Olivia Rodrigo on how her grandpa predicted she'd be a performer when she was born

The Gen Z singer-songwriter shares the story of the man who knew she'd turn out to be something special when she was just 'hours old.'

But even the family patriarch couldn’t have predicted just how far she’d take her talents, which she first showcased as a musically inclined actor in the teen shows “Bizaardvark” and “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.”and now to the cover of Time.

“It’s such a huge honor to be Time’s Entertainer of the Year. To be recognized in this way is just a real privilege,” Rodrigo said. “I feel very lucky.”Ree Hines is a freelance writer and editor who covers pop culture, lifestyle stories and trending news.
