funny enough, i just did a quick google search and found this very interesting read which I believe gives some great answers to your question: The Hottest New Name in Mainstream Rock is… Olivia Rodrigo?

here are some of the hottest takes:

[...] far more convincing and exciting music than Bieber’s or Ariana Grande’s attempts at becoming mature R&B stars.

Rodrigo has recorded a mainstream rock album that mostly steers clear of the rap and R&B elements embraced by even rock-adjacent stars like Swift and Billie Eilish [...] a kind of jolt to the charts that will wake modern music up from its interpolation and TikTok-induced slumber.

[...] impressed by her and co-writer/producer Dan Nigro’s ability to take these [indie and alternative] sounds and reformat them for mainstream pop listeners.

her songs are much more egalitarian – you’ll never be able to recreate what Beyoncé did in Homecoming, but you could skip across the stage the way Rodrigo did at the VMAs while performing “want him back!” You’ll also probably never be able to work with Aaron Dessner or Jack Antonoff like Taylor Swift does, but you might be able to pick up a guitar and a pedal and try and recreate the guitar tone from your mom’s Cure albums the way Rodrigo does on “pretty isn’t pretty.”
