After her big win at the 2022 GRAMMYs, Olivia Rodrigo finds herself rubbing shoulders with the ultimate socialite, Paris Hilton, at an afterparty last Sunday.

Olivia Rodrigo HUGE Wins at the 2022 GRAMMYs

Olivia Rodrigo's night was one of the biggest among all the stars, as he clinched three Gramophones, including Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album for "SOUR," and Best Pop Vocal Performance for "drivers license."

The 19-year old singer received three out of the seven categories she is nominated for, contrary to earlier predictions where she is expected to have an even bigger night as she is expected to take home the Album of the Year and Song of the Year.

Aside from winning, Olivia also trended on social media with her surprising "flirty" moment with BTS' V (Kim Taehyung) minutes into the supergroup's highly-anticipated "Butter" performance.

The "drivers license" hitmaker also serenaded the audience with the GRAMMY debut performance of his No. 1 hit at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, trailing after Silk Sonic's fiery opening performance.

Just like her idol, Taylor Swift, Olivia broke one of her three GRAMMYs while posing for a photo on the red carpet after the show. Similar to what happened to Taylor in 2010 when she dropped one of her three Gramophones as well.

Rodrigo and Swift have over and over professed how they both admired each other as the former was dubbed as the "next Taylor Swift" with their similar songwriting styles and media image.

Olivia Rodrigo Skips GRAMMYs New Artist Party, Goes to Paris Hilton's Instead

The streaming giant Spotify traditionally holds the GRAMMYs New Artist Party ahead of music's biggest night, inviting all the nominees for the coveted category.

Per Variety, the party was supposed to be helmed by GRAMMY-winning DJ David Guetta, who did not make it to the event for delays in travelling to Las Vegas.

All nominees were in attendance at the Saturday afternoon party before the ceremony, except the person who actually received it the following evening.

Although Olivia Rodrigo was brutally old enough to get her driver's license, she was too young to enter the party; being only 19 years old, as the event is strictly open to 21-years old and above.

Despite being barred, it did not prevent her from having fun after the ceremony at an afterparty with Paris Hilton.

The two danced off to Hilton's iconic song, "Stars Are Blind," in a now-viral video where the two are singing and dancing on the dancefloor.

Hilton also commented on Olivia's Instagram post the day after, showing nothing but love for her newfound friend.
