The first thing I crave the second I walk off stage is electrolyte water.

One time I was on set and I was sick and I'm like,

I need electrolyte water.

I had 16 electrolyte water packets and I found out

that that's actually so bad for you

and I was severely dehydrated actually from the electrolyte packet so I had to tone it down.

Hey Vogue!

I'm Olivia Rodrigo and today I'm going to be making some lumpia and a paloma.

Very excited.

Honestly my go-to drink is a vodka cranberry but I thought

that that was a little bit too tacky for Vogue so paloma is like slightly elevated which is why I love it.

I'm gonna start with a shot of tequila.

Do you guys know that meme of like,

someone's making a cocktail and it's like,

three shots of tequila and she pours like half the bottle?

That's how I feel every time I pour something.

Two shots of grapefruit juice.

Tour bedtime is so all over the place.

Tour sleeping is all over the place.

I think my record for a full night's sleep on tour is like 14 hours.

You're just so exhausted all the time that no amount of sleep is enough.

And I'm a great sleeper.

That's one of my talents,

and I can sleep anywhere.

I always say it's because I have a clear conscience,

but I don't know.

One shot of agave to make it sweet.

I like my drinks kind of sweet.

And I'm gonna take one of these calamansis.

These are Filipino fruits.

They're these delicious little sour kind of orange things.

They're really delicious.

I'm gonna add it into my paloma for a little extra pizzazz.

a night out probably going to like a fun Italian restaurant

and like getting glasses of wine and telling secrets

but we've been staying in a lot lately and my friends

and I will play this stupid card game called Nertz for legitimately four hours instead of going out

and it's so lame but we're so addicted I recommend

that everyone try it because it's really fun okay

so I'm going to put this on now someone said you

could do 13 of them I don't know that's just random but that's what I did.

Woo!

And then I'm going to salt my rim.

Oops.

My favorite story about drinking Palomas.

My best friend and I,

I think we were like 19.

We went to a bar and obviously we weren't old enough to like be served alcohol at a bar,

but we were like, maybe if we go in there super confidently,

they'll serve us a drink.

We're like, okay, let's go.

It's like, we hyped ourselves up.

We're like, the only drink that we knew is this like grapefruit tequila thing.

I'm like, great, we're gonna do it.

And they came up to us and they weren't gonna cart us.

We were feeling so confident.

My friend goes, yeah, we'll take two Panomas.

And the person's like, Palomas?

ID, please.

And then we didn't get served alcohol.

But now I know that it's called the Paloma and it's really good and I'm 22 so I can drink it legally,

which just makes it taste even better.

Mm, really good.

The salt on the rim just ties it all together too.

It's like 1 p.m while we're filming this,

but it's so good, I might have the whole thing.

I don't have anything else to do today.

All right, first step to the lumpia is I'm going to chop up some of these carrots.

I was originally going to mince these by hand and I was

so worried that I was gonna be Kendall Jenner cucumber meme-ified,

so we're doing the food processor.

So I'm gonna add these carrots into my chicken bowl.

Ah.

Ah, take that out.

Lumpi to someone who's never had lumpi before.

They're really delicious and savory and like kind of greasy in the best way.

I don't know, it's just like feel good food.

My grandma used to make them for Thanksgiving every year and so that was probably my first introduction to lumpia.

I'm making the like roll ones and she would always make the triangle ones

but the triangle ones are just like purely safe for Thanksgiving for me so.

Now I am going to cut an onion in half and onion in half.

I'm really bad at chopping vegetables.

I'm an okay baker, but cooking is really hard for me because I have terrible cutting skills.

I'm working on it.

And I don't have that ability to like,

you know when people taste soup and they're like,

oh, it needs a little bit more rosemary or something.

I'm lost.

I'm just so lost.

If it's not on the recipe,

I don't know what's going on.

So I'm gonna take this half onion and put it in here.

Oh, I'm crying already with these onions.

I'm not actually crying because I'm so moved by thinking about my new album.

You know, one word is hard.

I feel like the album is very varied.

It's very varied.

I really wanted to figure out a way to kind of write about joy in this album.

I feel like my last two albums are very rightfully so kind of angsty and heartbroken and just as a creative endeavor.

100

And also because I was experiencing a lot of joy in my life,

101

I wanted to figure out how to like inject that into the songs that I was making.

102

So yeah, I'm really proud of it.

103

I hope everyone likes it.

104

I'm crying.

105

I feel like I create the best when I'm alone.

106

There's like a weird feeling,

107

like everyone feels it like when you're like writing something or making art or whatever you do that's creative.

108

There's like a weird flow state that you get in when you're really creative or you're having a good idea.

109

I call it like a big magic idea where it sort of just feels like you're downloading something from the universe.

110

And that only ever really happens to me when I'm totally alone.

111

I think being alone is a really important part of the creative process.

112

And I love being alone.

113

I'm a Pisces and very emotional,

114

so it works for me.

115

Two cloves of garlic.

116

I love garlic.

117

I overdo it on everything.

118

I overdo it on garlic.

119

I overdo it on salt.

120

I overdo it on sugar every time I'm baking.

121

I have like crazy superstitions before I go on stage

122

and I think if I told people they would actually think I'm insane.

123

So I like, I'll keep them to myself.

