Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo recently unveiled the secret behind her touring good luck charm, and it involves none other than Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson. During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Rodrigo proudly showcased her custom-made in-ear monitors from the Sour tour, adorned with an image of Twilight’s lead character, Edward Cullen, played by Pattinson. This revelation provided a glimpse into the singer’s sentimental connection to the iconic character.
In a moment of enthusiasm, Rodrigo expressed, “That’s Edward Cullen on my in-ears. He’s my guiding light on tour. I have to have my lucky charm… Love him.” The revelation not only showcased her admiration for Pattinson’s portrayal but also added a touch of whimsy to her touring rituals.
Beyond the Twilight-inspired revelation, the interview with Kelly Clarkson delved into Olivia Rodrigo’s impact on the music scene. Clarkson, impressed by Rodrigo’s achievements at the age of 20, dubbed her “the Alanis for her generation.” The American Idol alumna praised Rodrigo’s influence, drawing parallels to the impact Alanis Morissette had on earlier generations.
During the conversation, Kelly Clarkson playfully questioned Rodrigo about having the coolest mom ever, to which the young artist enthusiastically responded, “I do have the coolest mom ever.” Rodrigo then shared a delightful anecdote about becoming a fan of Alanis Morissette, recalling the moment she heard “You Oughta Know” on the radio at the age of 12.
Reflecting on the influence of artists, Rodrigo emphasized, “You don’t realize the impact you make as an artist on people, and she [Alanis Morissette] just impacted so many — for different generations.” The exchange highlighted the interconnectedness of musical legacies and the lasting impressions they leave on fans of all ages.
