After releasing the hit “Drivers License”, the Gen Z singer’s life changed in an instant.

The 64th Grammy Awards took place on April 3 in Las Vegas (USA), after more than 2 months of delay due to the pandemic. This year’s race for the Golden Horn became more intense when the 4 major awards (or “Big Four”), including “Record of the Year”, “Song of the Year”, “Album of the Year” and “Best New Artist”, were increased to 10.

Along with the other strong candidates with a series of nominations, Olivia Rodrigo is an equally formidable face when appearing in the 4 most important categories. She is expected to become the 3rd artist to win the “Big Four” at the same time, following Christopher Cross (in 1981) and Billie Eilish (in 2020).

Despite missing out on “Song of the Year,” the 64th Grammys were still a big win for the Gen Z singer. Olivia Rodrigo took home three golden trumpets, including “Best Pop Solo Performance” for “Drivers License.” The other two awards were “Best New Artist” and “Best Album” for “Sour.”

The awards night became even more memorable for Olivia Rodrigo when she had an accident. After leaving the audience, the singer went backstage to take photos and answer questions. However, she unfortunately caused one of the three golden Grammy trumpets to fall and break in half.

Olivia Rodrigo was surprised. She quickly calmed down and reattached the horn backstage with her assistant.

From Disney actor to pop star in an instant

Olivia Rodrigo (born 2003) first appeared on screen in a commercial for clothing retailer Old Navy. Shortly after, at the age of 12 (in 2015), she debuted as the lead role of Grace Thomas in the film “An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success”. A year later, Olivia Rodrigo moved to Disney and played Paige Olvera in “Bizaardvark”.

In 2019, she was cast as the lead role of Nini Salazar-Roberts in Disney+’s “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.” For the show’s soundtrack, Olivia wrote the song “All I Want” and co-wrote “Just for a Moment” with co-star Joshua Bassett.

Olivia’s “High School Musical” hits shot up the US charts after she performed them. The singer-songwriter consciously tried to break out of the Disney mold and create her own identity. She posted her cuts on social media, cultivating a loyal following.

A self-confessed fan, Olivia couldn’t resist performing a few covers of Taylor Swift songs. One of them was “Cruel Summer,” which was shared by Taylor Swift herself. Rodrigo then wrote “Deja Vu,” which was inspired by Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer.”

18-year-old Olivia Rodrigo says her life changed in just one week, after she released her debut single “Drivers License” in January 2021. The song, a powerful expression of teenage angst, has captured the hearts of young people around the world.

It topped both the UK and US charts, breaking huge Spotify records. It was the most streamed song in a single day and reached 100 million streams in the fastest time ever in Spotify history. The song is rumoured to be about her ex-boyfriend and co-star Joshua Bassett.

Following the success of “Drivers License”, Olivia released her second single “Deja Vu” in April. In May 2021, she released the song “Good 4 U” and her debut album “Sour”. The album includes Olivia Rodrigo’s top hits, such as “Good 4 U” – a song that reached number one worldwide.

Coming out of Disney’s “candy factory of dreams,” Olivia Rodrigo won awards for articulating the anger, conflict and struggle of American teenagers. Multiculturalism (her father is Filipino-American and her mother has German and Irish ancestry) has helped the Gen Z vocalist.

Olivia Rodrigo is known for conveying her message clearly, without fluff or distraction.

The Gen Z singer once said she wanted to be a songwriter, not “the biggest pop star who ever lived.” Olivia Rodrigo revealed that she chose to sign with Interscope/Geffen Records because the label’s CEO praised her songwriting ability, not her “potential star quality.”

Huge assets after more than a year of singing

At the age of 19, Olivia Rodrigo owns a fortune that many people dream of. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her total net worth is no less than 114 billion VND. This is quite an impressive achievement for someone who has just entered the entertainment industry in a short period of time.

Most of Olivia Rodrigo’s income comes from music, songwriting, and acting. In addition, the Gen Z star can earn tens to hundreds of billions of dong through social media posts. Currently, Olivia Rodrigo has about 25.6 million followers on social media platforms.

Still in her teens, Olivia Rodrigo has developed an incredible sense of fashion. Like a true Gen Zer, Olivia Rodrigo loves experimenting with different fashion styles to create unique and authentic looks.

Anyone familiar with the star knows that Olivia Rodrigo absolutely loves a good fashion item. She’s willing to splash out on it.

At previous red carpet events, Olivia Rodrigo has attracted attention with outfits that show off her body’s charm but are still subtle and not too much. Over time, the singer’s wardrobe has gradually shown maturity.
