Olivia Rodrigo narrates experience of being Filipino-American in spotlight

Olivia Rodrigo did not shy away from what it is like being a Filipino star in America.

Sitting down with V Magazine the Sour hit-maker wore her heart on her sleeve and shared her experience as an Asian-American and how it changed the way she looks at her career.

Saying that the scenario is "something incredible to think about" she shed light on her there was no representation of her ethnicity in the spotlight when she was young.

"I sometimes get DMs from little girls being like, 'I've never seen someone who looked like me in your position.' And I'm literally going to cry. Like just thinking about it. I feel like I grew up never seeing that. Also, it was always like, 'Pop star,' that's a white girl."

While the star enjoyed her rapid rise to fame she admitted that there are moments where she too gets overwhelmed.

"I was like, 'Am I just going to go up there and freeze up?'," she said.

"So it was kind of an anxiety-inducing thing, but it was so much fun."

"I think live music is such an important part of life and obviously something that we've all been really missing in our lives. I think it's really fun as an artist to be able to cultivate experience for people," she continued.
