Olivia Rodrigo is full of praise for her musical heroes, adding Taylor Swift, Carole King, Avril Lavigne and Alanis Morissette. But for Bruce Springsteen, he reserved a title.
“This is my biggest weight on celebrities of all time,” she told Jia Tolentino for the Vogue article in August 2023.
During their interview, Rodrigo and Tolentino visited the A-1 record store in the East Village, where Rodrigo chose a pirated Springsteen vinyl called “Porn in the U. S. A. !”, which was recorded at a concert in Toronto in 1984.
On the cover, Springsteen wears a white T-shirt with a caution label: “This record contains noises of a particular nature that would possibly be offensive and would not be played in the presence of minors. “
“I think maybe I’ll buy this for my new apartment,” Rodrigo told Tolentino, adding, “yes, you’re going home with me. “
Rodrigo was born and raised in California but recently moved to Greenwich Village.
“I have my fantasy of ‘Sex and the City,'” she said, revealing that she is known as a combination of Carrie Bradshaw and Charlotte York.
In addition to entering her New York era, the “Vampire” singer is also about to release her album for now, “Guts,” which will be released on September 8. Many songs were written and recorded at Electric Lady Studios, in the same community as Rodrigo’s New Home.
Tolentino described “Guts” as an “evolution” of “Sour,” Rodrigo’s acclaimed debut album.
“She did not live in the fairytale territory of the bubblegum locker door, nor did she make competing statements that she was angry and cultured,” Tolentino wrote. They are inflamed with a ridiculous desire, extremely happy to be noticed as beautiful, enraged by the expectations of others. “
For his part, Rodrigo told Tolentino that fitting a family call into adolescence “pales in comparison to 20 years old. “He added: “The rest is minuscule to that. “
