Olivia Rodrigo is no longer a teenager

TWITTER / OLIVIA RODRIGO

The Filipino American singer/songwriter celebrated her birthday on Feb. 20.

Her brief appearance at the Grammys this year to present the Best New Artist award to Samara Joy reminds us just how much we miss Olivia Rodrigo.

With her world tour finished, and the three Grammys that she won in 2022 safely at home, the Filipino American songwriter and singer has been relatively quiet after her hit debut album, Sour, topped the charts and several of her songs broke record sales.

On Feb. 20, she celebrated her 20th birthday. In an Instagram post, Rodrigo shared a snapshot with a plain cake with two decades, representing decades,  with the caption: "20 year old girrrrrlllllll."

In November, her fans got an early hint that Olivia has been busy writing some new songs when the singer sent a special video message out via Spotify Wrapped: 

“Hey, it’s Olivia! I just wanted to say thank you so much for listening to my music this year,” she said. “I really, truly couldn’t be more grateful and I’m so excited for next year, and all of the new things and new music that 2023 will bring. So I’m sending so much love your way and thank you again! Bye!”
