Manifesting Her Dreams

She added, "i went to the Grammy museum so many of my free weekends bc I was so fascinated by the history of the show and all of the incredible musicians that made it up. many dreams have come true for me this year but this one is probably the most meaningful. thank you to everyone who has believed in me and supported the songs I write."

On Her Career

Rodrigo has worked hard in her music career, despite being so young. In a recent interview, she shared what it's like working in the industry.
"When you’re in the industry, you’re sort of treated like a child but expected to act like an adult," she told Teen Vogue last month. "That’s a really terrifying thought, to think that I’m not allowed to make any mistakes, because I think that’s how you grow as a person. I’m no different from any other 18-year-old out there. I’m definitely going to make a lot of mistakes in my life and in my career probably too. That’s just life."
