Olivia Rodrigo Burns Her Lips While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

man this show is crazy [Music] hey what's going on everybody for first week feast i'm shawn evans and you're watching hot ones it's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings today we're joined by olivia rodrigo she's a singer songwriter whose double platinum debut single driver's license broke all kinds of records including spotify's most stream song in a week ever she followed that up with her critically acclaimed no skips album sour which likewise shot to the top of the billboard charts it's been olivia rodrigo's year but how does she handle the spiciest wings on the planet that's the real question we'll find out today olivia rodrigo welcome to the show hi i'm so nervous um but so excited i was just telling you off camera that um i've watched so many episodes in preparation um but very stoked to be here thank you for having me what is going through your head right now like are you a fan of hot sauce not at all which is why it's gonna be interesting to see how i act um i am the worst with spice like literally i like think that bell peppers are spicy and like don't eat bell pepper so like that's gonna be fun [Applause] [Music] the handle okay i'm just in the car oh i'm about at all so in the intro i mentioned how you're smashing all kinds of records and i'm sure that you've long felt that there's something special about the music but even you have to be surprised by how quick and how big everything's blown up are you aware of this driver's license extended cinematic universe whereby fans will remix the song from the perspective of like that blonde girl or the physical driver's license itself yeah that was actually super cool um to like watch everyone like create stuff with the song that i created and people were like so fun with it like there was one like from the perspective of the road and like stuff like that well i love songwriters and it's always like really cool to see people write songs to like something that i had made it was really cool and then what's the origin story of the cover art because that likewise has been reimagined a million different ways online yeah we were at another shoot and i like knew that the album was going to be called sour and one of my makeup artist was like let's just like put it on your tongue like let's just like cut out the letters and like put on your tongue i was like that's really cool and so when it came time to do the actual shoot we like put sour on my tongue and put a bunch of stickers on my face which i thought was cool and i was so like pissed off in the photo and there was like these like happy stickers on me and i thought it was like a cool like metaphor or something like that but yeah it's been cool to see people recreate that too [Music] okay wait do it together cheers cheers [Music] good so far so i understand that your overnight success story wasn't so overnight at all actually taking singing lessons at five years old and then not long after doing singing showcases and performing at grocery store openings nearly every weekend do you remember the first ever local talent show that you won like can you paint the picture for us oh my gosh yeah i do remember it was called it was like for like the boys and girls club and it was like a boys and girls club like idol or something and i was so stoked and they gave me a trophy that was like as tall as me at the end and they like gave me like a big like check with like it was like a hundred dollars or something but like at eight years old i was like oh my god i'm rich i can buy an american girl doll i've like always been singing and making music since i could literally talk and i've been writing songs since i was like nine years old it's so funny to like watch old videos of me back i was like so like confidence like go up there and like own it i'd like wish that i was still like that nowadays but it's a little more difficult when you're older it's good a little bit of a step up yeah it's okay though i'm okay i'm definitely a higher temperature than i was before i sat down at this table but i'm all right that's the that's the slow roasted nature of hot ones slow roasted i love that so it's clear from watching your music videos that there's a certain sentimental chord that you can hit for example mixing in vhs effects or cult classic horror movie references and a song like good for you how do you think about blending in novelty and nostalgia in your art oh my gosh it's a thoughtful question i i've always been like such a visual artist like every time i hear like a song of mine i can like instantly like sort of picture um like what it looks like and i don't know maybe that's like my style of songwriting too but yeah i'm really inspired by vintage things and i'm obsessed with the 90s and 90s music and 90s pop culture and so there's definitely nods to that um in my music but also like i was born in 2003 it's very much a gen z sort of thing so um i mean that like inevitably shows itself and everything i do speaking of the good for you video i know that scene where you're in a in a bedroom that's filling up with water there's no cgi involved the curtains behind you are actually on fire oh yeah is that something that you can do multiple takes or is that the kind of scene like you really have only just one shot we really like had one shot um that was so much fun that they literally like built a room like flooded it and then like set [ __ ] on fire was so cool and like my poor manager was like so worried the whole time she's like oh my god don't burn to death but it was so much fun it was always fun to do practical effects and that music video was just so much fun we shot the entire thing in a day just like running on adrenaline so yeah it was a good experience all right speaking of running on adrenaline are you ready to move on here to the next hot sauce yeah i'm actually surprised i thought i'd be dying by now i know we have like a long way to go this one just enjoy this all right as long as you can oh god don't be used to it girl [Music] not bad i feel good i was so nervous i'm probably gonna die like come like here but but right now so far doing laps around any expectation you had for yourself so far yeah i really thought i was gonna die after the first one i am so bad with spice so i've spoken to comedians in the past right when they have something in their head that makes them laugh they think about where does this joke work best you know does it work best in my stand-up material does it work best in a tv sketch does it work best in a pilot i'm curious as a musician who covers such a wide gamut of