Olivia Rodrigo OF BIZAARDVARK ON DISNEY

Q: I’ve enjoyed seeing Olivia Rodrigo on TV fairly often lately. Someone told me she was a regular on a series. Is that true?

A: As many young fans can confirm, she was a Disney personality before becoming a music superstar who went into this year’s Grammy Awards with six nominations, tying with Taylor Swift (among others). One of Rodrigo’s first performing credits was a jeans commercial, then she had the title role in the direct-to-video 2015 movie “An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success.” In 2016, she was hired to play Paige — a guitarist, thus letting Rodrigo display her musical inclinations — on the Disney Channel series “Bizaardvark,” and she was homeschooled during the three seasons she was on that show. She then moved on to the Disney+ program “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” which again enabled her to show her music talents during the three seasons she was on it. Then in 2022, Rodrigo decided to turn her focus principally to her musical career, which had started to pay off with her Grammy win for best new artist at the 2022 ceremony (one of seven categories in which she was nominated, also encompassing victories for best pop vocal album for “Sour” and best pop solo performance for “Drivers License”). Her Grammy bids this year were linked to her second studio album, “Guts.” In terms of the television appearances she has made lately, Rodrigp has been making the talk-show rounds to promote “Guts” as a guest of Jimmy Kimmel, Kelly Carkson and others. She also helped open the most recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony by teaming with inductee Sheryl Crow on both vocals and guitar on a duet of “If It Makes You Happy.”
