Olivia Rodrigo’s new British Vogue interview follows her through a hushed winter day in north London. During her profile, Rodrigo reveals that London gives her something she does not get at home — a chance to move through the world without feeling chased by her own fame. London feels lighter to her than things back home, and the pop star is here for it.
Olivia Rodrigo discusses why London feels easier than the U.S. in her British Vogue interview
In her interview, Olivia Rodrigo told British Vogue that life in the US can come with “really intense” attention, especially from paparazzi — but London, by comparison, feels lighter. She said, “I never feel that in London, which is like, ‘How wonderful is this?’”
People still notice her, but the piece describes them as curious glances. Rodrigo even jokes that, at first, she wondered if she simply was not that famous in the UK, before she realized, “British people are just cool – they don’t want to bug you.”
That calmer energy matters to her because she works hard to keep parts of her life to herself. The “self-professed Anglophile” explained to Vogue, “I lead a very private life, sort of,” adding, “That makes me feel protected enough to be able to bare my soul in the songwriting.”
Additionally, London shows up in her music. Rodrigo said, “I’ve found a lot of inspiration from being in London,” and admitted, “I’ve spent so much time here over the course of making this album. It has a lot of songs that are London vibes, about experiences that I’ve had here.”
For her London reset, Olivia Rodrigo hints at a style shift too, telling British Vogue in the interview, “my Pinterest is all babydoll dresses and ’70s necklines. I want it all to feel fun and laid-back.” And she does not hide how seriously she is committed to the city itself, confessing, “I want to half move here one of these days.”
