Transcript

00:00 biggest swifty in the whole world. I think she is the most genius songwriter.

00:04 Yeah and Olivia Rodrigo's making it clear there's no bad blood between her and Taylor Swift.

00:09 That's so good.

00:10 After fans were convinced Olivia's new song "The Grudge" was about Tay.

00:15 My undying love now I hold it like a grudge

00:18 Now I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough

00:22 Liv's shutting it down, addressing the alleged feud in her cover story with Rolling Stone.

00:27 Simply telling the mag, "I don't have beef with anyone."

00:30 Quote, "I'm very chill. I keep to myself, I have my four friends and my mom,

00:34 and that's really the only people I talk to ever. There's nothing to say."

00:38 She just like works so hard and is such a storyteller and uses such specificity and

00:42 I'm just obsessed with her.

00:44 Yeah Olivia's got nothing against Tay, but she does admit she has a big mouth

00:48 and it's something that she's had to learn to control in the music biz.

00:52 I write diaristic songs so of course everyone's going to have their own interpretation of it.

00:57 I'm just so happy that I get to do this for a living.

00:59 And Liv has lots to celebrate. She just dropped her highly anticipated sophomore album "Guts."

01:05 I used to think I was smart but you made me look so naive

01:12 The way you saw me for parts You sunk your teeth into me

01:19 This new album "Guts" is this new song "Vampire" kind of feels like a natural progression,

01:24 a natural step forward in my life and sound and music.

01:30 But the 20-year-old Grammy winner says she felt pressure following the success of her first one,

01:35 "Sour." Telling Rolling Stone she couldn't write a song without thinking about what other people

01:40 were going to think of it. "There were days I found myself sitting at the piano,

01:44 excited to write a song, and then cried."

01:46 I consider myself a songwriter before anything because that's the thing that I

01:50 take the most seriously in my life. I'm really proud of the fact that the songs that I have

01:55 written have resonated with people and hopefully helped them feel seen in difficult moments.

02:02 Well, "Guts" is being seen and heard. "Vampire" debuted as her third Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song.

02:08 I've made some real big mistakes But you make the worst one look fine

02:15 I should have known it was strange

02:19 And for Olivia, "Guts" will always represent a special moment in time.

02:23 This album encapsulates growing up and figuring yourself out in the world and the awkwardness of

02:28 that. I'm going to keep writing about my life and writing from my heart and

02:31 anything else that happens is just icing on the cake.
