Olivia Rodrigo sheds light on the 'most important' phase of love

Olivia Rodrigo discusses the importance of friendship love, patience in dating, and her new single 'Drop Dead' inspired by a great first date.

"Dating is just the cherry on top - Olivia Rodrigo"

Los Angeles, April 30

Olivia Rodrigo has shared that she is currently in the "most important phase" of love. The singer was recently romantically linked with Geese frontman Cameron Winter following the end of her two-year relationship with Louis Partridge.

However, she insisted her friendships will always be the most important bonds she has in her life, reports 'Female First UK'.

She told 'Cosmopolitan' magazine, "Oh my god. I'm in the most important phase, the friendship love that I'm sitting right across from. Best friend, community love. Dating is just the cherry on top".

The 23-year-old star has learned to be "patient" when it comes to her love life. Asked the biggest lesson she's learned about love, she said, "Patience. Things happen the way that they're supposed to happen. It's not supposed to be white-knuckle. But also, Madison, you're the longest love of my life besides my parents. It's like that book that I'm obsessed with, the Dolly Alderton book, Everything I Know About Love, I do for my female friends".

As per 'Female First UK', Olivia knows she and her friends can always rely on one another for honest opinions.

She said, "If something is going on and we need to make a decision about a boy or something, we text the chat and go 'Jury Duty' and the jury commences and decides".

The singer praised Madison for not being afraid to call her out when she thinks she is in the wrong.

She said, "You know me in and out and still love me anyway, and you call me on my s***. That's a true friend. Sometimes you're hard on me when it comes to my music".

And Madison is so important to Olivia, any potential partner must get on with the actress. She said, "That is one of my stipulations if I want to date someone, Would they be okay sitting and hanging and playing cards with me and Madison? If they can't hang with that, then they can't hang with me. Your partners have not been similar to me at all".

Madison replied, "Not in any way. But I will say I'm looking for the feeling of comfort that I feel with you. And the amount of fun that I have with you, I want to have with my partner as well".

Olivia added, "But no guy has ever made me laugh as hard as you've made me laugh. Not even a quarter". While she didn't want to be drawn on the specifics of her love life at the moment, Olivia admitted she wrote her latest single Drop Dead following a great first date.

She said, "I just wanted to capture that first interaction you have with someone, like, This could be the best thing ever; I'm going to tell all my friends. It reminds me of running around a city, feeling young and free. I felt that a lot while writing the album".

Love that she prioritises friendships over romantic relationships. In our culture, we often see arranged marriages or serious relationships taking centre stage, but the bond with friends is just as valid and important. Hope more people learn from this.

"Dating is just the cherry on top" - love this perspective! But let's be real, in India, parents would still ask 'when is the cherry on top coming home?' 😂 Seriously though, healthy relationships start with healthy friendships. She's wise beyond her years.

The way she talks about her friend Madison calling her out on her s*** is exactly what true friendship looks like. In India, we sometimes avoid confrontation to keep peace, but real friends tell you the hard truths. Olivia's setting a great example for young women everywhere.

I appreciate her maturity, but I'm a bit sceptical about the 'no guy has ever made me laugh as hard' line. Isn't that setting an impossibly high bar? Friendships and romantic relationships bring different kinds of joy. But fair play to her for knowing what she wants.

The 'jury duty' chat is hilarious and so relatable! We have the exact same thing in our group - 'case file' WhatsApp group for vetting potential partners. 😂 So glad she's normalising this kind of friendship dynamic.
