Olivia Rodrigo says she feels “weird” receiving praise for speaking out on humanitarian issues in new Popcast interview:
“I try to stay educated on things. I make a conscious effort to try my very best because I think it’s important for everyone […] I’m an artist and what I do for my job is like ‘this is how I feel.’ And I present it to people and I think I would be disingenuous to be like, ‘I don’t feel heartbroken about what’s going on in Gaza.’ As an artist, I feel like that’s what you do and that’s my job [to use my platform]. I also feel really weird taking credit. I feel I could be doing more.”
