Olivia Rodrigo won't turn her back on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, despite her soaring music career

Entertainment Weekly

"I'm feeling so grateful because I really did get my start writing songs on High School Musical — I've always been writing songs since I could like literally speak but (show creator) Tim (Federle) was the first person who really gave me my first shot at writing something that had the opportunity to be heard by a ton of people," she says. "I love making art and making music and I'm hopefully going to be doing that for the rest of my life. This year is going to be no exception to that."
