musicMay 28, 20268207

Olivia Rodrigo told the New York Times Popcast that criticism of her babydoll dresses "really shows how we really normalize pedophilia in our culture." She made the comments while promoting her Traitor music video, which features a scene of her jumping into a pool. Rodrigo defended the outfits as part of her artistic expression and said the backlash points to broader cultural problems around sexualizing young people. The remarks reframe how fashion and pop imagery can normalize harmful attitudes and signal that Rodrigo will publicly defend her creative image.
