Olivia Rodrigo sings about heartbreak but she's already chosen her wedding song
Olivia Rodrigo should be here any second. We're supposed to be filming an interview in Hampstead Heath - one of her favourite places - but the heavens have burst. It's not just raining cats and dogs, but otters, dolphins and multiple other water-dwelling mammals. As the monsoon
We're supposed to be filming an interview in Hampstead Heath - one of her favourite places - but the heavens have burst. It's not just raining cats and dogs, but otters, dolphins and multiple other water-dwelling mammals.
As the monsoon monsoons, our lights and cameras are hastily scooped up and moved into the beautiful Victorian kitchen of nearby Kenwood House.
It's a scramble, but everything's in place (just) when Rodrigo arrives - not a hair out of place, after a short but windy walk from her car to the set.
Although it's an early start, the 23-year-old has already been working. On the journey over, she made final tweaks to a new song called Maggots For Brains, just 10 days before its release.
"I love that song musically, and there's a lot going on - a lot of harmonies - and literally in the car, I was like, turn that backing vocal up just one decibel," she says.
"I was getting kind of weird about it. Nobody else will notice."
We've chosen Hampstead Heath because it's one of Rodrigo's favourite places in London – an open space where she can generally walk around without being bothered.
"It's the best place to hang out," she says. "Nobody's ever been weird, I guess because it's so spread out?
