Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, Olivia said: “It was such an honor to go and support such an important cause that I feel so passionately about. Everyone was just so kind. I got to meet Biden and Fauci.”
“The White House is just the coolest place. I was so nervous to go, but I walked in there, and there are all these plates, like George Washington used to eat his dinner on that I’m like, all of this crazy stuff, and I was just scared I was gonna sneeze and break such priceless artifacts.”

President Biden then handed her a bag of gifts with a pair of Ray-Bans, some M&Ms, and a shoehorn, which she described as “strange.”
“It had like the Presidential emblem on it. I’m serious it’s in my house,” she added.
On her way to the studio, the 18-year-old singer showed her penchant for ‘90s pop-punk style. She highlighted her figure in a No Dress olive green satin midi skirt teamed with a Pristine “Candy Tartan” corset top with black lace ruffled trims and ribbon straps.

The Drivers License hitmaker also shared that she began playing piano and writing songs when she was nine.
“I think songwriting is a great medium to express emotions like that, that you know aren’t really fun to talk about. It’s kind of this nice therapeutic way to talk about feelings that are uncomfortable.”

“I look up to her so much, and I just think she’s the coolest person and the most amazing songwriter, and it was such an honor to meet her.”
“She gave me dating advice too, which I think is so cool. To get dating advice from Alanis Morissette, like that’s pretty iconic,” she added.
