On Thursday (February 4), in an interview with
Nylon, Rodrigo spoke about Swift, who is one of her personal idols. She revealed that one of her earliest memories of music is singing along to Swift s Picture to Burn as a four-year-old child.
Rodrigo told
Nylon that she used to belt the song s chorus ( I hate the stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive ) as a little girl, which ended up inspiring her to write her own songs.
“I was making up songs about pickup trucks, even though I had never seen a pickup truck in my life up to that point,” Rodrigo said.
