Olivia Rodrigo explains why she\u2019s started avoiding social media Instagram: oliviarodrigoSinger Olivia Rodrigo has opened up about her opinions on social media, saying that releasing music in the age of social media can be really \u201cdaunting.\u201d 19-year-old Olivia Rodrigo was previously best known for being an actress, in particular for her role in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, but after releasing her hit song \u2018Drivers License\u2019 in January 2021, she is now better known as a singer. She released her debut album \u2018Sour\u2019 in May, which featured viral hits such as \u2018Good 4 U\u2019 and \u2018Brutal,\u2019 which have garnered her even more attention online and a huge fan base to boot. Rodrigo has recently received a lot of backlash online for \u201ccopying\u201d artists like Taylor Swift and Paramore with some of her latest songs, which ultimately led to her giving them writing credit on the relevant tracks. However, that negativity is not an easy thing to shake off, and in an interview she did with Rolling Stone along with Alanis Morissette, Olivia opened up about some of the pitfalls of social media, and why she tries not to read things about herself online. After Morissette revealed she stopped reading everything about her around the age of 22 because it \u201cwasn\u2019t really relevant to [her] personal growth,\u201d Olivia related to her story. \u201cI\u2019ve had a very similar experience,\u201d she said. \u201cPutting out music in the age of social media can be really daunting, and I think people hold young women to an incredibly unrealistic standard. I\u2019ve taken the same route as you have and just don\u2019t look at it. \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone is meant to look at that stuff. I don\u2019t think we as human beings are supposed to know what thousands of people think about what we wore or what we said or how we talk.\u201d She went on to explain that she\u2019s been on Instagram since the age of 12, meaning she lived her adolescence out in front of people. \u201cI think it\u2019s hard to differentiate who you are as a person versus who you are as a person on Instagram,\u201d she said. Olivia has previously expressed her \u2018disappointment\u2019 in people trying to discredit her work regarding the copying accusations, saying that she feels as though \u201call music is inspired by each other.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
