In 2021 Olivia Rodrigo performed a NPR Tiny Desk concert at a DMV!

It was at the height of the Covid Omicron wave. There was no audience, and the musicians kept their distance. Background: In 202O her boyfriend, Josh Bassett betrayed Olivia , leaving her for Sabrina Carpenter. You only have to hear her performance of Driver's License (8:40) to know how much she was hurt. Her first love broke her heart.

Sabrina got rid of him, but there’s another one that will willingly overlook his past to be with him.

After Sabrina, he came out as queer, then decided he wasn't after finding Jesus. With that history, his debut album was a flop, and his tour even worse.
