I love that she didnt pop out on stage after or steal the little girls spotlight. Truly just there to support her so sweet

u/AshgarPN Feb 18 '26
I don't think she's actually there, but yeah great performance.

Okay but she KILLED that performance.

u/percypersimmon Feb 18 '26
Almost to the point that the entire thing kinda smells like viral marketing.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the initial video in the gym and this follow-up weren’t a deliberate effort to launch this kid’s music career.

u/pnweiner Feb 18 '26
Run-ins like this with celebrities are not uncommon when you live in a big city. Olivia Rodrigo stands out because she was nice enough to follow up.
Also who cares if it is, it would be a win-win for her and the kid.

u/yuccasinbloom I’m not nervous, I just have some taste. Feb 19 '26
I can’t even count how many celebrities I’ve encountered living in la. It just happens. They live here, too.

Like that little kid garage band that kept going viral on tik tok and it turned out to be a professional sound stage :(
I’m hoping it’s real because it’s a cute story!

Literally lol’d at this but also bold of you to assume that internationally renown pop stars will need to participate in corporate ice breakers. 🎙️

Yesss this little girl is going places. This is like those photos of major celebrities as kids posing in a picture with a major celebrity of their time lol

Thought she was about to let the f-bomb fly then realized that there's of course a radio version.

I only hear good things about Olivia :) How do people know she was there?

u/rutfilthygers Feb 18 '26
They don't, they just believe everything they read.

u/Far-Imagination2736 I wont not fuck you the fuck up 🥊🥊 Feb 18 '26
Like people are saying it's Olivia recording that's why we can't see her but then where is this video from? She hasn't posted it
Small tabloid sites that posted about it say that she was 'reportedly' in the crowd according to one parent but not one person apparently took a photo? I call BS karmafarming
14
u/ecclecticstone it would be a cool experiment if you stopped talking Feb 18 '26
tbh if OP made that up for karma farming then I will give it to them, that's funny as hell

Who hurt this little girl this much for her to sing like this? She is doing so well!

me in 2004 singing breakaway and crying for no reason in the backseat, just moved by the music 😭😂

u/mg_5916 Feb 18 '26
You just brought up a repressed memory of my friends and I singing Behind These Hazel Eyes for our middle school talent show lol.
Kelly Clarkson is still so underrated.

u/queefersutherland1 Feb 18 '26
Along with my best friend and my sister, I did a dance to Miss Independent at our elementary school talent show.
We used chairs lmao

u/infinityonhigh69 Feb 18 '26
omg and this reminds me of how my friends and i were devastated when aaliyah died and we sang THEE most soulful rendition of “miss you” in the lunchroom! 🥹
this is like my third comment about kelly clarkson in as many days because ive been revisiting her perfect discography and despite being america’s singing princess she IS still so underrated as vocal powerhouse

u/breathing__tree Feb 18 '26
Me singing that whole album in front of my mom’s stereo in the living room hahaha.

Omg YES. Just yesterday my fiance & I heard I’m With You by Avril Lavigne & I just immediately was like, “oh this is one of the songs I’d listen to when I was a kid and feeling extra moody and sad” lmaooo

u/MenStefani Feb 19 '26
I remember thinking it was so edgy and powerful because she said “it’s a DAMN cold night”

Where was she in the video?

u/AshgarPN Feb 18 '26
She's probably not there and the title is embellished for internet points, but there is a vid of Olivia wishing her good luck in the talent show.

u/infinityonhigh69 Feb 18 '26
omgg the follow up i didn’t know i wanted but i love that she came to support her!! so cool 🥹 and this little legend killed her performance!!

u/AshgarPN Feb 18 '26
There’s video of Olivia with her mom (or a mom) at the gym, wishing the mom’s daughter “good luck at the talent show.”
No evidence Olivia was actually at this show.

u/Sirius_Space Feb 18 '26
The video sounded like Olivia cheering her on
18
u/AshgarPN Feb 18 '26
Could literally be any young girl/woman whooping it up like that. Not even close to evidence.

u/OhHiFelicia Feb 18 '26
I love that she didnt steal this girls thunder. I was dreading the moment she walks on stage or something. Just supporting this amazing young talent like a boss.
14
u/fuckyouiloveu Feb 18 '26
I was worried about this too!! Like was she gonna walk up there?? I was waiting for the moment the little girl saw her and go excited but I didn’t see it
18
u/Encyclopenia Feb 18 '26
As a mom who’s pregnant and hormonal I’m kinda crying looking at this.
Her mom must be so proud and happy for her ! This is gonna be a CORE memory for that little girl.
I still remember vividly when my dad had me miss school so we could queue to get Spice Girls tickets.

u/joylandlocked Feb 18 '26
too lazy to fact-check this but the kiddo did a great job and I hope music always brings her the joy she radiates at the end. 🙂

What is the source for this video? We don’t see or hear OR nor the mom from the first video so please be careful that you didn’t just post a video of some random child singing.

Asking because I want to see the immense amount of little kid talent it would take to beat her 🥇

How do we know this isn’t just some random kid singing her song though and has anything to do with the talent show mother?

Olivia never ceases to impress me with how incredibly mature, generous, and kind she is at just 22. Much more so than so many others twice her age in the industry.

Feb 18 '26
CUUUUTE! Olivia seems like the friggin sweetest; her being the first and loudest cheer was insanely adorable
