Her Rise To Stardom
According to Olivia Rodrigo, the idea to try acting came after her singing teacher told her that she was expressive with singing and would do well in acting. Coming from her teacher whom she respected so much, she enrolled in a local acting class, fell in love with her, and started auditioning. She auditioned by the ton before she finally got a role in Grace Stir’s Up Success and then in Bizaardvark at the age of 12.

The sitcom revolves around two teenagers – Paige and Frankie, who are aspiring musicians, and their daily lives as they try to write and perform their own songs.
