Conan Gray praises ‘beautiful’ pal Olivia Rodrigo

Conan Gray has sung praises of his closest friend, Olivia Rodrigo.

The 26-year-old crooner became friends with Olivia through their mutual producer, Dan Nigro.

In a new interview with People Magazine, Conan shared how the Deja Vu songstress is like on and off the stage.

“There’s not that much of a difference,” said the singer. “I think the Olivia that the world loves is very much the Olivia that I love. “

“She’s a great advice giver, and her music is extremely representative of who she is,” he continued.

Conan added, “It’s really fun going to her shows and seeing her on stage and knowing that the world gets to see such a beautiful person.”

For those unversed, Conan and Olivia are also two of the few Gen Z Asian American stars.

“Any mixed-race person in America is going to have a unique experience to other people, and it’s always nice to have a community and friends,” said Conan.
