Olivia Rodrigo – USA Cosmopolitan Magazine 2026

With over 46 million monthly listeners, two multiplatinum records, and three Grammys, Olivia Rodrigo was already on her way to being deemed the voice of a generation. Then, with the release of her first single ‘drop dead’ and officially becoming the first artist in history to debut the lead single from their first three albums at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, she cemented her status. Now, her Livies (and the world) eagerly await the release of her third studio album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.’

She’s also just a girl preoccupied with everything typical of a 23-year-old, like decoding her crush’s zodiac sign or accepting that she doesn’t have it all figured out yet.

Who better to interview Olivia than someone who knows her as both a global pop star and a real friend? Enter Madiso Hu, Olivia’s closest confidant (and a Columbia University creative writing graduate) who sat down with the Cosmopolitan Summer 2026 cover star for her first in-depth interview since her album announcement. Catch up with Olivia about her new album, what she’s learned about love, and her goals for the future.
