The other thing I love about the title is that getting your driver's license is something we often build up so much and dream about before it actually happens. You think you'll be so independent and so free and it will be perfect. The reality often ends up being a little disappointing compared to that. The same is usually true about how we build up our image of what our first love is going to be like. So she built them both up so much and in the end...neither has brought the happiness she expected.

[@lexrp8226]

I think it’s weird how some people will complain that a person reacting to any video is talking too much or pausing too much. People that do that just need to watch the original video not complain to the reactor. I like watching reaction videos because I enjoy hearing their opinions & I really feel bad when the person reacting to the video feels they need to apologize for pausing or talking too much for me that’s the whole reason I’m watching in the first place.

[@iloveconnor021]

Personally, i actually like it when a person reacting pauses a lot or talks a lot about the video. It just shows that they are really trying to comprehend what they’re watching or that they’re really interested. Some reactors don’t take time to really understand or listen to every element of the songs and it just gives me an impression that they’re only here for the views which is for me, a waste of time to watch.

[@NatalieParenteau]

Olivia Rodrigo is 17 years old and in a show on Disney+ that's called Highschool Musical the Musical the Series and used to be in Bizzardvark ( the one which Jake Paul was on). It is not confirmed, that the song is about him, but many people (including me) think she and Joshua Bassett (her co-worker) used to be dating but he broke up with her because of the age gap (he's 20, she's 17). He said, he would wait, until she's 18 and they can date legal but he didn't and is (probably) dating Sabrina Carpenter now (blond hair girl, that is 4 years older than her). He also taught her how to drive and has a white car (in the bridge of the song she's talking about white cars). I don't know if it's true but it's possible that the rumors and theories are real. You should react to her song "all i want" that she wrote for the show and she did actually wrote a song with Josh called "just for a moment" for the show too. They used to be best friends and now everything is awkward between them. He writes songs too and there are a few songs, which could be about her.

I don’t know what it is with the young artists these days. They are so talented and they have so much more potential than the larger artists.

But instead they do it for their passion and love for music. It is so inspirational.

[@maraelaiza]

Nah. She has a unique voice that has character. It would be mainstream if she sings mostly with her chest voice and always hitting the high notes like typical OPM artists and contestants from local singing competitions. There are only a few artists here who chose to embrace their voice and not forcing themselves to belt out those high notes for the sake of pleasing the majority of the Filipinos.

Olivia Rodrigo is 17 years old and in a show on Disney+ that’s called High School Musical the Musical the Series.

He told her he would wait for her to turn 18 so they could legally date, but he didn’t. He is now rumored to be dating Sabrina Carpenter (the blonde girl, that is about 3 years older than Olivia which she refers to in the song) Joshua had also wrote a song about her which is why she says “guess you didn’t mean what you wrote in that song about me”. He also taught her how to drive a few times.
