Olivia Rodrigo reflects on her newfound fame: "it can scare people and make people feel different"

[Jordan Miller]

What’s the most surprising thing about fame?
It was surprising to see who was genuinely supportive of me and who wasn’t. Sometimes when you have a lot of success really quickly, it can scare people and make people feel different. That was an interesting thing to learn. I’m figuring it all out.

 

There has been a lot of talk surrounding how a rapid rise to global stardom can affect mental health (cue: Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles). How do you feel about that, given you’ve had a blistering year and are now a well-recognised superstar?
I’m taking it one step at a time. It can be really tough on your mental health, though. I’m grateful for the people who like me for me, and keep me separated from all the noise and tabloids or what people are saying about me on social media. That’s always been a top priority. It’s funny how recognition changes everything and also changes nothing in your life. The problems I was having a year ago are still the problems I’m having now, and things that brought me joy a year ago are still the things that bring me joy now. It’s just another aspect of life that you need to learn how to deal with, but it doesn’t change who you are as a person.

I think she'll be fine fame wise, honestly I don't think she's gonna surpass the hype she's having now when her second album drops.

I've seen her perform and she's not as exciting as a thought she would be.

However, Selena Gomez has built a career on blandness so who knows Olivia just might become the new queen of pop

She looks stunning on her cover

I once said Olivia Rodriguez in front of my high school students 

They must have seen me as an awkward man trying to fit in... as an uncle

But Selena in her blandness is way better than this payola and boring to look at thing. 

Did y’all catch the moment when the paps were literally annoyed by her at the MET and moved on so quick?  A MESS

If fame's too much for her to handle, she can donate all of her fortune to me.

I love how the shade can be seen from miles away.
