Olivia Rodrigo made a surprise appearance at a New York City open mic last night (April 26) – check out footage of the moment below.
The ‘deja vu’ artist is gearing up to share her third studio album, ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’, which is set to arrive via Geffen on June 12 – pre-order/pre-save your copy here. So far, she’s shared the lead single ‘Drop Dead’ and debuted it live during her surprise appearance in the middle of Addison Rae’s set at Coachella.
Last night, she stopped by Pete’s Candy Store to perform a pared-down version of the track at the Williamsburg venue, which has hosted an open mic every Sunday for over two decades and has featured artists including Norah Jones, Vampire Weekend, Joanna Newsom, Sufjan Stevens, and more.
After her surprise appearance, Brooklyn-based artist Industry Monk shared a clip of his performance from the night, writing: “Me, unaware I was opening for Olivia Rodrigo.” Other fans took to social media to express shock that the former Glastonbury headliner was working such intimate rooms.
“[She] somehow feels like an underrated indie artist and a huge pop star at the same time,” wrote on fan on X. “And I mean that as a compliment.”
