What Is Going on With Olivia Rodrigo and Courtney Love?

It’s a great time to learn about copyright law!

Olivia Rodrigo has been at the top of pop music since nearly the beginning of the year. First there was “Drivers License,” Ms. Rodrigo’s runaway hit single, which inspired a viral TikTok challenge and topped the Billboard Hot 100 list for eight straight weeks. Then came “Sour,” her debut album, released in May to critical acclaim. Just last night an associated concert film, “Sour Prom,” began streaming on YouTube. But last week, while promoting the film, Ms. Rodrigo, an 18-year-old former Disney star, hit one of the first public roadblocks of her breakout year: She was singled out by Courtney Love for a photograph promoting “Sour Prom.”
