Olivia Rodrigo teams up with Sheryl Crow for epic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance
New York, New York - Olivia Rodrigo celebrated Sheryl Crow's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a special performance at Friday's ceremony.
The 20-year-old singer kicked off the big night at the Barclays Center with a duet performance of Crow's If It Makes You Happy, with Rodrigo later showering the 61-year-old musician with praise in a sweet video tribute.
She particularly praised Crow's lyricism, saying, "She says things I would have never thought of in the most beautiful way."
The traitor artist further gushed over Soak Up the Sun artist in a statement to Billboard.
"I am a massive fan of hers and her incredible songwriting," Rodrigo said. "She's equally as kind as she is talented, and I feel so lucky that I was able to be part of celebrating such a legend."
The night before her Hall of Fame induction, the nine-time Grammy winner returned the favor as she proudly declared that Rodrigo is "the real deal" while chatting with Jimmy Fallon.

"She's precious. She's a great songwriter," Crow said on The Tonight Show, adding that she has been impressed by how well the Disney+ star has navigated her quick rise to fame.
