Seven minutes before Olivia Rodrigo gets on the phone, Billboard announces that her new single, \u201cDrop Dead,\u201d has debuted at number one on the Hot 100. When I mention this, she becomes almost too shy to speak. \u201cIt\u2019s been a very exciting few weeks,\u201d she manages.<\/p>\n
No kidding. Rodrigo is taking the call during a quick break from rehearsals at Saturday Night Live, where she\u2019ll appear as both host and musical guest this weekend. \u201cI\u2019m really nervous about it, but I\u2019m trying to maintain my composure,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

It was actually really inspiring musically.\u201d (She also watched David Beckham\u2019s documentary<\/a> recently and loved it.)<\/p>\n The collaboration comes as part of Spotify\u2019s years-long sponsorship of FC Barcelona, which has seen the platform lend its space on jerseys worn by the world\u2019s top players\u2014including Lamine Yamal and Raphinha\u2014to major musical artists. Limited-edition jerseys, T-shirts, and more will be available to the public starting May 1.<\/a><\/p>\n Below, Olivia opens up to Vogue<\/em> about the whirlwind of the last few weeks, fashion\u2019s role in her work, and what vibes we can expect on her next album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/em>, coming in June.<\/p>\n Vogue: In the promo images and video for the Bar\u00e7a collaboration, you\u2019re wearing bloomers, which feel like a nod to the \u201cDrop Dead\u201d video. Can you talk about the costuming in the video?<\/strong><\/p>\n Olivia Rodrigo:<\/strong> I really love the idea of a babydoll [dress]. I just remember being younger and having pictures of Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland from all these riot grrrl punk bands in their babydoll dresses, just owning it. I always thought that that was really cool, and so I like that there\u2019s an element of that. I also like that it kind of feels a little pajama-y. The concept of the video is like magical realism for me. Like, oh, I just woke up and I\u2019m in Versailles, I\u2019m trapezing through the halls in this outfit that I maybe could have just woken up in. That was sort of the nexus of it, and I think the colors went really well with the beautiful gold backdrop and then tied into my album imagery as well.<\/p>\n
