If you mentioned in 2019 (and even 2020 for that matter) that Billy Joel would welcome Olivia Rodrigo onstage at considered one of his sold-out Madison Square Garden exhibits in New York City, individuals would have been…confused. Yet right here we’re in 2022 and that’s precisely what occurred.
At Joel’s 82nd consecutive present at the World’s Most Famous Arena, Rodrigo joined the Piano Man.
“Hey, guys! Thank you so much for having me, Billy. I’m such a huge fan, and I kind of wrote this next song about you,” Rodrigo mentioned after taking the stage.
Together, they performed a model of Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu” and Joel’s “Uptown Girl.” On “Deja Vu,” Rodrigo references “Uptown Girl” so all of it comes full circle.
“Deja Vu” was the second single from Rodrigo’s debut album Sour, and landed at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
