During a recent interview with Pitchfork, Olivia Rodrigo was tasked with classifying a list of things as over or under (rated that is). From heartbreak and mustaches, to therapy and more, find out what the superstar had to say.

From bacon, which Olivia noted is perfectly rated, heartbreak - underrated, performing live at award shows - overrated, and mustaches — so underrated, to being a teenager — overrated, being in your twenties — so far, underrated, rom-coms — underrated (she’s currently in more of a horror phase), writing fan-fiction — underrated, making out — underrated, and high heels — so overrated. Olivia kept her ratings quick and succinct in a rapid fire way.
Olivia also rated American Girl dolls as underrated, and admitting that when it comes to getting back together with your ex — “the sequel is never as good as the original, never.”
Somewhere in-between, when asked about therapy, Rodrigo shared that “Going to therapy is so underrated, the most underrated thing ever. I feel like there’s such a stigma, like if you’re generally pretty happy and stable that you shouldn’t waste your time going to therapy. And I always kinda thought that, cause I’m pretty okay and neurotypical, but going to therapy has just changed my life in every way, so I think very underrated, I highly recommend.”
