Olivia Rodrigo Is the Coolest Teen You’ve Ever Seen in ‘Sour’ Documentary Trailer
“Being a songwriter is just the absolute dream,” says pop phenom Olivia Rodrigo in the new trailer for her upcoming Disney+ documentary. “It’s my way of making sense of the world.”
From director Stacey Lee, driving home 2 u (a sour film) sees Rodrigo retracing the drive between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City that she made countless times while recording her excellent (and spectacularly popular) debut album, Sour. The latest trailer features footage from recording sessions and stunningly staged performances of new arrangements of Rodrigo’s hit songs.
When the 19-year-old’s first single, “Driver’s License,” debuted in January of last year, its melodramatic teen angst resonated in a big way. As a radio host points out in the trailer, it quite literally became the most popular song in the world, smashing streaming records left and right. It even became the punchline of a Saturday Night Live sketch in which a bunch of bros in a bar get weepy belting out the song’s infectious bridge.
