Time magazine has announced that Olivia Rodrigo is its 2021 Entertainer of the Year.
The magazine recognized the 18-year-old singer for her breakout year, which included chart-topping hits like, the release of her debut album Sour and seven nominations at her first Grammys.
"Somewhere along the way, she even appeared at the White House with President Joe Biden to encourage young people to get vaccinated," reads the tribute.
'Her songs have hit with audiences of all ages, in large part because she renders adolescence so viscerally: she’s resentful, seething, crushed, itching to just grow up already,' read another part of the excerpt.
Time announced the honor via social media, sharing a photo of the 18-year-old star who wore a black turtleneck sweater and a billowy black skirt.
On Monday, December 13, Time will reveal the prestigious Person of the Year honor.
