television and then stepping out to a music career afterwards. Rolling Stone described "both of their careers exploding beyond their wildest expectations when they switched their focus to music. They released blockbuster albums that used intensely personal details to strike universal chords of heartbreak having hit singles whose music videos feature them navigating mixed feelings in a moving vehicle (“Drivers License” and “Ironic”)."
