Olivia Rodrigo’s smash hit, “Drivers License,” implies a world of characters and inspires listeners to role-play as them.
I’m not proud to say that my first reaction to Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License,” the ballad that seemed to come out of nowhere to break streaming records in the first month of 2021, was,

YAPHANK, Long Island (WABC) Police are investigating a crash on the Long Island Expressway that killed a teenager Monday.
Suffolk County Police say officers responded to a motor vehicle crash in Yaphank after receiving a call at 2:22 p.m.
They say Franklin Eduardo Sajbin was driving a 2004 Jeep eastbound on the Long Island Expressway near exit 66, when he struck a 2018 Alfa Romeo driven by David Cohen.
The Jeep then hit the guardrail and flipped over the embankment, landing on the LIE service road.
The two passengers in the Jeep, 18-year-old Katherine Sajbin, who was sitting in the back seat, and her 40-year-old mother Violet Sajbin, who was in the front passenger seat, were both ejected from the car.

I was asleep, it was 6 a.m., and one of my best friends called me. He said, âOlivia, check your phone, check your texts, check your Instagram,â and I was like, âCan it wait?â I screamed! Iâm the biggest Swiftie and she inspires every song Iâve written. Sheâs an absolute genius, so to have her blessing meant the world.
Other than Taylor, whom would you most like to collaborate with?
I love Lorde. Sheâs the greatest lyricist of our generation. Sheâs incredible. I love Gwen Stefani too. Iâve been listening to tons of her stuff. No Doubtâs
