There are only a few people who can make the drive to school one of the best days ever, and Olivia Rodrigo is one of them.
On Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host and his wife Molly surprised their 9-year-old daughter Jane and 6-year-old son Billy on the way to school. When asked if they would like to “learn something at school today”, Jane replied: “Not really… I don’t like school.”
To change the day, Jimmy suddenly announced, “There’s a hitchhiker up here,” as he drove toward Rodrigo himself. “Oh my God, Billy. This is Olivia Rodrigo,” Jane shouted, covering her face as the Guts superstar herself climbed into the back seat. After Kimmel and Molly’s kids got over the initial shock of one of the world’s biggest pop stars quitting work to hang out, they sang along to Jane’s favorite song, “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” and Billy’s “Get Him Back!” Notably, Billy stated that he would “beat his penis” if he ever got it back for Olivia.

The video ends with Rodrigo (jokingly) admitting, “I don’t have a driver’s license,” before quipping, “This isn’t Carpool Karaoke?”
In September, Rodrigo met another one of her biggest fans, also named Olivia, on the YouTube series Recess Therapy. In the episode, Olivia told Rodrigo that Guts was “one of the best albums you’ve ever put out” and later said, “You’re one of the coolest artists I’ve ever seen.” And you were like the first – me knows there were others, but they were really, really childish and childish. But then I saw you and thought: This is going to be the best artist in the world and I bet when I’m older I’ll meet her.”
