Listen "108. When Olivia Rodrigo Met Joshua Bassett *TEASER*"
Episode Synopsis
Were you alive in 2021? Then you most definitely have heard of Olivia Rodrigo and her breakout hit “drivers license.” And you probably have also heard of Joshua Bassett, Olivia’s ex-boyfriend (and then current co-star) who inspired the song. But what you might not have heard was the whole story of their relationship…
From their on-screen chemistry in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series to the real-life drama that played out on radios across the globe, listen as we explore the rollercoaster of a teen romance between Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.
In this special Patreon episode of Significant Lovers, we unpack the break-up behind Olivia and Joshua’s music, the “blonde older woman” that is Sabrina Carpenter, the current state of pop music, and the phenomenon of one-sided relationships (and why have we all experienced it?).
