Video / NZ HeraldOlivia Rodrigo says hearing Lorde’s Royals “changed the trajectory” of her life. The brutal hitmaker, 20, was “blown away” when she heard the 27-year-old New Zealand pop star’s 2013 hit because it was the first time that she heard her life in a song. “I remember listening to it as I first started writing songs and just being blown away by her lyrics that are just about being a teenager living in the suburbs. I just feel like myself when I’m writing. “It taught me that I write songs that I want to hear.”
