Putting her pain into song? Fans are speculating whether or not Olivia Rodrigo‘s first single, “Vampire,” from her upcoming second album Guts is about ex-boyfriend Adam Faze. Keep reading for details on their romance, clues in the song about their split and what he does for a living.
How Long Did Olivia Rodrigo Date Adam Faze?
The duo was spotted packing on the PDA at the Space Jam 2 premiere party in Los Angeles on June 29, 2021. “They were really cute together and weren’t trying to hide their affection at all,” a source revealed to E!, adding that Olivia introduced Adam as her “boyfriend.”
According to the insider, the Sour artist and the writer “met through industry friends” in the spring of 2021. “She seems really happy with him, and they are definitely dating exclusively and getting serious,” the inside added.
The pair didn’t spend the following New Year’s together and there was speculation they had split when Olivia told British Vogue in an article published on December 30, 2021, about the best way to get over a breakup. “Besides cutting off all contact, I think it’s important to not only forgive them, but forgive yourself for letting everything happen. That’s what I’ve learned,” she told the publication.
Is Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Vampire’ About Adam Faze?
She makes several references to the age difference between herself and an ex in the song, while singing about a “bloodsucker” who is using her for cloud. Fans took to Twitter to point out various lyrics that point to the song being about Adam.
“Went for me and not her cuz girls your age know better,” Olivia sings, which could be referring to the pair’s six-year age gap. She also hints at the duration of their relationship when singing a lyric about “six months of torture.”
One fan pointed out the curious timing of the song’s release. “Thats crazy that Olivia Rodrigo and Adam Faze were ‘confirmed’ official on June 29th 2 years ago at the Space Jam event at Universal and she released ‘Vampire’ today on JUNE 29TH,” the person tweeted.
When Did Adam Faze and Olivia Rodrigo Meet?
According to the insider, the Sour artist and the writer “met through industry friends” in the spring of 2021. “She seems really happy with him and they are definitely dating exclusively and getting serious,” a source told E!.
What Does Adam Faze Do For a Living?
Adam is a producer of movies, television and music videos. He has also worked as an editorial contributor for Forbes magazine. He launched his own television company called FazeWorld in March 2023.
Additionally, Adam and business partner Jamie Dolan launched a production company called Must B Nice in 2020. “We look forward to embracing that change and working with a new generation of storytellers to push the boundary of what stories are told and how they’re distributed,” he told Deadline in March of that year.
Is Adam Faze on Social Media?
Yes, but unfortunately, Adam’s Instagram account is private. As of June 2023, Olivia does not follow anyone on the social media platform, although she was a follower of Adam when they dated.
Prior to Adam, Olivia was rumored to be dating her High School Musical: The Musical: The Series costar Joshua Bassett. In fact, fans were convinced Olivia’s hit single “Driver’s License” was about the pair’s relationship and subsequent breakup.
“I totally understand people’s curiosity with the specifics of who the song’s about and what it’s about, but to me, that’s really the least important part of the song. It’s resonating with people because of how emotional it is, and I think everything else is not important,” the California native explained during a January interview with Billboard.
“To see it do really well — to have this really painful moment in my life and turn it into something beautiful that can maybe help people through a tough time that they’re having, like I was having a tough time — it’s just so empowering,” Olivia added.
Even so, listeners continue to speculate that the “blonde girl” she references in “Driver’s License” is Sabrina Carpenter. Joshua and Sabrina, 22, ignited romance rumors shortly before the track dropped.
“I think we’ve met once or twice in passing, but I’ve never had a conversation with her, so I don’t think I could write a song that was meaningful or emotional about somebody that I don’t know,” Olivia clapped back in a March 2021 interview with Radio.com.
