THE RUNDOWN
- Olivia Rodrigo spoke to British Vogue about her upcoming third album, revealing its focus on love.
- The star did not discuss Louis Partridge amid questions about their relationship status but opened up about her experience dating over the years.
- She also discussed her supportive relationship with Sabrina Carpenter years after the “drivers license” drama.
As Olivia Rodrigo gears up to release her third album, the singer gave her first major interview on the project, telling British Vogue it would be full of “sad love songs.” She avoided giving an update on her relationship status with Louis Partridge, choosing instead to let her music speak for it. She did, however, discuss her bond with Sabrina Carpenter years after the “drivers license” drama and the reality of dating as a celebrity.
Over a year after a video of Carpenter and Rodrigo hugging at the 2025 Grammys made headlines, Rodrigo revealed they’re very supportive of each other. “I think she’s great,” she said. “I’m so happy for all of her success too. I love the album she’s put out.” She acknowledged when it comes to their relationship, “people just get weird and clickbaity—it’s all love, though. I’ve talked to her many times.”
Rodrigo really opened up about her experience dating since becoming famous in her teens. When asked if she was thinking of marriage, the 23-year-old star replied, “Oh my gosh, long way from that, for sure!”
She added, “I hope that young girls know that life is full of so much joy that is unrelated to a husband or kids. But, uh…that being said, I want to be a mom more than anything. I already feel like I’ve done a lot in my career that I’ve wanted to do and feel more mature for my age than maybe I should. So I don’t know…”
Dating since becoming famous has had its challenges, she admitted: “I felt I didn’t randomly run into people. I’m working in the studio with my producer all day…I’m more precocious with work—I had a lot of responsibilities [early]—but in stuff like dating I’m still really young and learning.”
She revealed she tried Raya for a month after she released Sour but abandoned it after one date. “I was like, ‘Wow, never again. It was just so bad,’” she recalled. “I didn’t even see anyone cool! I thought I would see, like, ooh, some really hot actor guy. I don’t even know any of these people…It’s [always] some weird ‘creative director.’ Like, you just don’t have a job.”
From there, she decided to slide into people’s DMs “sometimes,” she said, admitting, “I had a pretty high success rate at the time… But what does success mean? Going on a date? Sure. Were they good? No! It’s so cringe thinking about my younger self dating. I just want to grab my shoulders. Like, ‘Girl, what? What are you doing?!’”
She added she’s not a big fan of situationships, saying more broadly of herself, “I’m definitely a lover girl. Like, I want to be in something committed and so in love. And yeah, it’s hard these days.”
