Role Model Admits He Botched Olivia Rodrigo Cover For BBC
Do you know about this guy Role Model? It's fine if you don't. You're not really missing anything. Role Model, also known as Maine native Tucker Pillsbury, is one of these alt-pop pinup guys. He was on Saturday Night Live last year , and he had Charli XCX out dancing onstage with him. He gets booked at a lot of festivals even though he's not very good at playing live. And he's here to tell you…
Maine native Tucker Pillsbury, better known as Role Model, has admitted to botching his attempt at covering Olivia Rodrigo's hit single "Maggots for Brains." The performance took place at the BBC Live Lounge as part of the promotional rounds for his new album, Chuck Timely & The Hourglass. The BBC posted the cover on their Instagram story, leading Role Model to write, "i covered olivia for BBC and im just gonna get ahead of the comments and let you know i botched it."
Despite this admission, Role Model's botched rendition does not diminish his status as an alt-pop pinup and festival favorite.
