The first time I saw Olivia Rodrigo, she was Paige Olvera, a quirky middle schooler who started a webshow (like iCarly) with her Asian American bestie on Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark. I occasionally caught an episode here and there when I would leave Disney Channel on as background noise. I remember being impressed by the channel’s lineup then. At the time (mid-2010s), Disney Channel had several shows starring young BIPOC, rather than all-white casts like some of the shows I’d grown up with in the mid-2000s.
Very well written. I listen to “good 4 u” at least once a day. Olivia is such a gift!
