Olivia Rodrigo sat down for an interview with Variety and discussed about being welcomed in the industry by Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift.

The singer said, “It's so nice to be welcomed into the music industry and so great to be supportive of other women.”

She continued, “[Taylor Swift] wrote me a letter a while ago, and she wrote something about how you make your own luck in the world, and how you treat other people always comes back to you.”

Rodrigo added, “I don't want to divulge too much because it's really sweet and personal, but she talks a lot about how, I think, you make your own luck in the world. I don't know, she put it so eloquently, and when I say it now ... it's not as cool.”

The actress talked about meeting Gomez, she shared, “I met Selena, and she was so kind. She talked to me a lot about prioritizing mental health, which I think is really important in this industry. All of us were in the limelight very young. … That can be taxing on your psyche and can bring about all these weird issues.”
