St. Vincent Praises Olivia Rodrigo as a ‘Precious Baby Angel Muffin’ at Variety’s Hitmakers Event

The rock star presented the pop star with the storyteller of the year award at Variety’s Hitmakers brunch on Saturday

Olivia Rodrigo may sneer that she’s “a perfect all-American bitch” on the opener of her album GUTS, but St. Vincent has only the sweetest words to describe her.

The indie star, 41, presented Rodrigo, 20, with the storyteller of the year award at Variety’s Hitmakers brunch on Saturday and honored her with a touching speech. In addition to praising her songwriting, the Masseducation artist shared that the best way she could describe Rodrigo was as “a precious baby angel muffin.” 

“Olivia is — how should I say it — a precious baby angel muffin,” the singer/guitarist (real name Annie Clark) said at one point during her speech. “But also if a precious baby angel muffin were also tough as nails, cool as hell and also f—ing loves The Breeders.”
