Olivia was actually asked about “Skin” in an interview and basically said this! She said something like “people should be able to write about whatever they want to write about”

[@donttalktome313]

@@hannah8973 True, that's a really smart answer for someone who's been so quiet about the drama. Unfortunately, some people only focus on her words "I don't actually know her at all". the saddest point is the fact that even if they're so focus on those words, they still didn't get what she's implying.

I literally love her so much. I haven't watched HSM musical yet but it still feels like growing with an artist from the very beginning. And it's even more exciting because you can tell she has so much potential with her small discography so far. Feels like she's gonna have something similar to Taylor's journey, which I can watch from the beginning since I only started listening to Taylor during Folkore era! So fkn excited for Sour and everything beyond.

also one more pet peeve that might be completely unrelated is that everyone always wants her to mention something abt taylor ALL the time. like we get it shes a swiftie(i am one too pls dont hate) but that doesnt mean she has to keep mentioning taylor...
