Olivia Rodrigo may only be 19 years old, but she just had a monumental career moment -- performing with Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden.
Rodrigo surprised fans at the New York City venue on Wednesday night when she took the stage with the 73-year-old iconic singer to perform her hit, «Deja Vu,» and his 1983 classic, «Uptown Girl.»In video from the concert, Joel adoringly introduced Rodrigo from behind his piano, saying, “I love her music — and so do my kids." Playing the piano, Joel let Rodrigo have the spotlight for «Deja Vu,» in which he's mentioned in the lyrics when she sings, «I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel / 'Cause you played her 'Uptown Girl' / You're singing it together.»Olivia Rodrigo performs «deja vu» alongside Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden https://t.co/0mBVBoEib1pic.twitter.com/yUFTrH7ySEAfter that, Joel took center stage with Rodrigo for a duet of «Uptown Girl.» Olivia Rodrigo and Billy Joel perform a duet of «Uptown Girl» at Madison Square Garden https://t.co/0mBVBoEib1pic.twitter.com/r4gVU2KrVvRodrigo commemorated the epic night on her Instagram Stories, writing, «I SANG WITH BILLY JOEL AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN TODAY ARE U KIDDING,» alongside a video.
