And while the BTS records used to be spirited, it used to be one more comment Sheeran made right by map of the interview that drew the most commentary. “I treasure Olivia Rodrigo,” Sheeran told host Michael Bennett. “I don’t know if she would adore this comparison, however I’ve been announcing for years the arena desires a original Avril Lavigne. You know, adore a girl who rocks out and writes the song, and he or she’s 17, and he or she’s, adore, impossible. I treasure that total component that is happening.”
Sheeran, 30, also gave props to Billie Eilish right by map of the chat. He used to be clearly attempting to position the spotlight on some younger artists he admires, however Twitter had a few issues to enlighten about the fact that each and each Rodrigo and Lavigne write their very non-public songs and that Avril, no longer for nothing, is silent a recording artist releasing original song.
“Olivia rodrigo is olivia rodrigo. There’s simplest one avril lavigne and he or she’s releasing a original pop punk album this summer,” wrote one.
