Did you know that PinkPantheress and Olivia Rodrigo are besties?

The "Boys a Liar" singer expressed her excitement and nervousness to go on tour with the "Vampire" singer for her highly anticipated and upcoming "GUTS" world tour.

"Obviously Olivia is way bigger than me, so at first, I was quite nervous to say yes," the 22-year-old singer admitted. "But then I was like, 'I feel like I need to do this.' And then she texted me to say, 'Thank you so much for saying yes! I can't wait!' and that has gotten me so excited."

Apparently, while the two rising stars are from different countries and excel in different genres, the pair are friends.

According to reports, PinkPantheress and Rodrigo met in 2021 in London, where they bonded over dinner.

"We're both quite similar ages and so it was quite nice to meet someone in front of me who was my age and had the same type of interests and sense of humor," she continued.

Rodrigo has been in the entertainment industry for a while now; she began her career as a Disney Channel star before eventually transitioning to music.

On the other hand, PinkPantheress, born has always been into music. She began uploading music on SoundCloud before she rose to prominence after going viral on TikTok.

They are both, by all means, newcomers to the music industry, which can be a bit daunting and isolating for such young adults entering that world-this is what made their bond strong.

"We've had different experiences in the music industry, but she can still empathize with a lot of what I might be going through as a young person navigating the industry and everything," PinkPantheress continued.

Despite being new, both stars are beloved by fans and have chart-topping hits. PinkPantheress also sees a bit of herself in Rodrigo, especially in terms of releasing music.

"I recognize her as somebody [who] takes a break. There are some people in the industry [who] like to be constantly surrounded by the limelight," the singer explained. "But I feel like she's one person [who] takes her time, and will take time out and really take a step back when she needs to, which is similar to me."

PinkPantheress will be accompanying the "Deja Vu" singer as she hits the road for the upcoming tour in 2024. She will be present at the show in New York on April 5 and 6, as well as several other shows in cities including Los Angeles, London, Paris, Amsterdam, and more.
