Olivia Rodrigo Has Her Very Own "I Don't Know Her" Moment

[penelopetaynt]

When Olivia Rodrigo released her single "drivers license" she had no idea it would spend 7 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top 100 list.

In a recent interview with RADIO.com the High School Musical: The Musical Series star reveals that the song "affects everyone, regardless of age or gender."

Oh I bet all six of Sabrina’s die hard stans on Twitter are pissed at that “I don’t know her” moment lmao.

You know what re-reading it, saying they’ve only met or interacted in passing and that she couldn’t write a meaningful song about someone she doesn’t know is a good burn on Sabrina’s song lol

[meadowphoenix]

Is it? Sabrina says it's not about her, AND it only make sense to be about Olivia, if Olivia's song is about Sabrina. This is just a self-burn.

But Drivers License isn’t about Sabrina, it’s specifically about Olivia’s feelings in the wake of a breakup. Olivia’s song invokes Sabrina and the gossip, and it clearly capitalizes on it. But at the end of the day the song is more about heartbreak and unfulfilled promises than it is about her exes new girlfriend.

Skin specifically and clearly exists only as a response to Drivers License and tries to paint Olivia as an obsessed hater

yeah skin is weirdly cruel and disproportionate in response to olivia's brief mention of sabrina.

like: "You can try
To get under my, under my, under my skin
While he's on mine"

LOL. fucked up.

eh, DL does mention "sabrina" and i don't think it's a neutral mention (you can quibble about the extent of "made" but at any point it suggests active responsibility on "sabrina's" part especially considering the original lyrics), and I think song being about the relationship ending doesn't mean that the mention of "sabrina" isn't given importance in the song. in fact, the song only having few specifics gives those specifics a LOT of importance.

and your second point is actually my point. skin only exists as a response if DL's mention of that other girl is sabrina (and therefore implies enough knowledge about "sabrina" to suggest her responsibility) so...self-burn.

but this is starting to feel like that snl skit, lmao.
