Olivia Rodrigo Talks About How 'Drivers License' Changed Her Life At Grammys

Olivia Rodrigo walked the red carpet at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, where she got emotional about her Grammy-nominated hit song, "drivers license."

"Literally talking about it is gonna make me cry. I've been watching the Grammys since I was a little girl and always dreamed that I would come and visit," Rodrigo told People red carpet hosts Jeremy Parsons and Janine Rubenstein.

This year, the teen singer was nominated for seven Grammys in total, according to the official website. "The fact that I was nominated for so many today is beyond me. I can't believe it," she said of her nominations.

Rodrigo then shared what keeps her grounded. "I'm so lucky I have the most amazing family and the most amazing friends. They're actually all here tonight. My parents are here, all my best friends flew out, so it's gonna be a party."

During an interview for the Grammys.com red carpet preshow, Rodrigo also looked back at how quickly her life changed after she released her hit song. "The first few weeks that 'drivers license' came out was some of the weirdest few weeks of my life," she said.

She recalled hearing her music for the first time after it started making waves, and shared: "My mom was walking around our neighborhood. She walked by a car that was blasting 'drivers license' out the window and I was like, 'That's crazy,' and that was one of the most surreal moments of my life and it's only gotten crazier."

Rodrigo, who also performed at the show this year, spoke about one particular performance that struck a chord with her while she was growing up, according to People.

"There's this video of Beyoncé doing 'If I Were a Boy' at the Grammys, and I remember watching it like 25 times, being so enamored with her," the 19-year-old said. "It's so crazy that, maybe one day, a younger girl's going to watch my performance many times and think that it's cool. That's the dream. That's all I want," she added.
