Today is the first day of spring!

“I was originally going to mince these by hand,” says #OliviaRodrigo, “and I was so worried I was going to get #KendallJenner meme-ified so, we’re doing them in the food processor.” As she makes her debut on the cover of the April 2026 issue of #BritishVogue, the 23-year-old singer-songwriter takes over the kitchen for the latest episode of Vogue’s Now Serving.

Olivia Rodrigo on friendships: “Friendship is the best thing ever.”

Olivia Rodrigo on songwriting: “I write so many songs that don’t work… probably like 10,000 in my life.”

Olivia Rodrigo on OR3 direction: “I really wanted to figure out a way to kind of write about joy… my last two albums are very angsty and heartbroken” & “One word is hard… I feel like the album is very varied. It’s very varied.”

Olivia Rodrigo on sleep: “I’m a great sleeper… I can sleep anywhere. I always say it’s because I have a clear conscience.”

Madison Hu on her friendship with Olivia Rodrigo: “Since then, when in the same city, they’ve seen each other pretty much every day and have not gone 24 hours without speaking. ‘We treat it like you would a romantic relationship, where you’re like, ‘I need to see you, and talk to you, and feel connected to you in some way.’”

Olivia Rodrigo on her friendship with Madison Hu: “‘I always say that if I didn’t have her I might have gone a little crazy,’ says Rodrigo. ‘She knows every part of my life. We’re like sisters.’”

“It’s ‘what I think being in love feels like’, she says. ‘You’re getting to the core of all of your issues: how you feel about yourself, your insecurities, what makes you joyful. It feels like the most raw form of you, which is so scary and terrifying and uncomfortable, sometimes, but beautiful at times.’”

British Vogue on another track of OR3: “The final song is about that realisation: love won’t fix you. It’s dancier, the most experimental I’ve ever heard her.”

British Vogue on a song from OR3: “The first is smooth, trippy soft rock about the spirituality of finding the man of your dreams. Her voice sounds so different – laid-back and mature. Once or twice, she tells me, she’s had premonitions of her relationships. It’s part feminine intuition, part manifestation, but also maybe the high achiever in her.”

British Vogue on OR3: “The fan theories were right: these are all love songs, but specifically about the obsession and anxiety of it – or the depression when your lover is gone. They’re ‘sad love songs’, she’ll later write over email. ‘I realised all my favourite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them.’”

If you think this current color is anything other than pink, argue with the wall (pun intended).

Olivia Rodrigo’s website is moving towards a darker pink!

Olivia Rodrigo announced "GUTS (spilled)" during her concert at the United Center in Chicago 2 years ago, today.

Today Olivia’s website is officially pink… we seem to have ruffled some feathers yesterday.

Today is National Awkward Moments Day!
