Any concise thoughts on the performer, singer-songwriter, fashion icon, Olivia Rodrigo?  Olivia’s rise is meteorically ascendent and therefore suspiciously looks like, has the smell of a studio production asset rise.  Olivia Rodrigo has the looks to pull off such a mainstream corporate packaged rise to fame.  It has been done before.  This case of Olivia Rodrigo’s rise to notoriety seems more to resemble a Taylor Swift-like career trajectory.  The more important inquiry is does Ms. Rodrigo have vocal, lyric writing, performance skills?  My ear was opened to this inquiry while watching the SNL Rodrigo Driver’s License song performance (featured below) and the answer by this writer is yes she does have all the aforementioned skills to hold her own, rise as fame allows, and enjoy her time in the spotlight.
