Olivia Rodrigo has shared one of the ways she avoids the toxicity of social media.

In the September issue of GQ, the 18-year-old singer revealed that a friend set up a “child lock” on her phone and then forgot the password – meaning Rodrigo can log into apps for only 30 minutes a day.

“Which is honestly the biggest blessing,” she said. “You’re literally not meant to know what everyone is saying about you at all times.

“It helps to not look at that s**t.”

Rodrigo steered clear of talking about others in the interview. On Courtney Love’s accusation of plagiarism: “To be honest, I'm just flattered that Courtney Love knows that I exist.” On her costar Joshua Bassett coming out as part of the LGBTQ+ community: “I know nothing about it, and it's not my business to speak on it.”

She did, though, describe Britney Spears’ conservatorship as “horrific” and “just so awful.”
