The days of Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera and Mandy Moore’s blonde and bubbly pop reign are long gone, my friends. Olivia Rodrigo said that she thought she couldn’t make it in the entertainment industry as a pop star because that’s only for “white girls.” Well, she certainly was wrong on that. Here’s what she has to say.
According to Page Six, Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang asked Olivia about her Filipino American background and how she approaches her career with it. The singer admitted that it’s “something incredible to think about.”
Olivia Rodrigo Thought She Couldn’t Become A Pop Star Because She’s Not White
“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,” she told V Magazine. “I feel like I grew up never seeing that. Also, it was always like, ‘Pop star,’ that’s a white girl.”
With that said, Olivia added that she’s grateful that she’s no longer confined to just one genre of music.
“I am so inspired by so many different genres of music. I love country music so much, and I love rock music so much. And obviously pop music is my favorite,” the Disney star said. “And another thing that I think is really special is that, in 2021, I feel like artists aren’t really boxed into a genre anymore. I look at someone like Billie Eilish, who I’m so obsessed with, and her music is like pop, but it’s kind of rock, too.”