124

But the one that I do that's like relatively normal is before I go out,

125

I like always take a second,

126

I stand outside the door and I like this

127

and take a deep breath and I go like that and then I go out,

128

get all of the jitters out.

129

The morning after a show, my body's pretty sore.

130

I always have to take ice baths because my muscles

131

and my legs get so sore and tight and they give me a lot of problems.

132

So usually the day after a show,

133

I'm a little bit hurting,

134

but also probably fulfilled from the night before of music and fun.

135

I feel like Rachael Ray, you guys.

136

This is great.

137

I feel like I always think of song ideas when I'm doing something kind of boring,

138

like doing the dishes or something,

139

or even if I'm seeing a movie that's bad.

140

I'm bored in the movie and then I go into my mind palettes and I'm like,

141

oh, I should write about that.

142

Fordham is like the best thing ever if you're trying to make something.

143

Okay, cilantro in.

144

I love cilantro.

145

Okay, so now all of our ingredients are in this bowl.

146

I'm going to crack an egg into it as a final step before mixing.

147

Gonna do a little bit of pepper and a little bit of salt.

148

A tablespoon of the sesame oil.

149

I love sesame.

150

I'm gonna take a sip of my Paloma before I put the gloves on because it's getting serious.

151

Okay, an emotion that I'm most interested in writing about.

152

I think in this album,

153

I really wanted to write about love,

154

which is the most broad topic ever.

155

I think in music, my favorite love songs are love songs

156

that are a little bit sad or have a little bit of like wistfulness or mourning or fear or something.

157

And so I kind of set out making this album,

158

like trying to write a sad love song.

159

And I hope that I did it,

160

at least in a few.

161

Yeah, but anyway, let's mix this.

162

This is one and a half pounds of chicken, I believe.

163

You can make lumpia with like pork and beef,

164

but I really like chicken with chicken, girl.

165

That looks pretty darn good.

166

Okay, now the fun part.

167

We're gonna roll it, but I'm gonna make this egg wash first.

168

So I just want the yolk in there.

169

All right, there's my wash.

170

I'm gonna start wrapping my lumpia now.

171

I'm gonna take one of these wrappers.

172

I'm gonna cut off the top here.

173

So I'm gonna take just a little bit here.

174

Spread it out with my hands.

175

I just try to shave them as uniformly as I possibly can,

176

but it doesn't always work out that way,

177

but it's okay, because it's made with love.

178

What do I need to give me energy on tour?

179

A lot of healthy food.

180

You need to nourish your body like crazy.

181

I started taking vitamins on tour,

182

which I never did before,

183

but oh my God, changed the game.

184

Every letter, every number, whatever the hell is on the shelf,

185

that's what I'm taking.

186

I'm so nutrient dense over here.

187

Okay, so I'm just folding it in here.

188

And then I get to the end,

189

put the glue on the end.

190

Feels like painting.

191

I write a lot.

192

I'm a big, like, quantity over quality person when it comes to writing.

193

I just, like, love the act of writing.

194

I think the more that you show up and show the universe that you're ready to work,

195

the better ideas you'll receive.

196

I write so many songs that don't work.

197

Like, countless.

198

Probably, like, 10,000 in my life.

199

I can write so many songs that don't work, but it's okay.

200

And every time that you write a song that doesn't work,

201

you take a little bit of that song,

202

like one line or one melody,

203

and you put it into a song that does work.

204

So even when I write a bad song,

205

I'm like, you know what, it's the journey.

206

Tour is like the perfect litmus test for whether or not a song is good.

207

It's like either they jump when they hear the song or they don't,

208

and so it's definitely inspiring.

209

You always want to write a song

210

that you feel like would play well live and could affect that many people and bring that many people together.

211

I feel like that's just a great test of if a song is really worth its salt.

212

All right, last step, I'm gonna fry these bad boys.

213

I'm always so scared of oil.

214

Whenever I make bacon, I feel like I'm always hiding behind a wall.

215

Okay.

216

Now we wait.

217

Gonna wait till they float to the top.

218

Usually when they float to the top, that means they're good.

219

I'm more fun before midnight or after midnight.

220

God, I like to say I'm just fun all the time.

221

My toxic trait in the night out is if I ever get even slightly tipsy,

222

Just like, you guys, I'm so happy we're all here right now.

223

I love you all so much.

224

What would I do without you?

225

Friendship is the best thing ever.

226

That's my drunk trait.

227

My TikTok right now is Disney Cruises.

228

Don't plan on going on one.

229

I did go on one when I was younger,

230

but I'm like fascinated by the culture.

231

Disney Cruise, especially the adult Disney Cruise.

232

Okay.

233

I'm in for five more seconds,

234

and I think I'll be done.

235

They're floating, they look golden and delicious.

236

Yay!

237

I hope they're good.

238

And with that, we have this gorgeous chicken lumpia.

239

I'm very excited.

240

I've been working up an appetite doing this,

241

so let's see how they are.

242

Hot.

243

They're hot.

244

Mmm, so good.

245

So good.

246

Honestly, it was really good with the Paloma.

247

I was worried about it,

248

but they're a perfect match.

249

Love it.

250

That was so much fun.

251

Thank you guys for joining me.

252

I hope you enjoyed watching me make this gorgeous lumpia and a Paloma.

253

And I hope you guys have a great day and you should try it at home.

254

Bye!

255

you

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
