On writing about heartbreak on her album, Sour: “At first I was like, ‘I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to be pigeonholed’…I’m a songwriter who writes from a place of authenticity and truth. And truthfully, love and happiness and everything weren’t feelings that I was feeling at the time. And what’s the point of putting out a record if it isn’t something that you feel is important to say to people?”

On the handwritten letter she received from Taylor Swift: “I don’t want to divulge too much because it’s really sweet and personal. But she talks a lot about how, I think, you make your own luck in the world. And when you do kind things to others, good things come your way…I don’t know, she put it so eloquently, and when I say it now… it’s not as cool.”

On her dream of collaborating with other artists as a writer: “The second the album cycle for this is over and I’m not traveling, that’s the one thing that I want to do so bad. I always said that I wanted to do that: Maybe when I was, like, 30 or something and I had kids — I’d stop making music and just write for other people. Because I just love songwriting. I love songwriting more than putting out songs.”

Olivia Rodrigo was spotted flying into a city to do something big in her career.
