Olivia Rodrigo enjoys watching her fans’ reactions to her song Traitor.
The pop star has revealed that she relished in watching fans react to the heartfelt ballad during her Guts World Tour.
“I love looking at the audience during Traitor,” Olivia told Teen Vogue in a recent interview.
The 21-year-old then said that the fans who react most strongly to the song are younger than she expected.
“There’s always these little girls and they’re six or seven, they’re so young, and they’re screaming every lyric and crying, bawling, screaming, feeling so much emotion,” Olivia said. “And I always just think like… “Oh my gosh, who hurt you?” You’re six years old, who betrayed you?”
The Good 4 U hitmaker continued, “But it’s so beautiful to see them have this outpouring of emotion, even if they haven’t been in a relationship quite yet. I just think it’s so fun and beautiful.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Olivia divulged that she has an unusual pre-show ritual to get “hyped” for the shows, which are chronicled in her new Netflix concert film.
“Well, we show a little bit of it in the movie, but before every show, me and my band and my dancers, we’ll all gather around, we’ll make a little circle and we’ll sing a funny song about the city we’re in or take a pop song and make it about circles because we’re (standing) in this circle,” she told the publication, adding that the ritual helps her feel “connected” to her team.
Olivia kicked off the tour in February in support of her second studio album, Guts, and the trek wrapped up earlier this month.
