#OliviaRodrigo #Music #Album
she is a huge mastermind and i really believe she's gonna give the music industry even more than she had given already
LMFAOOOOOOOOIOOOOOO
Ohhhhh this comment 😅 subtle but goes over the heads of those who don’t get it!
@@hairylairy18 I'm 16 and I know a lot about life and positive change is needed! Olivia Rodrigo's my hero because she was invited to the White House and told people to wear masks!
is it ab tay? can u pls explainnn@@sharon-bp9pk
@@sharon-bp9pk TAYLOR SWIFT MY QUEEN
The fact that she has a full control of her masters is just so smart.
Can we acknowledge that the reason she has complete control of her masters is only because others paved the way for her?
"I know someday I'm gonna meet her, it's a fever dream
The kind of radiance you only have at 17
She'll know the way, and then she'll say she got the map from me
I'll say I'm happy for her, then I'll cry myself to sleep"
@@roxannemetivier boohoo
@@jacksonc8348 what a well-structured and constructive little comment
@roxannemetivier we already know. There's no need to bring it up because it isn't about her and many people STILL didn't learn
@@Alex-cw1ph Well actually a lot of people don't know! I am pointing out that it is not "just so smart" and that there is a reason behind her having full control of her masters.
I loved this interview, there were no condescending or salacious questions like the ones singers like Britney Spears had to deal with twenty years ago. Olivia comes across as a very down-to-earth, very grateful and almost shy person, which makes her songwriting so much more believable. We love you, Olivia, keep processing life through your music, it helps us all!
Yeah. Of course the media has a long way to go to treating female-stars well, it is SO much better then the absolute hellscape it once was. Really makes me have hope the future.
britney spears never wrote so much as a greeting card and had less musical talent than the interviewer here. so please
She is very talented and very, very smart. I hope she stays grounded for a very long time!!
@@I-Will-Destroy-Uhaters gonna hate as per swift lol
@@I-Will-Destroy-Utaylor is phenomenal but her career will eventually run its course like every big celebrity. New talents of this generation will take centerstage like Olivia
@@Jungaloowi333you wish. All Olivia does is copy songs
@@Jungaloowi333ok I’m not a swifite but even I’ll admit that Taylor Swift will be around for a long while. She has undying fans, my cousin is one of them and they’ll buy and stream anything she puts out
@@kavyasingh2309pop is generic, and considering it’s based on the same chords over and over again everyone is inspired by each other without noticing. They just love witch hunting her atm cause it became a thing and they feel threatened since she’s bold enough to change the tone in the mainstream a bit. Not saying she’s inventing something new since she’s obviously inspired by 2000s edgy teen music. But as of atm she’s the only one going this direction while many haven’t expand and experimented with their music individually at all.
Olivia is so likable and so talented. She's someone girls of all ages can look up to.
big props to Willie giest for being so nice to Olivia. Made this interview so comfy and made her feel at ease
I'm quite sure that Olivia has the MSNBC Political Seal of Approval, and wants to be BFF with this influential Star.
She speaks for all the 20-something-year-old teenagers 😭
@@faithf5670 it’s so true 😭
She speaks for all women, regardless of age.
A 20 something is a young adult. Not a teenager.
@@roddo1955 it’s a joke 👍🏽
20 yrs old or older is not a teenager ..that's an adult.
So talented! I can see her going so far. Hopefully she doesn’t let the haters get to her
Haters ? Literally no one is hating on her !!!
@@Lukereads0that’s just not true at all
@@Lukereads0literally a lot of the replies to comments on this video
She's amazing my daughter absolutely loves her
Well I hope your daughter doesn't become like her
@@kavyasingh2309successful and extremely emotionally intelligent and vulnerable???… weirdo
@@yvette-fl I hope your daughter doesn't become someone who disrespects other peoples feelings, steal stuff and only cares about fame instead of being a good human
@@noitsbecky.4291 the exact opposite of that
@@kavyasingh2309please stop trolling for likes and get a job
I love that her songs aren’t oversexualized, yea there’s some adult stuff in there obviously but it’s not overkill. I’m a 30+ yr old woman who also loves the Weeknd so I’m impartial to music with that type of content, but it’s nice to see a really young artist not being in a rush to grow up any faster than they already are lol. I’m sure her music will evolve as she gets older. I love the stuff she has out currently 😊
I agree, although this album was a bit more suggestive than sour it was still "innocent" enough
Yes, soon enough she'll be in her "Miley Cyrus" part of her career...
