Olivia Rodrigo recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, where they had a wide-ranging conversation. They talked about various things, like how her parents are handling her fame, her time at university –which can be quite intimidating even for celebrities like her–, and even her considerations for naming her next album.
Despite her substantial fan base and successful careers in both acting and music, Rodrigo chose to keep learning and improve as an artist. In 2022, she enrolled at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, a respected music school in Los Angeles, where she took music production classes. But it turns out that her university experience had a rough start. She told Kimmel about her early days in class, which were a bit nerve-wracking.
Turning a Class Exercise Into a Global Hit
Despite the bumpy beginning, her time at university clearly had a positive impact on her music. During a surprise concert in Los Angeles recently, she revealed that her song «Lacy» started as a class project. “I took poetry classes, and one of the poems I wrote for an assignment that I loved was called ‘Lucy.’ Dan, my music producer, helped me turn it into a song,” Olivia explained.
