  "account": "Olivia Rodrigo has expressed her admiration for Ariana Grande's new album petal, hinting that she might cover one of the songs from the project in the future. In an interview ahead of her Daisy Chain Fields festival, Rodrigo shared that she has been enjoying Ariana's album recently, to the point of considering covering one of her songs. She also mentioned that Role Model's cover of her song 'maggots for brains' and Sienna Spiro's cover of 'less' were both very fun and flattering, showcasing the incredible talent of their respective artists. Both Sienna Spiro and Ariana Grande have previously covered Rodrigo's songs for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, a show Rodrigo himself has graced in the past with covers of Noah Kahan's 'Stick Season' and CMAT's 'When a Good Man Cries.' Ariana Grande's music has also provided memorable Live Lounge performances, with Hozier performing 'Problem' in 2015, The 1975 covering 'Thank U, Next' in 2018, and Gracie Abrams singing 'We Can't Be Friends' earlier this year. The two pop stars have previously expressed their mutual admiration, with Grande reposting a TikTok in which Rodrigo danced to 'The Boy Is Mine' and praising Rodrigo's breakout hit 'Drivers License' when the Wicked star was a coach on The Voice. Rodrigo is currently preparing to host the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival, an all-women event she created to raise funds for causes supporting women and girls. The lineup includes Chappell Roan, Doechii, KATSEYE, Stevie Nicks, and more, all donating their time and performing for free in charity.",
