The song quickly became an overnight phenomenon, with TikTok users creating millions of videos recreating the music video or explaining the drama behind it.The songs ripped-from-the-headlines backstory only added to the publics obsession. Rodrigo has been a Taylor Swift fan since she was a kid, and Swifts songwriting style has clearly inspired Rodrigo, whos mined specific details of her life to tell the universal story of love lost. I got my drivers license last week, just like we always talked about / cause you were so excited for me to finally drive up to your house, she sings, later crooning about seeing the guy everywhere, especially in all the white cars. Fans quickly picked up on this, pointing out that Rodrigo said in an interview that her rumored former flame (and High School Musical co-star) Joshua Bassett taught her how to drive in his white car.But maybe the most telling lyrics come when Rodrigo sings, I bet youre with that blond girl, who always made me doubt / shes so much older than me, shes everything Im insecure about, because as it turns out, Bassett was recently seen with a blond girl who is so much olderfour years, which is practically a decade to a 17-year-old like Rodrigo.

Shes the rumored blond girl, because she and Bassett were spotted together at Black Lives Matter protests over the summer and dining out in Californiaa year after Bassett allegedly wrote a love song about Rodrigo called Anyone Else in his Salt Lake City apartment while filming HSMTMTS, which Rodrigo nods to with: I guess you didnt mean what you wrote in that song about me in drivers license. Rodrigo and Bassett seemed to be on good terms through late April, when Rodrigo liked Bassetts tweet urging his followers to remind someone you love them right now. But in August, Rodrigo posted on TikTok about failed relationships.How the Hell Did Olivia Rodrigos Drivers License Become the No. 1 Song in America?In an attempt to tell her side of the story, the 21-year-old Carpenter released Skin last week, which lacks any kind of self-awareness, especially considering shes the elder in this situation. On Skin, she sings, Maybe then we could pretend theres no gravity in the words we write / Maybe you didnt mean it, maybe blond was the only rhyme, and then later, You can try to get under my, under my, under my skin / While hes on mine. Bassett subsequently praised the song on his Instagram, writing, been stuck in my head since I heard it!!!Oh, and Bassett has a song, too. Its called Lie Lie Lie, and even though he wrote on his Instagram Story that its about a friend, fans think its about Rodrigo. In it, he sings, So youre telling them its all my fault / Youre the victim this time, and in its accompanying music video Bassett hangs out a car window, which mirrors what Rodrigo does in her music video.Both Rodrigo and Carpenter have cited Lorde and Swift as songwriting inspirationsTaylor Swift is my songwriting idol and I wouldnt be half of the woman and a songwriter I am today without her, Rodrigo told NME. Carpenter said in an interview: I think Lorde is an incredible lyricist and someone I always look up to and also musically, she does such her own thing in her own lane. As for Bassett, he says John Mayer is his inspiration.Somehow, by the grace of God or good publicists or possibly both, all three artists have released their own song about the love triangle in a matter of two weeks. Not only that, but Rodrigo and Bassett seemingly put their hate aside while promoting HSMTM: The Holiday Special in December, even praising each others prolific songwriting skills.Rodrigo, Bassett, and Carpenter are far from the first young lovebirds to put their real-life drama to song. In 2008, an 18-year-old Swift went on The Ellen Show to tell the host and her millions of watchers that boy-bander Joe Jonas broke up with her in a 25-second phone call, and that she had written a song about itForever and Always, which was on her Grammy-winning album Fearless. There were other songs, too, like Better Than Revenge, where Swift sang about another girl stealing her boyfriend. Shes not a saint and shes not what you think, shes an actress / Shes better known for the things that she does on the mattress, sang Swift. The Jonas Brothers returned fire with Much Better, which nodded to Swift and all the tears on her guitar and how much better the new girl was. The rumored much better girl was actress Camilla Belle, who doesnt write songs, so perhaps well never know her side of the story. (However, when Swift receives bad press, Belle usually tweets.)Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake played this game, too, with Cry Me A River and Everytime. But the alleged other man in this situation, Wade Robson, was just a dancer, so he never got his chance to sing the blues or cast a Spears lookalike in a music video. Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, and Aaron Carter made comments about one another in the press and on SNL about their love triangle, but as far as songs go, there was really only ever Duffs Haters, where she sang, You say your boyfriends sweet and kind / But youve got your eyes on mine.Rodrigo may not have gotten the guy in the end, but she did receive Swifts approval. I say thats my baby and Im really proud, Swift commented on Rodrigos Instagram photo.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
