She fully broke into the mainstream in 2021 when she released her debut single "Drivers License," and has enjoyed huge success as a pop star ever since.

He released his debut solo album in 2017, a year after One Direction went on an indefinite hiatus. Nbc Newswire / Getty Images To put it all into context, Olivia would have been 7 years old when One Direction was formed, and during a recent podcast appearance, she admitted that she was writing fanfiction about the band by the age of 10. Jb Lacroix / Getty Images Speaking on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Music Makes Us podcast, the star confessed: "I used to write One Direction fanfiction when I was in elementary school. Many years later, I hung out with Harry Styles, and we, like, got tea, and we walked around." Neil Mockford / Getty Images "I got home, and I was like: 'What the fuck?!'" Olivia went on. "Like, I feel like I wrote that in a fanfiction and I, like, lived it. That's so crazy, how that can happen in your life." Frazer Harrison / Getty Images "And he's so sweet!" she added. "I don't want to... I know he's very private, but I remember being like: 'If I told 10-year-old Olivia, she'd be like: 'Shut the fuck up! You're lying!'" Karwai Tang / Getty Images This revelation from Olivia proved to be super endearing to pop culture lovers, who discussed her comments on a popular Reddit forum. One person wrote: "She's just like us normies. Writing fan fiction of our favs." Josh Brasted / Getty Images "So there's hope for fanfic girlies? 👀" another asked, while somebody else joked: "Everyone living my dream but me."
