Olivia Isabel Rodrigo (born February 20, 2003) is an American singer-songwriter and actress. She began her career as a child, appearing in commercials and the direct-to-video film An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success (2015). She rose to prominence for her roles as a guitarist in the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark (2016–2019) and a musical theater enthusiast in the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (2019–2022).

Shifting focus onto her recording career, Rodrigo signed with Geffen Records to release her 2021 single "Drivers License", which peaked at number one in the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks and raised her to international prominence. That same year, she released her debut studio album, Sour, which spawned her second number-one song "Good 4 U" and the similarly successful singles "Deja Vu", "Traitor", and "Brutal". A documentary, Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U, was released the following year, and chronicles the creative process of Sour. In 2023, she released her second studio album, Guts, supported by her third number-one song "Vampire" and the singles "Bad Idea Right?", and "Get Him Back!"

Overall, Rodrigo has released three Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, two Billboard 200 number-one albums, and eight multi-platinum songs by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Her accolades include an American Music Award, seven Billboard Music Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards. She was recognized as Time's Entertainer of the Year in 2021, Billboard's Woman of the Year in 2022, and twice as "Songwriter of the Year" at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards in 2022 and 2024.
