Olivia Rodrigo: Heartbreak, Rain, and Her ‘I Melt With You’ Wedding Song

On a stormy June day in Hampstead Heath, the pop star Olivia Rodrigo – famous for heartbreak ballads – revealed she already had her wedding anthem picked: a nostalgic cover of Modern English’s ‘I Melt With You.’

The interview, which was originally set to film in the open park, turned into a rain‑filled outdoor shoot. The rehearsal “bombed” as clouds burst over the city, forcing the crew to scramble to the historic kitchen of Kenwood House.

While the tides of heartbreak swirl, Rodrigo keeps her seventh single, ‘Maggots For Brains,’ close to heart, practicing backing‑vocal adjustments on the way to the venue. Yet, she’s already charted a celebratory path through an alternate timeline, where every future holds a potential wedding set to the 80s hit.

The article also opened up why the UK’s spontaneous scene is a spell for her, why abandoning mainstream events like the Met Gala feels aligned with her values, and how her political activism echoes through her personal choices.
