Olivia Rodrigo About the special ability that she has, she told in a video interview with “Vogue”. How she suffers from synesthesia, explained based on her work – songs from the album “throat”.

“‘driver’s license’ It’s purple, but “good 4 yo” It’s a kind of blue-purple. “jealousy, jealousy” Like bright red “deja vu” – Orange, pink, light purple ”- she said. Now no one should be surprised why the “Soar” cap is only purple.
