Olivia Rodrigo is admitting she’s not a fan of the Los Angeles party scene.
The 23-year-old singer made the confession in an interview with British Vogue.
“I had an era, for sure, when I was going to weird parties and excited by the new town that I had just been invited into ... and very quickly realized that that's not my scene. Just weird clubs with weird fucking people," she admitted.
Rodrigo explained that she tries “to live a very chill, normal life,” highlighting how little interest she has in celebrity excess.
She contrasted this with her love for London, calling it “a different dose of reality” and appreciating that she doesn't feel hounded by paparazzi.
“How wonderful is this? It's a great little day we're spending here!” she said. “‘Maybe I'm not big in the UK!’ I had that thought when I first arrived here, and no one was being weird to me. I'm like, ‘Do I need to do more press?’”
Rodrigo expressed her affection for British culture, stating she is a "self-professed Anglophile.”
“I love everything English, English culture and English people... I want to half move here one of these days,” she said.
Rodrigo’s follow-up to her 2023 album Guts is expected to arrive sometime this year. Although she didn’t spare too many details, the singer teased that the upcoming LP might take on a different direction compared to her past albums.
“It’s very varied,” Rodrigo said in the Vogue interview linked here. “I really wanted to figure out a way to kind of write about joy in this album. I feel like my last two albums are very, rightfully so, kind of angsty and heartbroken. Just as a creative endeavor and also 'cause I was experiencing a lot of joy in my life, I wanted to figure out how to, like, inject that into the songs that I was making.
“I'm really proud of it and I hope everyone likes it,” she added.
