Pop icon Olivia Rodrigo who recently appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live on October 26 discussed her trip to the White House where she met President Joe Biden. The pop icon visited the White House over the summer to help get the word out to young people about the COVID-19 vaccine. During her appearance on the show, Olivia explained how everyone she got to meet there was “so kind,” including President Biden and Dr. Fauci.

Sharing her views on the same, Olivia said, “White House is just the coolest place. I was so nervous to go. But I, like, walked in there, and there is like all these plates that like George Washington used to eat his dinner on. And all of this crazy stuff. I was like, scared I was going to sneeze and break a priceless artifact. It was crazy. But I walked out, didn't break anything. Thank God.”
