Olivia Rodrigo "lucked out on the parent lottery".

The 23-year-old pop star has enjoyed a meteoric rise since releasing her debut album, Sour, in 2021 - but Olivia credits her friends and family for helping her to remain grounded.

The brunette beauty - who is one of the world's best-selling musicians - told Dazed: "The people you hang around with are important.

"My friends are really honest with me sometimes - they'll just be like, 'No, that's not good, don't do that.' And I have really awesome parents, too. I think I lucked out on the parent lottery. They have always been a really safe, stable resource for me.

"I also just really love what I do. I think that, as long as it comes from a place of passion and excitement and not from a place of 'I need to do this so people like me', that's the recipe for success and happiness. I try to remember that that's what it's really all about."

Olivia revealed that she loves escaping the pressures of fame and success by simply reading and spending quality time with her friends.

Asked how her perfect day would look, Olivia replied: "I'm really into yoga these days. So I would probably wake up, go to yoga, get brunch with my friends, go to the beach ... and honestly, on my best day ever, I would write a really good song. Then go to the movies, eat dinner at the movie theatre. That's my perfect day.

"I like reading a lot, too, it's obviously very inspiring as a songwriter. I'm reading The Color Purple right now, that's really good. I also read this book called Abortion by Jessica Valenti - anyone who's interested in protecting our reproductive freedoms should read it."

Meanwhile, Olivia previously claimed that fame has "stunted" her development.

The singer has enjoyed huge success in recent years, but Olivia feels that growing up in the public eye has had a detrimental impact on her.

Olivia told the Guardian newspaper: "Nobody can be perfect, ever. It's so funny because I am so strait-laced. But it's hard.

"I feel super mature in some ways and super stunted in others because of how I've grown up.

"I have such curiosity to learn and grow and experience things, and how am I ever going to learn if I can't make a mistake in the privacy of my own life?"
