Olivia Rodrigo recollects her wild night out with Charli xcx
Los Angeles, June 4
Singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo once had a wild night out with "the ultimate party girl", Charli xcx, and has now shared the details of the same.
The singer once found herself at what she thinks was a rave with the '365' singer, and was completely out of her depth, reports 'Female First UK'.
Speaking on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge this week, the singer laughed as she recalled the surreal evening with the 33-year-old raver.
She said, "I actually went to a rave with her, I don't even know if it's a rave. I'm not like a party girl, she's the ultimate party girl, obviously. I was a little out of my element, but I had the best time, and she was very lovely".
As per 'Female First UK', Olivia was on the show to perform a stripped‑back cover of CMAT's When A Good Man Cries, which she put together with her father.
She said, "I think that song is epic, and me and my dad had so much fun putting it together. It's kind of twangy and country, and the lyrics are super, super awesome and unique".
The 23‑year‑old pop star is currently in the middle of her world tour, and she used the appearance to shout out her support acts, Wolf Alice and The Last Dinner Party, two bands she says she feels lucky to share a bill with.
She said, "I think that they're amazing, and all of them are kind of my friends too. I think they're really incredible girls, and I just love surrounding myself with musicians who inspire me, and all of those artists totally inspire me and push me to want to be better".
Meanwhile, Olivia recently admitted she wants to prove she doesn't "have to be miserable" to write a good song. The Good 4 U singer has enjoyed huge success with break-up songs over recent years, but Olivia's new album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, is different from her previous releases.

Honestly, this is so relatable. Not everyone is a party animal, and it's cool that she's honest about being out of her element. Also, shoutout to her dad helping with the cover—Indian parents would never sit and help us with music like that, haha. Sab bolte "padhai likhai karo!"
I appreciate that she's trying to show a different side to her music. But let's be real—breakup songs made her famous, and now she's saying she doesn't need to be sad to write good songs. Baat toh sahi hai, but fans might miss the old Olivia. Let's see if the new album works.
Her supporting Wolf Alice and The Last Dinner Party is so wholesome. It's nice to see artists lifting each other up, especially women in the industry. And the cover of CMAT with her dad? So sweet. Desi dads would just say "kya bakwas gaana hai" 😅
I mean, Charli XCX and Olivia Rodrigo? That's a weird combo, but somehow it works. Olivia is like the girl next door and Charli is the chaotic friend. Aaise toh mere dost hain jo mujhe har party mein ghaseet le jaate hain. Good for her for stepping out of her comfort zone.
The way she describes the event—"I don't even know if it's a rave" is so typical of someone who's not into that scene. Reminds me of when my Bangalore friends took me to a pub and I thought it was a club. 🤭 Anyway,