I'm 39, and I'm a BIG FAN. I can tell GENUINE TALENT when I see one. Rodrigo is here to stay.
First time seeing Olivia’s live performance of Vampire in front of a crowd and her voice is so incredible. She’s very talented and Guts is really good. Not to mention, she gets more prettier each time I see her.
I just love Olivia so much, she really has a big future up of ahead and she’s so talented, sweet and beautiful. Her new album is everything and I’m forever proud of her. She’s the next face for the future of the music industry.
Such a boss at 20 she’s so inspiring
She’s awesome and her new album is incredible! It topped SOUR in my opinion. She’s growing so much artistically
oh i didn’t know olivia owned her masters, that’s amazing
Probably because she is molding herself after Taylor and copying her where ever she can.
@@user-vd4mn3lu9e it's important for ANY artist/band/group to have their masters. please educate yourself
Shoot, I’m 36 and I absolutely adore this girl.
Her songs are so catchy and relatable. I love her 90’s punk influence and all the minuscule things like her background vocals and instrumental add ons. She writes all of her music, it’s all her and I respect it. She’s one of very few artists to make me feel through through music.
She’s also very versatile. She writes beautiful ballads and hard bops.
She’s dope af. ❤
oppps Im 50 and yet i love her and her music :D
32
Totally feel you on the 90s punk influence. She had me hooked since "Man, it's brutal out here"!
I'm 51, and it's great hearing a young artist with real music. She's even using chords in her respective keys that others don't use today. She's breaking the boring mold.
And I'm 40. Lol
She's something else, so talented & so young! It'll be interesting to watch her career unfold.
She rocked the concert on Friday. I LOVED IT!!!❤❤❤ Even though I saw it on TV it was amazing!!!
I'm 2 years older than her, yet I still have immense respect for her and her musics. I just feel so connected to most of her songs eventhough I'm a male. I used to look up to Billie, and still is. But she's my current fav pop artist these days. ❤
Samee
So do you still have your Barbie dolls as a kid?
@@User8vfjhejf Lol
She’s so iconic I love her
I’m 36 and I am in awe of her music. ❤
This was an amazing interview! Big props to Willie Geist for asking all the questions without making it weird. Olivia is an amazing talent and seems to be wise well beyond her years. She has an incredible maturity along with her youthfulness that will take her so much further on her journey. I’m so glad she has people looking out for her best interests since it’s not the norm with young artists and it hasn’t turned out well for too many. Olivia Ridrigo has a big world to conquer and she’s doing everything right to make that happen! Way to go Olivia! Such a beautiful young woman with so much to offer!! ❤👏
Just to get this off my chest but PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who wants Olivia and Sabrina to collab one day
I would honestly love that! I really like both of there music. Plus, I personally think a lot of the “feud” stuff is just bs at his point and I think a collab might actually get fans to calm down a bit.
Yes yes yes
That would actually prob be such a banger because they're mirroring energies and so beautiful and amazing singers
@@alid0228 I’m just waiting now lol
(SEE EDIT) Listen I absolutely love Taylor Swift and I love Olivia too, but people are making way too big a deal about the master recordings thing. Taylor got the idea from Kelly Clarkson who told her about how Reba McIntire had done the same thing. Just because Taylor’s re-recordings have been very publicised doesn’t mean that other artists haven’t done it before and that other artists can’t do it in the future (in fact, I would think Taylor would be on board with artists doing this). Stop pitting women against other women.
