Dec 25, 2021
Washington [US], December 25 : American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo on Friday shared a portion of a Christmas song titled, 'The Bels', that she wrote when she was just five years old.
According to People magazine, the 'Drivers License' singer wrote in the caption of her Christmas Eve Instagram post, "In honor of Christmas Eve may I present to you my very first Christmas song 'the bels' written by 5-year-old me lol."
The clip was accompanied by an adorable picture of a young Rodrigo holding a microphone while dressed in a holiday outfit. A second picture showed her wearing a Santa hat in front of a Christmas tree, with 'The Bels' written above the image.
The past year has been quite the whirlwind for Rodrigo. Her debut album, 'Sour', was released in May, and in November, she earned seven Grammy nominations. Earlier this month, she was named TIME's Entertainer of the Year.
Rodrigo, who will appear in the third season of 'High School Musical', told the outlet, "Songwriting is the thing I take most seriously in my life. It's the most personally gratifying too."
Rodrigo told People magazine, earlier this year that despite her busy schedule, she enjoys taking time out for herself, even if that means it's by herself.
She said, "I can very easily get burned out and exhausted. And when you're burnt out as the artist, I find it really hard to be inspired and create work that you really like. So, definitely taking time off has been paramount. And my team has been really awesome about giving me breaks when I need it, and letting me rest, and take it easy with what I need to."
Rodrigo added, "I love spending time by myself. That's the best thing ever. But I really love hanging out with my friends. I feel like that's really rejuvenating for me. And I love talking about stuff that is not music or industry-related."
