Who is Olivia Rodrigo? Drivers License singer to perform at Brit Awards

She's the young singer who has taken the world by storm this year and Olivia Rodrigo will get a huge opportunity to impress UK audiences when she performs at the Brit Awards.

While the annual ceremony has been pushed back three months, it will still be a grand affair which will be witnessed by some of music's biggest names and an audience of 4,000, many of whom are key workers who've been given tickets as thank you for all their hard work during the coronavirus pandemic.

And just like the raves in Liverpool a few weeks ago, those present at the Brits won't have to be distanced from each other or wear a mask.

As well as the crowd and Brit Awards nominees for this year's, someone else in attendance will be Olivia who will perform Drivers License, the biggest single in the UK so far this year.

Who is Olivia Rodrigo?

Still only 18, American starlet Olivia is best known for Paige Olvera on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark and Nini Salazar-Roberts on the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.

The latter saw her recordings of songs like Wondering and All I Want become huge streaming successes.

Well that was before the release of Drivers License at the start of 2021, which has been a huge hit all over the world and spent nine weeks at number 1 in the UK.

She followed it up with recent single Deja Vu.
