Olivia Rodrigo and Kelly Clarkson jump out of their common “hero” Alanis Morissette

Olivia Rodrigo and Kelly Clarkson grew up in different decades, but they both share a musical idol they love.

In a new clip from the “Vampire” singer's interview on Kelly Clarkson show, the duo discuss their shared “hero,” Alanis Morissette. “It's why I'm a songwriter. I was like, 'Oh man, I can take it,'” Clarkson told Rodrigo, who noted that her mom introduced her to the rocker.

“I have the coolest mom ever,” said the 20-year-old Grammy winner. “I remember hearing 'You Oughta Know' on the radio when I was 12 and going, 'Oh my God, what is that?' Can he say this line for the theater? What? This is crazy.' I fell in love with her.”

Flash forward to May 2022 and Rodrigo performed the 1995 hit with her idol on stage at her Sour tour stop at the Hellenic Theater in Los Angeles. “Can you believe it?” Rodrigo gushed to Clarkson.

The “Get Him Back” singer went on to induct Morissette into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame that same year. “My life has completely changed [after hearing Jagged Little Pill]”, he said during the ceremony. “Alani's songwriting was like nothing I had ever heard before and I haven't heard anything like it since. And this voice — wild and tender and sometimes funny and playful. I was hooked for life.”
