Olivia Rodrigo visits White House to promote young people getting vaccinated

Olivia Rodrigo is fully embracing her platform as the face of a new generation.

The 18-year-old breakout pop star visited the White House on Wednesday (July 14) to lend her chart-topping voice to youth vaccination:

President Joe Biden had announced Rodrigo's visit earlier in the day:

Before that, Biden posted a throwback photo to Instagram on Tuesday (July 13). "I know this young person would've gotten vaccinated, but we've got to get other young people protected as well," he captioned. "Who's willing to help?"

"I'm in!" Rodrigo commented. "See you tomorrow at the white house!"

Rodrigo's arrival alone—we can't confirm if she was fashionably late or on time, but she was undeniably fashionable—caused a stir:

The High School: The Musical: The Series star instantaneously became a household name with the release of "drivers license," her debut single, in January. The song spent eight weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, and she continues to break charting records with her debut album Sour, which debuted atop the Billboard 200.
