Olivia Rodrigo Says She ‘Dated People That I Shouldn’t Have’ After Becoming Famous
etcanada.comOlivia Rodrigo is opening up about the pressure she felt after dropping Sour in 2021, the debut album that brought her stardom as well as a license to “make mistakes,” which she says was evident in the people she chose to date.
In an interview with the New York Times, the 20-year-old singer shares how her approach to life changed after finding fame. Rodrigo essentially says she wanted to be just like every other young adult with newfound freedom — the freedom to find herself without the judgment. “I had such a desire to live and experience things and make mistakes and grow after Sour came out, I kind of felt this pressure to be this girl that I thought everyone expected me to be,” she says. “And I think because of that pressure, maybe I did things that maybe I shouldn’t have — dated people I shouldn’t have.” Rodrigo doesn’t name names in the interview, but her dating history’s been the topic of conversation in just a short amount of time since she became famous.
Her most recent album, Guts, is rumoured to be about her failed romance with “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” co-star, Joshua Bassett.
In 2021, she was said to be dating 26-year-old producer Adam Faze, but the two split in early 2022. She was later linked to 27-year-old DJ Zack Bia, though the rumoured pair called it quits in August 2022.
