What happened?

6

I love the English breakfast tea every morning.

7

Doing an interview now.

8

Hey, I'm Olivia Rodrigo and this is My Life in 20 with capital butts.

9

Which film could you watch 20 times over and not get bored?

10

Twilight, next question.

11

I've just watched it so many times.

12

I've probably watched it 20,000 times.

13

It just never gets old.

14

I just feel like I can list every scene in order.

15

I can like, I memorize all the dialogue, like it's just, it just always makes me feel really happy.

16

Team Edward or TJ?

17

Team Edward.

18

Which niche random topic could you talk about for 19 minutes straight without notes?

19

I think I could maybe talk about like some weird niche music thing for 19 minutes straight, I don't know.

20

Maybe like some weird conspiracy theories, like some unsolved murder or something.

21

Oh good, too in detail of that, but yeah, I could probably talk about that for a while.

22

You were 18 years old when you released your debut album Sour.

23

In your opinion, what is the best debut album of all time?

24

Jagged Little Pill, probably best debut album of all time.

25

I think Tidal by Fiona Apple is probably the best debut album of all time ever.

26

Oh my gosh, my brain is so jet-lagged I can't even think.

27

So many great ones.

28

Coldplay Parachutes, awesome.

29

Yeah, a ton.

30

Those are the first that come to mind.

31

Oh yeah, Lord Pure Heroine for sure.

32

That album rocks.

33

Guts Spilled contains 17 tracks.

34

Sour contains 11, and your new album You Seem Pretty Sad for Girl So In Love contains 13.

35

Is there a perfect number of songs an album should have?

36

What's too long and what's too short?

37

I'm a proponent of like a concise album like a just to the point no filler Hopefully

38

so I think shorter is better a little bit as long as the songs are cool I guess Yeah, I haven't quite figured it out yet.

39

I've been writing a lot But we'll see what it turns into maybe I'll turn into Lux.

40

Maybe it'll turn into something else I don't know still figuring it out in the US.

41

It's tradition to go all out for your super sweet 16 It's the wildest or most memorable birthday you've ever had.

42

It's a good question.

43

I have a really fun 21st birthday I love my 21st birthday so much.

44

All of my friends were in town, which is very rare because I have so many friends all over the place

45

and they're always on tour or filming something somewhere.

46

And so all of my friends managed to be in town at one time

47

and I got really drunk on my 21st birthday and danced and had the time of my life.

48

So probably that one.

49

You made your SNL debut on May 15th, 2021 and recently did Double Duty.

50

Tell us a behind the scenes secret that surprised you working on the show.

51

I love SNL.

52

I think it's incredible.

53

I'm so impressed with like how they put that on every week.

54

I think what was really shocking to me is how much

55

they change the show legitimately right before you go on and film it.

56

Like literally 15 minutes before they're like, action and you're live.

57

They're like, oh by the way this whole scene is cut

58

and like we're adding this line and just like trying to memorize that thing and you're like, okay cool.

59

But it is so exciting and I am very very deeply impressed by all those people on that show.

60

They're very talented and hardworking so it's a fun gig.

61

It's a great question, so many things.

62

I think I hated hiking when I was 14.

63

My parents always dragged me on hikes and I was always really miserable on them, but now I love doing all that stuff.

64

Just like boring things, just like sitting around.

65

I remember my parents always would order a glass of wine and they'd make me stay after we finished the meal, 15 minutes, and I was like, oh my god, I just gotta go home and watch my TV or something,

66

and now I'm the queen of that, wanting to linger at the dinner table.

67

So that amongst other things.

68

You were 13 years old when Bazaardvark debuted on the Disney Channel.

69

What's your favorite memory from that experience?

70

Meeting my best friend Maddie on Bazaardvark, It's actually her birthday today, so happy birthday, Maddie.

71

And we've had so many, so many incredible memories on that show, stuff we still laugh about to this day.

72

It was a really fun time, a strange way to grow up, but very fun nonetheless.

73

We weren't instant friends.

74

We both remember seeing each other in the audition room, and our first impressions of each other were that both of us were really nervous.

75

She looked at me, and she was like, oh my god, that girl looks like she's gonna throw up.

76

Like, she's so anxious, and it's true.

77

I was very anxious at the time.

78

And I remember thinking the same thing about her.

79

I remember looking over it, and she was reading her lines really crazily, trying to memorize all of them.

80

And so we weren't instant friends, but we have been like best friends for 10 years and haven't wavered, no fights or nothing.

81

You started playing guitar when you were 12 years old.

82

What was the first song you learned how to play?

83

I think I learned how to play an Ed Sheeran song.

84

What is this song?

85

What's like that?

86

Like when your legs don't work like they used to before.

87

I think that's the first song I learned how to play.

88

Thinking Out Loud, yeah, yeah, yeah.

89

Thinking Out Loud.

90

And I sang with him at BST Hyde Park last year, which was really fun too.

91

So full circle moment.

92

We sang song 18, which is, I love that song.

93

That's my favorite song of his.

94

Yeah, shout out Ed Sheeran.

95

In Drop Dead you sing, I know that the bar closes at 11, but I hope you never finish that beer.

96

What's your favorite lyric you've ever written?

97

Probably a lyric maybe in the new album.

98

I really love so many of the lyrics in Honey Bee.

99

I hope I never see what your face looks like going, a face that I spark, it's been my whole life knowing is pretty, or shooting stars, racing cars, everything I own just feels like ours.

100

I was really happy when I wrote that.

101

Maybe those are my favorite lyrics at this given moment in time.

