You find your favorite artists for life during the toughest times, because they are the ones who were meant to get you through. Their music is what you press play on when you want to escape reality and it comforts you in a way that nothing and no one else can. We have all been there and if you haven’t, good for you! For a lot of fans, Olivia Rodrigo was present when they needed her the most as her lyrics describe exactly how they feel.
Some might know Olivia from her acting days, playing Nini in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series until she decided to fully step into her music career. And as they say, the rest is history. Today, she is one of the biggest young popstars, traveling the world playing stadium shows for thousands and thousands of people. But while she has risen to fame pretty quickly, she is still a girl growing up who feels insecure at times and will make mistakes along the way, just like we all do.
Her fans describe the pop princess as brave, fearless, strong and loving which couldn’t be more true. To them, she has the purest soul in the entire world and she is way more than what you see on the internet. She puts immense effort into perfecting her music and connecting with her audience, showing a level of artistry and commitment that is truly admirable.
Olivia is definitely one of a kind and has done more for this generation of young people than she will ever know. There are people out there whose lives she saved by sharing parts of her own story and experiences and being brutally honest and vulnerable. She can make someone feel less alone and understood in a crowd of 20.000 people, just by playing her music. With that, she makes these moments very special and unforgettable.
Imagine being 21 and showing a whole generation that it’s ok not to be ok and to embrace and express their vulnerabilities. They learned how to be the best versions of themselves and that loving someone is never a waste of time. Today, they aren’t afraid of the future anymore and they know that honesty can lead to healing and connection with others. Real impact is what you measure success by, not numbers or awards.
One thing that Olivia and her team know how to do better than most is running an official fan account that gives the fans exactly what they want and more. They understand the importance of fan engagement and making fans a part of every campaign. Clearly, or @livieshq wouldn’t have 2 Million followers! It’s setting the perfect example of how it should be done and it’s time everyone takes inspiration from it and starts catching the wave.
After two very successful studio albums, Olivia can proudly say that she has changed the lives of millions of fans around the world and healed hearts she didn’t break. She brought people together, helped create friendships that will last a lifetime and made her own mark in an industry that can be sour at times, but we all know that she has the guts of a rockstar who is just getting started.
