I just get so much joy from walking to the grocery store \u2026 or, like, going and meeting my friends at the bar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You\u2019re kind of incentivized not to do stuff like that &#8211; it\u2019s easier to stay inside, stay insular. I\u2019m trying to expand outward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, Olivia also revealed she&#8217;s learned to embrace the &#8220;lighter&#8221; side of life as a pop star, saying: &#8220;I take my work very seriously. My art is something I take very seriously, and writing is something I take very seriously. But also nothing is really that important &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It\u2019s so lucky we\u2019re not brain surgeons! Nobody lives or dies if we make a mistake. I think I\u2019ve been feeling that lightness lately &#8211; we live charmed lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia has previously confessed she loves spending time in London because she&#8217;s able to walk about and visit pubs without being bothered.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told the BBC: &#8220;I feel so normal here, very adult. I can walk to the pub and meet friends. It&#8217;s a city where spontaneity is really encouraged. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;People are very social here, in a way that they&#8217;re not in Southern California.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia &#8211; who was born and raised in California &#8211; has even learned how to cope with the rain in Britain. She joked: &#8220;It wouldn&#8217;t be a proper English summer without it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia previously explained she feels like she&#8217;s the &#8220;best version&#8221; of herself in London even writing a huge chunk of her new album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, in the city.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe singer &#8211; who previously dated London-born actor Louis Partridge &#8211; told Dazed: &#8220;I\u2019m the best version of myself when I\u2019m there. I wrote lots of the album in London; lots [of it] was inspired by my time there. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Maybe it\u2019s because it rains so much that all you want to do is be inside with the guitar and write.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\nOlivia also admitted to feeling inspired by Manchester, the home of bands such as Oasis, The Smiths, Joy Division, and The Stone Roses. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I spent some time in Manchester a few years ago and it was so rainy I was like, \u2018No wonder so many great bands come out of Manchester!\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/olivia-rodrigo-reveals-gives-joy-abnormal-life-1446391.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 June 2026 Olivia Rodrigo gets &#8220;so much joy&#8221; from &#8220;walking to the grocery store&#8221;.