102

If you could relive any 10 minutes of your life so far, what would it be?

103

That's a great question.

104

I'm like in England doing music stuff, so right now I think I would say I would love to go back

105

and relive the 10 minutes after I got off of stage at Glastonbury.

106

That was incredible and all of my family and friends were there

107

and I was on such a high

108

and I was taking shots with Robert Smith

109

and all my friends were there and blowing champagne bottles up in the air and it was awesome.

110

I would love to go back and relive that 10 minutes.

111

Track nine on Guts is love is embarrassing and many fans argue that it should have been an official single.

112

How do you choose your singles?

113

It's a great question.

114

I think for this album I was very particular about the singles

115

because I wanted the singles to reflect the emotional arc that the album took on.

116

So starting with Love Song and then slowly sort of unraveling with The Cure.

117

So yeah, it's different every time, but that was my thinking this time.

118

Are there any songs on Sour or Guts that were almost singles?

119

Randomly, we almost made Enough For You the third single with Sour instead of Good For You, which would have been crazy.

120

I love that song, but I'm like, why?

121

Good fear is a much more obvious single choice.

122

Yeah, but everything happens for a reason, so.

123

What was your biggest fear when you were eight, and did you ever have any funny encounters because of it?

124

I always thought that Ursula from The Little Mermaid was hiding behind one chair in my house, and I would never sit on that chair.

125

That freaks me out.

126

I also got really freaked out at the Peter Pan movies, like the old ones, really freaked me out.

127

The thought of going to Neverland and never seeing my family, my mom and my dad again, was so scary.

128

And I actually still do get a little freaked out when I go on the ride at Disneyland.

129

That's the Peter Pan ride.

130

Seven is a lucky number.

131

There was a theory that OR3 was going to be called Luck.

132

How did you land on the title, You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love?

133

Actually, Dan, it was something that Dan said.

134

And we were talking about something, and he said something along the lines of, You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

135

And we were like, that's perfect.

136

Like, that has to be the album title.

137

I think it's perfectly reflective of what I was going for in the songs, which was trying to write a love song

138

and inject it with a little bit of sadness and melancholy and something that grounds it.

139

So when we found it, we were very excited.

140

It's a very long title and it's definitely a mouthful, but I love it nonetheless.

141

Did you intentionally want to break away from the four letters?

142

Yeah, I think I was never going to make it a four letter album.

143

I also feel like I had exhausted all of the four letters.

144

Like, there's a notes app in my phone of all the four letter words I could think of and I was like, none of it's doing it for me.

145

So I was excited to do a really long one, kind of comically long.

146

So if you could invite six celebrities, dead or alive, to go on the ultimate night out with, who would you invite and where would you go?

147

Oh my gosh.

148

Okay, I really don't think I'm gonna have a very intellectual answer for this, let's see.

149

You know what, I'd invite JFK because I wanna hear all the gossip from him.

150

I'd invite him.

151

I'm thinking of, it'd be way more fun to invite dead Maybe like Cleopatra would be cool, see what her life was like.

152

Honestly, just like someone from like the medieval ages, like just a random person.

153

So I could be like, what was it like living in like during the plague?

154

Like that would be way more interesting to me than like, I don't know, royalty or something.

155

Okay, that.

156

Maybe like Jeff Buckley.

157

Oh, you guys, I'm so jet lagged.

158

I can't think of anything.

159

Amelia Earhart.

160

I'd be like, girl, what happened?

161

What happened?

162

And then my friend Maddie would have to go there too, because I would just need her to help me with the conversation

163

because she's a really good conversationalist and so she could get all the answers, all the hot goss out of people.

164

Final five.

165

Name five things you can't live without.

166

My friends, music, my headphones, I can't go anywhere without my headphones these days.

167

We're in England, I love an English breakfast tea every morning.

168

I have this one specific blanket that I bring everywhere with me to every country

169

that makes me feel like I'm at home.

170

Kind of a lame answer, but is what it is.

171

That's sad.

172

You and AirPods are what?

173

I'm wearing AirPods lately, but I feel like it's bad for your ears or something.

174

I don't know.

175

Wired would be cooler, but AirPods is just so convenient.

176

Describe yourself in four words.

177

Doing an interview now.

178

I don't know.

179

What are your top three songs of all time?

180

Oh my god.

181

Man, Seven Nation Army, Martha by Tom Waits.

182

You inducted White Stripes into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

183

Yeah, yeah I did.

184

That was so, so special.

185

I was so nervous.

186

That was one of the performances I was the most nervous

187

for in my life was inducting the White Stripes into the Rock

188

and Roll Hall of Fame because the White Stripes mean everything to me.

189

And singing a White Stripes song while Jack was in the audience was very nerve-wracking, but it was a wonderful experience.

190

Name two things on your bucket list.

191

I've never been to Greece.

192

I like to go to Greece.

193

I don't know if it's a bucket list, but I'm just thinking.

194

These answers are so dumb.

195

Um, and...

196

I'd like to play a show at Red Rocks or something.

197

That would be cool.

198

These are not very deep answers, you guys, but I just woke up.

199

Sorry.

200

Okay.

201

Aw, who or what is your one true love?

202

I'd say my best friend Maddie is my one true love.

203

She's my soulmate, and it is her birthday today, so...

204

Everyone comment, happy birthday, Maddie.

205

Thanks so much for watching.

206

Thanks, guys.

207

Not Amelia Earhart.

208

I was, like, racking my brain.

209

You know, those Instagram things where they're like, name a woman.

210

I'm like, no one can name a woman.

211

I was like, uh-huh.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
