For many Disney fans, Olivia Rodrigo is a familiar face. The 17-year-old got her start on Disney Channel as Paige Olvera in Bizaardvark, but most recognize her from the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which premiered in November 2020, where she stars as Nini Salazar-Roberts.
While acting, Rodrigo began demonstrating her musical skills by writing her own songs for the show. According to Bustle, the young star wrote "All I Want" and "Just a Moment" alongside her co-star Joshua Basset. So real fans knew the success of "Driver's License" was almost guaranteed. However, what really pushed the song in front of more music lovers was the co-sign from Taylor Swift, the queen of sad girl songs.
On Jan. 8, 2021, Rodrigo took to her Instagram to post a photo of her song in the top 3 songs on the U.S. iTunes chart, under T. Swift's "it's time to go" and "right where you left me" from her latest album evermore. In the comments section, the pop star wrote, "I say that's my baby and I'm really proud." The comment now has more 500,000 likes. And how did the rising teen star respond? With a TikTok video, of course.
