The star learned a thing or two about handling heartbreak and growing from it from a totally unexpected person, 19-year-old Gen Z icon Olivia Rodrigo.

Drew admitted that she’s: “really good at being alone,” after she asked Olivia whether she was single. The talk show host said that she was in fact single, while the Good 4 U singer was vague about her relationship status, but explained that: “Even when you’re with someone you’re single, always.”
They both bonded over the fact that they grew up as only children in their families, revealing just how much that helped them be independent adults, and fans totally resonated with them in the comments of the subsequent post about their talk.

The emotional conversation
The songstress also had to shake off the intense mood of the statement, before explaining that she wrote that after going through a tough heartbreak and feeling “so responsible for it,” because she felt that ultimately she had “put herself in the position to be hurt.”
