Olivia Rodrigo

Yeah, I'm just very protective of like younger women and girls.

And I just I don't ever want them to be big fed that rhetoric, I guess.

And also protect their right as they grow up to do whatever it is, whatever it ends up being.

It's like a weird cult.

It's like, yeah, you shouldn't be responsible for some guy sexualizing you in a way that was never your intention.

Like, yeah.

One thing that I was curious about listening to this album, you talked about girls in your audience seeing nine-year-olds, ten-year-olds cry.

What do you want people to actually take away from the album?

Are you telling them a story about...

a romantic relationship?

Are you telling them a story about emotional development?

Are you just making songs you hope people will sing along to?

What's the thing?

Like obviously the finished product is a collection of songs, but there's more.

What do you want those girls to listen to on the day it comes out to listen to?

What do you want them to feel and think?

Yeah, that's a great question.

I mean, I want them to like kind of be along for the ride in the story because this is a story.

It's like the beginning, a middle and an end.

I think like the goal for any piece of work for me would be like to provide some sense of like emotional catharsis.
