Olivia Rodrigo, born in 2003, is best known for playing the lead role of Nini Salazar-Roberts in the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which premiered in 2019. She is also popular for her role as Paige Olvera in another Disney series, Bizaardvark, which aired between 2016-2019.
After a successful start in acting in musical shows, Olivia signed with Interscope Records and Geffen Records in 2020. She then released her debut single, “Driver’s License,” in Jan. 2021. It was a mega success: the song went viral on TikTok and soared to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s ‘Hot 100’ chart.
“Driver’s License” especially gained viral attention since fans speculated that the heartbreak ballad was about her ‘HSMTMTS’ co-star Joshua Bassett, whom fans believe she had briefly dated (this is purely based on rumors, however). Fans also believed the song called out fellow Disney star Sabrina Carpenter, whom Joshua is friends with. Drama aside, though, Olivia has captivated millions of fans with her amazing voice alone.
