Olivia Rodrigo shares funny story about producer Dan Nigro’s daughter during promotional event for new single The Cure
Olivia Rodrigo shared a humorous story involving producer Dan Nigro and his young daughter during a promotional event for her new single The Cure.
Rodrigo revealed that Nigro’s four-year-old daughter, Saoirse Raine, who previously contributed a voice cameo to her sophomore album GUTS, has apparently decided not to participate in the singer’s upcoming album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.
The Grammy-winning artist recalled a moment when she and Nigro picked Saoirse up from preschool after a songwriting session.
According to Rodrigo, music was playing in the car and she began singing along before Saoirse made a blunt but amusing comment.
“I hate it when Olivia sings,” Rodrigo quoted the child as saying, drawing laughter from the audience attending the event.
Rodrigo and Nigro have frequently joked about Saoirse’s involvement in their creative process. The child’s voice can be heard at the end of the track Teenage Dream from GUTS, a detail that became popular among fans after the album’s release.
Nigro has been one of Rodrigo’s closest collaborators since her breakthrough success with songs such as drivers license and vampire.
The pair have worked together extensively on Rodrigo’s chart-topping albums and have developed a well-known creative partnership within the music industry.
Fans online reacted warmly to Rodrigo’s latest anecdote, with many praising the singer’s sense of humour and close relationship with Nigro’s family.
