Olivia Rodrigo, a Filipino-American pop singer, has been inundated with messages from admirers congratulating her for representing the Asian culture.

"I sometimes get DMs from little girls being like, `I`ve never seen someone who looked like me in your position.` And I`m literally going to cry. Like just thinking about it. I feel like I grew up never seeing that. Also, it was always like, `Pop star,` that`s a white girl," Rodrigo said in an interview.

She said: "I think you are kind of doing something very radical by just existing as a musician and the way that you are as of this Asian artist. I don`t know if that ever factors into the way that you approach your career. Because if I think about that too much myself, I get overwhelmed. "And so I only open that drawer every now and then. How often do you open the drawer?" Rodrigo then added: "I think we share a lot in that sort of space, and that`s incredible to think about."