EDIT: just to be clear, the main purpose of this article is say that artists have negotiated contracts to own their masters or re-recorded in order to own their masters before, it’s just that Taylor situation has been heavily publicised. Taylor has never official came out and said (to my knowledge at least) that she got the idea through Reba via Kelly (her daughter-in-law). That being said, Taylor had openly discussed in multiple interviews her frustration with not owning her masters and the situation with Scooter Braun and Big Machine all the way back in 2019 and said that owning them was something she always wanted to do. Taylor announced she would be re-recording her old records about a month after Kelly posted her tweet and a lot of Taylor’s fans think this is where she got the inspiration (apparently, so does Scooter Braun he apparently called Kelly Clarkson’s manager regarding the matter). And would it really be the worse thing in the world if she didn’t come up with the idea herself? I certainly don’t think of her _any_ differently because of it. I will still continue to support Taylor like I always have.
Taylor Swift fans are so annoying
Don’t compare children to women.
THIS! All Taylor ever wants to do is inspire other artists. I mean think of all the other great women in music in the past and the people women who rose up right under them. All Taylor is doing is helping to raise the next generation of women musicians. It’s no wonder Olivia wants to be like Taylor and there is nothing wrong with that. The beef is fake and even if there is a little tension it’s because fans and fandoms make it up and then that has an affect on the Artists, Taylor taught Olivia a lesson about giving credit where credit is due. Yes there are tons of sampled songs that don’t give credit to the originals but I think because this happened while Taylor was trying to prove a point, she needed to be credited on that song for it to happen. Some artist do reach out to the people they sample from, some don’t care to be credited and some do 🤷♀️ Olivia could have been where Sabrina is but obviously she did disconnect from Taylor for some reason and maybe it’s Just that Olivia already had a plan for the way her career is going. I mean Sabrina has already headlined a tour, she didn’t need to open for Taylor but wanted to anyway. Also I think the beef between Olivia and Sabrina has also been blown out of proportion due to fans
@I-Will-Destroy-ULet me guess... your source is tiktok?
Taylor is in her 30s and in a few years will be in her 40s. Some in her obsessive fandom needs to literally Grow Up! They are just embarrassing themselves.
shes gonna do an ERAs like tour 9 years from now❤❤
In the future yeah and even other singers would do Eras Tour inspiration to celebrate the past albums 😁😁
She will never be as good as Taylor
@@kavyasingh2309she’s definitely not as good as Taylor. She’s okay. Definitely better then most
@@kavyasingh2309 😁
@@kavyasingh2309youre in every comment. Leave her alone. This hate obsession is weird
Love her strong voice. I don’t know if she likes r and b music but hands down she could rock that too. I was a teen in the 80s and her music gives me 80s and 90s vibe. U can hear the Alanis M, Gwen Stefani influence in her music
She does like R&B! One of her fav artists is Beyonce.
So eloquent. Love her
I really respect her not disclosing what songs are about- up to each member of her audience to decide for themselves :)
And then decide whom they wanna send death threats to...themselves, right?
@@kavyasingh2309but if she did say who the songs were about, people would do that anyways, probably even more so because they had actual proof. I’m not trying to be rude or disrespectful at all, but I don’t see your point. What would you rather her do?
so what do you want her to do? Not make music at all? Girls damned if she do and if she doesn’t jesus
@@jamiegdubois she should at least tell her fans not to do extreme things like sending death threats
@@kyungsoosmainhoe7305 she is talented. There's no doubt in that. But she needs to tell her fans to behave themselves. They sent josh and Sabrina death threats. That's not normal or healthy
"Really good songs don't come from you, they come through you. It's something else, it's a magical thing." ~OR2023
I think Michael Jackson said the same thing 😍
Or sometimes they don’t come from you because they are copied.
@@Lovely-sv1yeshut up bitter
@@arihomie it’s a fact, sometimes songs are copied. No need to be bitter.
Something about her, reminds me of young Britney Spears. Something in her eyes and her sincerity. I wish her all the best in her journey and I hope she surrounds herself with good people because I feel like she will have a long beautiful career.
She’s super creative and really smart. Her songs are very catchy
I can’t wait til she releases her tour dates☺️💜
Happy for her. She writes thoughtful music with catchy tracks. Hopefully she’ll keep going 🎶
She's so talented!
I'm so proud of olivia Gut is a great album She's an amazing songwriter, and her vocals are everything!! The way she can express her feelings so good through her voice in every song is amazing she give me sometime Avril Lavigne vibes sometime has bright future ahead of her in music .
