“I’m so in love with her, I want to marry her,” Rodrigo told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe of Cardi B earlier this year. She also loves her “Get Up 10” hit song from Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy debut studio album.
“One of the lyrics is like, ‘Real b—-, only thing fake is boobs.’ And I was like, ‘Yes, that’s the energy.’ I’m obsessed with her. I love Invasion of Privacy.”

Olivia Rodrigo Opens Up About Mental Health and Life in the Spotlight
In an interview with Vogue Singapore this month, she admitted that being famous is “really tough” on her mental health.
“I’m taking it one step at a time. It can be really tough on your mental health, though. I’m grateful for the people who like me for me, and keep me separated from all the noise and tabloids or what people are saying about me on social media. That’s always been a top priority. It’s funny how recognition changes everything and also changes nothing in your life.”
“The problems I was having a year ago are still the problems I’m having now, and things that brought me joy a year ago are still the things that bring me joy now. It’s just another aspect of life that you need to learn how to deal with, but it doesn’t change who you are as a person,” she added.

“I’m comfortable being vulnerable with people, and many times people associate vulnerability with weakness. From a young age, I realized that vulnerability equates to strength, and that’s so true in my songwriting. If I wasn’t so comfortable in my emotions, I wouldn’t have made Sour and it wouldn’t have had that same result,” Olivia said about being proud of her vulnerability.

“It was surprising to see who was genuinely supportive of me and who wasn’t. Sometimes when you have a lot of success really quickly, it can scare people and make people feel different. That was an interesting thing to learn. I’m figuring it all out,” she revealed about becoming famous quickly.
