Olivia Rodrigo Turns Up At Billy Joel Concert, Creates Instantly Iconic Moment
Pop star Olivia Rodrigo brought down the house at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night ― and it wasn’t even her gig.
Music icon Billy Joel invited Rodrigo on stage during a performance that’s part of his ongoing residency at the famed arena.

“I’m such a huge fan and I couldn’t have written this next one without you,” she told Joel before launching into the song.

“I don’t even know what TikTok is,” he said last year. “But this is a thing.”