Shes going to break the internet
Angel on earth. We must protect her
She’s a national treasure.
My girl asked me to buy her a CD and CD player just for this album, it made me happy, she is 12 and she loves it, thanks Olivia! 💕
Olivia Rodrigo is my everything Periodt
I love Olivia Rodrigo 💜
@I-Will-Destroy-Ui love Olivia im 33
30 here❤
@I-Will-Destroy-U stop with the misogyny its 2023
She is two years younger than me but her music absolutely captures so much. I am hoping she is in the industry for a very long time.
Her writing connects far beyond the spans of her generation. I’m what some would call a “Zillennial” (in-between the lines of Gen Z and Millennial) and I wish I would’ve had her songs when I was in high school. They really speak to the true teenage experience in general which I think hasn’t been done before in such a genuine and realistic way.
Taylor Swift?
I love TS, but her songs do not come out as angsty as Olivia does.@@abbied
@@opinionatedinsect Maybe Avril Lavigne? 😕🤷🏻♀️
My favorite song from sour is “favorite crime” ❤️🚓
and my favorite song from guts is “get him back”👩❤️💋👨
literally the two best songs on planet earth🌎
Favorite crime is criminally underrated (pun fully intended)
@@jamiegdubois lol. So true tho 😝😜
She literally never misses! Her albums are no skips
Her writing and lyrics and sound are all just INCREDIBLE!!! Especially for being only 20!!!
Dan Nigro co-write most of her songs.
Wow. I love her so much ❤❤❤❤
this was such a great interview/er
She is great. Though I am a few years older then she is I relate soo much to her and her musical content.
I’m in my late 20s and I still really enjoy her music because it reminds me of the time I was that age and I think anyone who’s been in love or been through heartbreak can relate to her on some level
Olivia is a singer and beautiful talented artist! She is amazing! 🤩⭐️ I love her! Olivia is on fire 🔥 on her new album! 🎵🎤🎧🎼 She is rocking it on stage in New York City on Friday! She is the best! 😊🤩⭐️😃😀 Love you Olivia! ❤😍🥰❤️💖💙💕🩵💜💚💝💞

She’s amazing!! I love her music so much, this is the most i’ve ever related to an artist. ❤❤
You know, good for her
Victoria secret fashion should have her ❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE YOU OLIVIA!!!!! 💜
Answer is simple: if she says who the songs are about they can sue her for defamation
When does the full length episode come out? I checked on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and it's not there.
How is she so mature!!!!
I really like Logical and loved both of her albums.
when u gotta make a 60 second interview last 8 minutes lol
Great interview. Love the new album.
Great interview. Wish I could have listened more.
💜💜💜 AWW LOVE HERR

Love Oliviaaaa❤
So smart and articulate. Loving her more and more.
Absolutely gorgeous, hard-working lovely young girl Olivia is ❤
LIv is amazing :)
Ownership of all her masters ❤ that’s insane
💜🦋
Olivia Rodrigo is my music artists
I notice that media has been supportive on new artists. Less toxic than what it used to.
She's looking fabulous!!
She’s so sweet and articulate. I wish her all the success. She really does deserve it. 🤍
I love the arrangements she is able to craft using a variety of instruments and her backing band is very very good. Well spoken, smart and extremely talented. She has a really bright future.
I love her
I frikin love this girl
She's so mature and the way he talks! Like wow! He's so eloquent and well spoken.
“Got together on Friday for a Sunday sit down” make sense.
huge talent and effin GORGEOUS ! Hope she keeps her head on straight !
Started out at twelve. Now, a veteran singer/songwriter at seventeen.
❤
OLIVIA ❤❤❤
She can sing
I like it when you sing Paramore songs😎
Owns her masters
People do believe she writes her own songs
She isn’t criticized for writing about heartbreak
It is incredible how much Taylor Swift changed the world for new artists, specially female. They should be thankful someone paved the way for them!
Ijbol
Yep
Oh please. The obsession is weird.
This song is about Taylor
God I love her soo much
💜💜💜💜💜💜
homegirl doesn't wanna get sued. Take note of the message of the song and let her be
She’s amazing!
She is super smart
