Olivia Rodrigo takes a class at the USC School of Music

Olivia Rodrigo recently took a class at the Thornton School of Music on Wednesday at the University of Southern California.

The news began to circulate after a fan shared a photo of the pop star in her class.

Additionally, they described the post with a caption that read, “No way am I in class with Olivia bruh.”

Regardless, soon after another image of Rodrigo began to circulate on the 19-year-old singer’s fan pages.

The image revealed Rodrigo’s status at the university, which listed her as an ‘undergraduate visitor’ with an ‘unclassified’ major.

USC’s official website states that a “visiting student” can join and complete “individual courses for professional or personal development without enrolling in a degree program.”

Also, a visiting student is basically a ‘non-award student’. They ‘pay tuition fees in advance and receive normal formal instruction, assessment and results’.

In simpler terms, the Good For U artist is only taking a few classes to broaden her music production horizons at USC instead of earning a full degree.

Olivia Rodrigo took the stage with Billy Joel

Olivia Rodrigo joined the legendary Billy Joel on August 24, 2022 during his residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The show was Joel’s 82nd consecutive sold-out show.

The teen singer took to the stage to reveal her love for Joel after being introduced to the New York audience.

She said, ‘Hey guys! Thanks so much for having me, Billy. I’m a big fan and I wrote this next song about you.

Rodrigo then performed his hit single Deja Vu. Following this, the pair duetted with Uptown Girl, which was included on Joel’s ninth studio album An Innocent Man.

Meanwhile, Rodrigo wrapped up his tour in support of his Sour album last month. He performed two shows at the Eventim Apollo in London, England on July 6 and 7. The singer-songwriter began the tour on April 5 in the United States of America.

She was nominated for seven categories at the Grammy Awards for her album Sour. However, she managed to get three wins.
