Olivia Rodrigo Teases Ariana Grande Cover After Obsessing Over Her New Album

Olivia Rodrigo might be giving pop fans the ultimate crossover moment. The hitmaker just dropped a huge hint about the next track she wants to record, and followers of Ariana Grande are going to want to pay close attention. During a fresh sit-down with *Wonderland* magazine ahead of her upcoming Daisy Chain Fields festival appearance, the chart-topping singer opened up about her current listening habits. When asked if there was an anthem by another main-stage act she would love to record herself, Rodrigo admitted she has been non-stop playing Grande’s latest studio project. She noted that picking a song from that specific tracklist feels like the most natural choice for her next cover release.

The former Disney star also reflected on how thrilled she gets whenever fellow performers release renditions of her own catalog. Rodrigo praised indie musician Role Model and rising songstress Sienna Spiro for recently giving two of her tracks their own personal touch. She called the gestures incredibly flattering and described watching other musicians interpret her lyrics as one of the absolute best parts of her job. Specifically, Role Model took on her track "maggots for brains," while Spiro delivered a fresh version of "less." Those re-imagined cuts clearly left a big impression on Rodrigo, inspiring her to think about paying that same artistic respect forward to Grande.

While the vocalist stopped short of naming the exact tune she wants to tackle, fans are already speculating which of Grande's emotionally charged pop cuts would best suit her signature vocal delivery. Hearing Rodrigo tackle Grande's polished pop hooks with her own alt-rock edge would undoubtedly turn into an instant viral hit across social platforms. With her festival duties looming and her fanbase eager for fresh drops, a tribute to one of pop's biggest vocal powerhouses could easily become the centerpiece of her next live set or studio release.
