Olivia Rodrigo once wrote a song with a crude British phrase that was lost on Americans.<\/p>\n
\nThe 23-year-old pop star – who released her latest album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love on Friday (12.06.26) – hilariously revealed those who listened to it thought “bloody a**hole” was a medical condition, not a mean person.<\/p>\n
\nJoining Capital Breakfast for A Very British Day Out at the pub with Jordan North, she spilled: \u201cI wrote this song about someone that I didn\u2019t like, and I was actually trying to be British. And I wrote \u2018he\u2019s a bloody a**hole\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEveryone listened to it and they aren\u2019t British, so they literally thought \u2018bloody a**hole?\u2019 Like something surgically or medically was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe American singer has a soft spot for the UK.<\/p>\n
\nOlivia has made no secret of her love of British cuisine – including dippy eggs – and recently revealed she consumed three sticky toffee puddings ahead of her Glastonbury set.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “I stayed at this [hotel] that had the best sticky toffee pudding, and I was like, ‘You know what? I gotta do it’.<\/p>\n
\n“If the toffee’s really hot and the ice cream melts on top, it’s really good.”<\/p>\n
\nShe loves dippy eggs and soldiers (toast) so much; her friends buy her egg cups.<\/p>\n
\nOlivia said: “My favourite thing is dipping soldiers into an egg.<\/p>\n
\n“I got really obsessed with it. My friends even bought me different egg cups from all over the world.”<\/p>\n
\nOlivia’s new album features a Brit, with Robert Smith of The Cure featuring on the track What’s Wrong With Me.<\/p>\n
\nRevealing her favourite songs on the album, she said: \u201cI think The Cure is my favourite song. I love the last song Cigarette Smoke a lot. I really love Purple. Oh, and I love Honeybee.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olivia Rodrigo once wrote a song with a crude British phrase that was lost on Americans.
