In 2021, Olivia Rodrigo emerges as the newest pop princess to hit the scene. Olivia, 19, became well-known in January 2021 after her song “driver’s license” went viral. After that, she released the songs “deja vu,” “good 4 u,” and eventually her album SOUR. Naturally, with her ascent to stardom, speculation about Billie and Olivia’s connection developed because they are currently the two biggest musical personalities.

In September 2021, Billie categorically refuted any rumors of competition in an interview with Elle Magazine. “It is sad because girls are trained to be in competition with each other,” the “Happier Than Ever” singer said, expressing her anger with the Hollywood culture that attempts to set women against one another.

Billie also stated in a December 2021 interview with Howard Stern that she wants to be there for Olivia at all times, offering the same guidance and support that other musicians have given her.

It is critical that individuals express themselves in such way. She clarified on The Howard Stern Show that it “makes you feel comfortable and not alone” before acknowledging that she felt especially protective of musicians like Olivia and said she wished to “put her in a glass box” to keep her safe.

Since then, the two have gotten closer, encouraging one another at award ceremonies, sharing each other’s posts on social media, and even going to each other’s performances and concerts. In a July 2021 Instagram photo of pals hugging, Billie even mentioned her fellow pop princess with the simple statement, “This is where the real love is.” Oh no!
