Olivia Rodrigo’s Surprise Hitchhike Turns Boring School Run Of Jimmy Kimmel’s Kids Into An Unforgettable Moment

How do you feel if you’re driving and your idol appears as a hitchhiker? It must be such an unexpected and surreal experience that you wouldn’t forget it for the rest of your life, wouldn’t it? It was exactly what happened to Jimmy Kimmel’s adorable kids as they met their favorite singer in their car.

When Olivia Rodrigo showed up on Jimmy Kimmel, it was a total surprise. She hitched a ride with the Kimmel family on their way to school. Kimmel’s nine-year-old daughter Jane and six-year-old son Billy are big fans of Rodrigo’s music and often listen to her song on the way to school. That’s why this unexpected appearance totally shocked them.

When Kimmel and his wife picked up Rodrigo, Jane couldn’t believe her eyes. She whispered, “oh my God” and covered her face with her hands. Rodrigo, full of energy, hopped into the back seat between Jane and Billy. She tried to chat with Jane, but Jane was too star-struck to talk. She just mumbled and kept her hands over her face. After Jane calmed down, it was time for some carpool karaoke with Rodrigo. It was a fun and unexpected moment for everyone involved.

This moment was shared on YouTube and quickly got much attention. Within 6 months, it has garnered 4.3 million views.

When Kimmel mentioned they listen to Rodrigo’s songs on their way to school, the singer thanked him warmly. She then asked Jane, Kimmel’s daughter, about her favorite tune, which turned out to be “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” from Rodrigo’s 2023 album Guts. Rodrigo told her, “That’s one of my favorites too – that’s so sweet.”

The family then started a sing-along of “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl,” with Rodrigo and Jane belting out the lyrics together. It was a heartwarming moment, showing the bond between the singer and the Kimmel family.
