Were you alive in 2021? Then you most definitely have heard of Olivia Rodrigo and her breakout hit “drivers license.” And you probably have also heard of Joshua Bassett, Olivia’s ex-boyfriend (and then current co-star) who inspired the song. But what you might not have heard was the whole story of their relationship…

From their on-screen chemistry in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series to the real-life drama that played out on radios across the globe, listen as we explore the rollercoaster of a teen romance between Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.

In this special Patreon episode of Significant Lovers, we unpack the break-up behind Olivia and Joshua’s music, the “blonde older woman” that is Sabrina Carpenter, the current state of pop music, and the phenomenon of one-sided relationships (and why have we all experienced it?).

A tale as old as time: an ordinary girl meets a dashing prince, and though all young maidens in the land pine for his hand, he only has eyes for her. Well, this was the plot of a young Kate Middleton’s middle school play; unaware she’d grow up to one day live out a real-life fairytale. Was it written in the stars? Was real life just as much of a storybook?

We’re going back to 2001, when Prince William first laid eyes on the beautiful, yet unassuming brunette in the dorms at the University of St. Andrew’s. Part 1 is all about their university days and early 20s, filled with surprisingly relatable experiences—playing drinking games, dealing with jealousy, and facing the uncertainty of post-graduation life. While this episode is dedicated entirely to their courtship, complicated by the mounting media attention and pressures from the palace—stay tuned for Part 2, where we will continue with their married life.
