\n\tIt\u2019s official: Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> has dropped her first-ever remix, featuring Chappell Roan<\/a>. The duo take us back to the Eighties for a vibrant rendition of \u201cExpectations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe video features a retro game show, as the two stars compete on \u201cThe Big Expectations Show. \u201cOh, Olivia does remixes now,\u201d Roan says at the beginning of the video, which includes campy takes on\u00a0Family Feud. Talking Heads frontman David Byrne makes a delightful cameo as the fictional host Johnny Johnson, while producer Dan Nigro features in the video as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tRoan also adds an new verse to the song, slightly changing the lyrics to reference a mediocre female suitor alongside Rodrigo\u2019s original lines.<\/p>\n

\n\tRodrigo and Roan both work with Nigro, and have collaborated together several times over the years. Roan opened for Rodrigo on the Sour Tour (2022) and Guts World Tour (2024), and performed Roan\u2019s \u201cHot to Go!<\/a>\u201d onstage together in Los Angeles. Roan recently headlined Rodrigo\u2019s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival<\/a>, and appeared on Rolling Stone\u2018s digital cover<\/a> celebrating the occasion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI remember her walking into the studio one day and just flat-out saying \u2018I don\u2019t give a fuck about what people say anymore. If I like it, then it\u2019s good,\u2019\u2009\u201d Rodrigo said <\/a>of Roan. \u201cI could tell she actually meant it, too. That\u2019s her magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRodrigo released \u201cExpectations\u201d earlier this year, off her stellar new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/a>. It marks her third album \u2014 after her 2021 debut Sour <\/a>and 2024\u2019s Guts<\/a> \u2014 and her third LP to debut at Number One<\/a>. Rodrigo held Daisy Chain on Aug. 29 in Great Park in Irvine, CA. The groundbreaking festival raised $10 million in donations benefitting women and girls, which was then doubled<\/a> by philanthropist Melinda French Gates, making it $20 million. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMusic was the first medium where the way I felt was really accepted,\u201d Rodrigo told us. \u201cGrowing up, that was my safe space. So if girls can come to Daisy Chain and feel a little sliver of that, that would be a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Roan will host her own event this month: the Super Graphic Spectacular<\/a>, a two-night event<\/a> in Los Angeles to raise money for trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities. It takes place on at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Oct. 21 and 22, and features Roan, Lola Young, Caroline Polachek, Tinashe, Muna, and more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s official: Olivia Rodrigo has dropped her first-ever remix, featuring Chappell Roan.
