Jimmy Kimmel also offered the singer an opportunity to fulfill her long-held dream of being a babysitter <\/p>\n
\n\tOlivia Rodrigo<\/a> stopped by Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> Live to perform her evocative single, \u201cThe Cure,\u201d<\/a> and to chat with Jimmy Kimmel about her forthcoming LP, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. <\/p>\n \n\tThe singer, clad in a white gown, showcased the emotionally-wrought number alongside her live band while surrounded by a pile of red microphone cords. \u201cMy head is full of poison, and my heart is full of doubt\/ I got toxins in my bloodstream and you tried hard to suck \u2019em out,\u201d she sings on the track. \u201cAnd it feels like medication, and it\u2019s good for me, I\u2019m sure\/But it don\u2019t matter how your love feels anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tRodrigo has so far shared a few songs from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, out June 12 via Geffen Records. In April she released \u201cDrop Dead,\u201d <\/a>the LP\u2019s first single,\u201d followed by \u201cThe Cure\u201d last month. She recently showcased<\/a> her collaboration with Robert Smith, \u201cWhat\u2019s Wrong With Me?,\u201d live at Primavera. <\/p>\n \n\tThe singer joined Kimmel to discuss making the album, shooting her \u201cDrop Dead\u201d music video at the Palace of Versailles, and choosing the title. \u201cThe record is about being in love, but in sort of a nuanced way,\u201d she told Kimmel of the album\u2019s name. \u201cIt definitely has its highs and lows. I thought that the title really captured that.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tRodrigo also explained how she became a fan of the Cure and Smith. \u201cI feel like everyone is a fan of the Cure,\u201d Rodrigo said. \u201cI just think they\u2019re the best band ever. I think I was probably introduced to them through my parents. My dad is a huge Cure fan. We saw the Cure perform at Primavera the other day and he said that was his 30th time seeing the Cure. He\u2019s a diehard, super fan.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tLater during the interview, Kimmel offered Rodrigo an opportunity to do something she never got the chance to do because she became so successful at a young age: babysit. In a pre-taped segment, titled \u201cDreams Come True,\u201d Kimmel put Rodrigo in a dressing room with 10 children belonging to his staff, a chaotically hilarious experience. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Kimmel also offered the singer an opportunity to fulfill her long-held dream of being a babysitter Olivia…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,3484,3488,13478,15735,282],"class_list":["post-493951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-jimmy-kimmel","tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","tag-late-night-tv","tag-olivia-rodrigo","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
