Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram - Olivia Rodrigo doesn't just share stories on Instagram; she spills her secrets through her music. The 20-year-old American singer-songwriter released her highly anticipated second studio album, "GUTS," on Friday, September 8, and it's nothing short of a masterpiece. Not only has she once again demonstrated her prowess in creating captivating pop-rock tracks, but she's also given us a glimpse into the diary of a young woman stepping into adulthood, sharing her personal experiences, and, of course, dishing out hints about her exes.
In a recent interview with Interview magazine, Olivia
herself confirmed that "GUTS" is not just a collection of songs; it's
a reflection of her life experiences. She candidly admitted, "When I
started writing this album, I would sit at the piano and pretend that other
people were listening to what I wrote, which is horrible and counterproductive
for creativity, so I had to write what I wanted and think about the social
implications afterwards."
But the burning question on everyone's minds is, who is
Olivia Rodrigo talking about in the songs of "GUTS"? While Olivia
hasn't officially confirmed the inspirations behind her tracks, we've donned
our Sherlock Holmes hats to uncover the clues hidden within the lyrics. Let's
dive into the mystery!
1. "Vampire"
Olivia Rodrigo's first single, "Vampire," delves
into the media frenzy that surrounded her when she released her debut album,
"SOUR," in 2021. However, there's more to this track than meets the
eye. The singer-songwriter drops a subtle reference to one of her ex-partners,
Zack Bia, whom she dated from February 2022 until August of the same year. The
intriguing phrase "Fame Fucker" appears to be aimed at him. Prior to
Olivia, Zack had dated singer Madison Beer and actress Madelyn Cline.
Coincidence? Unlikely.
In "Vampire," Olivia also alludes to the nightlife
of the person she begins a relationship with, describing them as someone who
lives for the night. This aligns with Zack Bia's past claims of being a
"night entrepreneur," as featured in his 2020 GQ interview.
2. "Logical"
"Logical" also seems to contain references to Zack
Bia, with the lyrics hinting at a relationship that began in February.
Curiously, Olivia and Zack crossed paths at the 2022 Super Bowl, which took
place on the 13th of that month. The song also touches on rumors about this
person, possibly reflecting Zack's not-so-glowing reputation following his
breakup with Madison Beer.
3. "Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl"
While Olivia Rodrigo has moved on from Joshua Bassett, a
verse in "Ballad Of Homeschooled Girl" raises the possibility of a
nod to her Disney ex. The lyrics "Everythin' I do is tragic. Every guy I
like is gay" could be a reference to Joshua Bassett's declaration of being
a queer person, which he made after expressing his admiration for Harry Styles
on Twitter.
4. "Lacy"
In "Lacy," Olivia Rodrigo sings about an
enchanting girl who evokes jealousy and admiration. While this description
could apply to anyone who's encountered a charismatic individual, Olivia's
comparison of this person to French cinema icon Brigitte Bardot draws
attention. Notably, Sabrina Carpenter, who was once entangled in the
"Drivers License" love triangle, has posed as Bardot for a photo
session. Could Sabrina have inspired this fictional character? It's worth
pondering. Thankfully, Olivia and Sabrina's current friendship suggests there's
no ill will between them.
5. "Get Him Back"
Lastly, Olivia Rodrigo dedicates verses to another of her
exes, Adam Faze, in "Get Him Back." The lyrics "I met a guy in
the summer and I left him in the spring" align perfectly with her
relationship timeline, as she dated Adam from the end of August 2021 to
February 2022.
These songs provide clear hints about Olivia's past
relationships, and she's done so with remarkable artistry and transparency.
"GUTS" truly shines as a musical gem that lets fans dive deep into
the life and experiences of this talented artist.
