Olivia Rodrigo is 19 and on fire. The “Brutal” singer-songwriter rang in her final year of being a teenager when she turned 19 Sunday (Feb. 20). She documented her birthday celebration — which included a subtle shoutout to Lorde — in an Instagram post Monday (Feb. 21), sharing photos and video from her party and captioning it, “thank u for all the birthday luv! i am now 19!!!!!!!”
The photos showed the teen artist in a pink outfit with matching cowboy hat, balloons, and a cake with the perfect lyric from Lorde’s Melodrama track “Perfect Places” — “I’m 19 and I’m on fire!” — written in pink frosting.
Rodrigo had quite a few people wish her happy birthday, from the partygoers singing to her in a short clip included in her Instagram post, to Queen Bey herself. Beyonce’s website displayed a “Happy Birthday Olivia Rodrigo” message on the “Good 4 U” pop star’s big day, a sweet gesture the “Black Parade” artist previously extended to Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, and many others.
A longtime fan of Lorde’s, the birthday girl once showed off a DIY project she made in a since-deleted April 2020 Instagram post: a T-shirt with a photo of the “Solar Power” artist hugging another of Rodrigo’s musical heroes, Taylor Swift.