styles how do you know when a feeling or an idea will fit best in like a pop punk song versus like a heartbreak ballad versus like an alt rock anthem i feel like sometimes it always it doesn't always have to like be so linear like some of my favorite music is music that's like super upbeat but like the lyrics are like so [ __ ] depressing i don't know i think that's the cool thing about making music in 2021 is everything is becoming increasingly genreless and you can just like do whatever you want i'm always like very like lyric centered person to like answer your question and um anytime i'm like coming up with an idea like a comedian would i just always like write it down on my phone and every single song that i've ever made is usually like started from that place in an interview with rolling stone you talk about how much you don't like vocal chops what are some other tropes and pop music that you actively try to steer clear from oh that's really difficult because i love everything i would be like oh i don't like like down the middle pop but i like love down the middle pop so i don't know what it is um i don't know i am like a big musical theater lover and i make my songs like so dramatic sometimes my producer has to be like really then olivia reel it in it's actually good it's like delicious you're single-handedly like expanding my taste all right olivia we have a recurring segment on our show called explain that gram we're doing deep dive on our guests instagram pull interesting pictures that need more contacts so we'll pull up the picture on the monitor you just tell us the bigger story can you give us two highlights and one low light from your first trip to london oh okay um first of all that outfit which i really love that's definitely a highlight i like probably wore that outfit two days in a row because i was like like nobody say that i'm wearing it the second day but i just have to wear it again because i didn't get pictures in it the first day um second highlight obviously is i performed with brits which is my first performance ever i sang driver's license and that was so much fun and low light i'm not sure if i'm supposed to say this but we were quarantining in this little um like like a like a real like 18th century english cottage in the countryside and it was so cold and we couldn't figure out how to turn on like the central air and heating um but they had a fireplace and so we like like lit the fireplace all the time and that's how we kept warm and i just remember like one day waking up and it was so smoky and i think i got like mild carbon monoxide poisoning because with the whole day i couldn't stop like throwing up in our like english countryside house so it's definitely a low light um i recovered i don't know if i had carbon monoxide poisoning but i was very sick for a day but it worked out at the end i had fun made it through all right up next you called the deja vu video one of your favorite things you've ever done what is this project in particular why is it on such a pedestal for you and what story does it tell it has kind of a killing e vibe to it yes i'm so glad you said that that is um that was like literally the reference i remember them coming up to me like what do you want to do like you can literally do anything you want to do with this song that you wrote and that was just like so freeing and exciting for me and it definitely was like a killing eve type theme i didn't want to like hit the nail on the head um of what the song was talking about i didn't want to be like so literal and specific so we thought it would be cool to um sort of like portray a story of like two girls who are like obsessed with each other because i feel like i don't know feminine adoration is like something that i and lots of my friends feel very intensely and don't really talk about super often so that was the theme of it plus you got to smash up all those tvs oh yeah it was so fun it was great [Music] okay a little more heavy uh-huh it's definitely clearing out my sinuses a little bit i can like breathe easy so it's clear that you and dan nigro really went into the lab with a real vision for sauer thinking back on all the creative decisions is there one that you're proud that you defended on behalf of the album um yeah um the first thing that comes to mind is um deja vu actually uh the post course was initially going to be vocal chops which we talked about before which i hate for whatever reason and everyone was like the vocal shop sound amazing it's like so cool and like trendy and all this i was like i literally would rather die than put vocal chops in my song um no shade to anyone who does that's just not my thing um and uh so i wanted to put that like really cool um like chunky crunchy synth sound in there it sounds like an electric guitar but it's actually a synth and i had to fight sort of hard to get that on the record but it happened and i'm really glad that it happened that way and i'm sure like at this point you know the team's starting to fill up and you have a lot of people that are like you know do this or that or say this or that or wear this or where that what's something that you find yourself pushing back on i don't know i guess the thing i push back on sometimes is like sometimes i'm just like yo i like need a break like i can't write anything anymore like i'm completely tapped so i mean that's the only thing i'll ever like i don't know push back on i suppose you and me both you know this this show has just been going like pretty much hitting every thursday for like the last six years and so you're tasteful to handle it well i just i think about what it was like back in the day to have like a normal job and i'm like well if this is the thing that i have to do to not go back because i can't go back i can never go back then i'll just deal with it but you know sometimes i'm like hey you know between seasons maybe we can take more than three weeks off right yeah go on vacation go on go on an expensive vacation with the hot ones money i'm excited for it i'm saying all right are you ready to move on here to the next wing love burns hotter than l this is perfect okay oh god i'm feeling it [Music] it's really delicious though it's like it's a great vegan wing what insight do you have on putting together a kick-ass bridge because you do really seem to nail those kinds of moments yeah um i think the coolest thing about a brit oh my god this is uh i think the coolest thing about a bridge is like i'm talking about something that you didn't talk about in the rest of the song it's like providing like another like opinion or like another perspective or something on the song