Olivia Rodrigo is a Disney actress and pop star whose first single debuted at the top of the hit charts. Her singles include “Driver’s License”, “Deja Vu”, and “Good 4 U”. She also starred in shows like “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”, and “Bizaardvark”.
Her first on-screen appearance is through the Old Navy commercial and that paved her way to fame.
Aside from her undeniable talent, Rodrigo is also loved by Filipinos because she has Filipino descent on her father’s side. Her great-grandfather is a pure Filipino who moved to the United States.
No wonder why Yeng really felt honored when she knew about the news, which turned out fake. Despite the disappointment, we can commend the singer’s composure.
