The White House wasted no time in utilizing the star power of Gen-Z superstar Olivia Rodrigo on Wednesday, when press secretary Jen Psaki invited the 18-year-old singer up to the podium to brief the media on the importance of vaccines ahead of her meeting with President Biden and Dr. Fauci.
Olivia, 18, was called upon to take the podium in the White House briefing room shortly after she was pictured arriving at the West Wing, looking every inch the pop sensation in a pink plaid Chanel suit, complete with a short mini skirt and matching jacket.
The TikTok star, who was grinning from ear-to-ear as she made her way into the West Wing ahead of her sit-down with the President and infectious disease expert Dr. Fauci, paired her Clueless-inspired ensemble with a pair of towering white platform heels from Giuseppe Zanotti, which she wore with some black socks.
She also toted a tiny black handbag with her - which likely contained her cellphone, something that will no doubt play a major role in the meeting so that she can share the White House's message with her millions of followers.
It is that online power that the White House is undoubtedly hoping to utilize in its bid to increase vaccinations among young people amid rising COVID-19 cases across the country.
Olivia boasts a weighty 25 million followers across her TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram and has earned quite the star status in recent months following the viral success of her debut single, Driver's License, which she followed up with the release of her number one album, Sour, earlier this year.

Now there’s a picture worth a thousand words.
The US Marines in these posts are absolute professionals. And not just window dressing either; any one of them would die to defend his post. They deserve all the respect in the world. It’s a much harder job than you might think.
Just standing motionless like that, eyes front, makes my back ache! I cannot imagine the physical stress of standing like that for hours. Not to mention the physical conditioning to be able to do that.
More than that is the mental game. You have to be ready for anything, whether it’s something as simple as someone entering or exiting (anticipating movements at all times) while assessing everything around you for possible threats. And 99.9% of the time, you’re just standing there, motionless, with absolutely nothing to keep your mind occupied.
It would be like being in solitary confinement for half your day every day, but you don’t get to move. Just stand there, perfectly, and move only exactly when needed, how you’re needed, and oh, be ready to die if necessary to defend people you probably don’t even like.
Where do the backstreet boys stand on the issue?
Wait till she drops dead 💀
Then they’ll be like “ it wasn’t the damn vaccine!!! “
Well, if they are going after the Millennial and Gen Y (or Z) demographic, then that's just stupid. The government needs to go after Baby Boomers (above the age of 50), who should be getting the 💉.
By “conversations”, they mean we sit there and listen to them lecture us. We don’t get to talk. Oh, and we are fully expected to accept their rules, plans, positions, etc.
Virtue signaling is hard.
The mental discipline is incredible. How do you keep your mind from wandering? How do you stay on mental high alert for so long?
Very good point!
Trump sure didn’t need a PR campaign to sell MAGA, did he?
It’s ok, she was issued a medical license by Facebook.
Olivia got the job cause Joseph Stolen thought her hair smelled really good
Meh, she is clueless.
Silverstone acted clueless, and that original remains the best

Those communists who need to micromanage everyone life, yeah, thats how they see themselves
She looks like a tall 12 year old.
Buffalo Schools encouraging COVID vaccines for students “I’d rather my kids by (sic) safe”
And I'm not talking about the typo.
I expect her in a few years to unveil herself coming out of rehab with a new haircut and hinting at being sexually used as a minor.
