Olivia Rodrigo, known for her hit songs and bold personality, recently sparked a conversation during a Netflix interview promoting her GUTS concert film. In the interview, the singer revealed one of her most unique and specific questions when dating: she asks her potential suitors if they would want to go to space. According to Rodrigo, if the answer is yes, that’s a dealbreaker.
Rodrigo holds firm in her belief that anyone who dreams of venturing into space is “a little too full of yourself” and finds the idea “weird.” She shared this view while holding up a white tank top with the words “Dump Him” written on it, a nod to Britney Spears, further adding to her quirky and candid persona.
The comment quickly went viral, sparking a wide range of reactions on social media. Pop culture aggregator account Pop Crave shared Rodrigo’s statement, and soon users were chiming in with their thoughts. One user joked about how “great earth enjoyers” are, while another wrote, “any guy obsessed with space exploration is the worst guy you will ever meet.”
In the midst of this, musician Grimes responded with a provocative take, stating, “It’s true. Only women should want to go to space.” While Grimes seemed to misinterpret Rodrigo’s original point, the comment did bring attention to the fact that Grimes has a history with Elon Musk, the tech mogul who is a vocal advocate for space exploration.
This exchange highlights the ongoing cultural fascination with space and the diverse opinions surrounding its significance in modern life.