everyone's laughing at me i i'm a super dynamic songwriter i love songs that are like really quiet and then get really big and like stuff like that so i always either try to have like a like a like a down bridge where it gets like really quiet and introspective or like a really like big one um i don't know bridge is just something like different because i like my songs to be just like all over the place off of hope you're okay what does it mean to address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings it's very poetic i have no idea i don't know it sounds cool i don't know um we wanted to like have something that's sort of a little abstract and up for your interpretation and i love butterflies that's like a sour theme so incorporated that in there is there an olivia rodrigo lyric that comes to mind when you think about how you're feeling right now happy and healthy that's the line i'm very happy and healthy i'm moving my best life currently eating hot ones with you you say that now because you haven't tried the next wing yet oh the bomb oh jesus christ the one with the like the nuke on it jesus christ okay here i go my nose is running [Music] hmm the immediate okay the the hot ones experience starting to take form [Music] oh okay so on your birthday last year you tweeted i'm 17 years old today but i still do not know the different styles of eggs only scrambled now that you're a year older and have just tried one of the spiciest wings of all time i want to hit you with a few different egg preparation styles to see if anything's changed over the last year okay yeah what style of eggs is this sunny side up it is sunny side up olivia you know your ex all right up next do you know this um it's a hot i mean like it's not hard-boiled it's like uh oh my god um what is it called they like have them at tea parties what is it called deviled eggs that's opposite yeah those are eggs benedict but technically you're right those eggs are poached things go things flying off the edge here we're flying off the edge right off okay sorry no no long leash on this show whatever you got to go through to get through it when someone asked you your favorite snack recently you replied trader joe's oatmeal cookies till the day i die what's your response to people who think that an oatmeal raisin cookie can never ever be better than chocolate chips oh my god i hate chocolate chip cookies i don't know what it is i love chocolate and i love cookies but chocolate chip i can't even chocolate chip cookies are not it for me everyone makes fun of me because oatmeal raisin cookies are like grandma you cookies but they're the best and i feel like they're actually like hearty and like somewhat healthy for you like oatmeal has like fiber and stuff let's speak all right all right up next we have the scorpion disco how are you feeling how are you feeling oh my god it looked oh my god it like burns your lips all right now or never okay oh my god um so one thing you and i have in common is asking people that we meet for the first time if they have any ghost stories and i imagine that wouldn't be a move of yours unless of course you had at least one of your own no i don't i don't [ __ ] with ghosts and they don't [ __ ] with me it's like it's a really great thing that we have going on um the one that i do tell is my mom grew up in wisconsin and her parents like had this like nice house that they got really cheap and one day she woke up to go to the bathroom and she saw a man standing at the top of the stairs i didn't tell anyone until 25 years later and my grandma was like oh you know the reason we got the house were so cheap is because somebody died in the basement like a man died in the basement which blew my mind i heard that story like 12 years old and i was like oh my god mom that's crazy um don't have any myself and hopefully never will i'm crying oh my god [Music] man this show is crazy [Music] but for somebody who thought a bell pepper was spicy you're doing amazing things here today it's adrenaline [Music] all right man cheers last one cheers [Music] whoa okay all right olivia rodrigo thankfully we've made it to the end of our spice symphony here today and just one more hurdle left to go so to close things out what i want to do is name a hot sauce and you tell me the first musical effect that comes to mind you know maybe the hot sauce can remind you of a grunge guitar riff or a big synth or okay a melotron and we'll just take it from there does that sound good uh okay i think you think i'm smarter than i actually am but i'll try love burns hotter than um i think of like a sick like crunchy like petal guitar riff hell yeah the bomb beyond insanity um i think it's some like edm thing like some cool like pad scorpion disco something off like i do a leap of record i don't know oh no you know what it is it's like a like one of those like midi like um violin things that like sounds fake and then the last dab the wing that you just ate piano because because yeah that yeah a piano thing because piano is my favorite and that one is my favorite because it's the last one and we're done we are done you made it through nothing else to go for no more vegan wings you have conquered the table olivia rodrigo now there's nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you this camera this

Is it me or do really good singers have such nice speaking voices? When you learn how to sing, does your speaking voice change too?

[u/Alexgeewhizzz]

i'm most impressed at how well her lipstick held up

[u/CaptainPhillips1]

next album: Spicy

[u/szeto326]

"I don't fuck with ghosts and they don't fuck with me"

Haha, love it.

[u/Scrub_Lord_]

Oh, they're back to doing in-person episodes? Wonderful. I just couldn't enjoy the show when it was over a web call.

What a cutie

[u/Maniniyotan]

I feel like she's really involved in her career. It's not just a bunch of people telling her you do this or you do that but probably the ideas for promotions that she has been doing has been her decisions and thus the reason why she's really into all she do. This is probably the reason why I can never believe that she is an industry plant. From the start, she was the one who chose who she wanted to work with and probably even the terms of her contract. I mean the mere fact she owns her masters shows this.

I mean if I were a music executive and would like to grow my "industry plant" I want to make sure I own all the songs so that my investment would pay off.

[u/BlastoiseRules]

She was one of the most entertaining artists I’ve seen him have bc she was actually having a meltdown over the spice

[u/totezhi64]

Just realized I hadn't heard her speak before
