Rodrigo and Crowe Discuss New Track and Grammy Museum Exhibit
Olivia Rodrigo joined filmmaker Cameron Crowe at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles for a conversation tied to her new exhibit, "The Cure Unraveled." She described the song "The Cure" as one of her favorite creations, noting that songwriting helps her clarify emotions. The exhibit, open through February 2027, features handmade props and storyboards from the music video.
The Grammy Museum installation showcases the handmade craftsmanship behind Rodrigo's "The Cure" video, including cardboard sets, yarn elements, a skeleton X-ray, hospital beds, and decaying doorways. Rodrigo noted that artists invested hundreds to a thousand hours building these tactile props, which will remain on display through February 2027 with planned expansions.
Rodrigo's conversation with Crowe also touched on her Daisy Chain Fields festival, where she closed alongside Stevie Nicks performing "Landslide." She praised Nicks' voice and songwriting, mentioning personal gestures like dog photos and a necklace. Crowe, who covered Fleetwood Mac early in his Rolling Stone career, connected their universal songwriting appeal to Rodrigo's work.
This exhibit and conversation may deepen fan engagement with Rodrigo's creative process, potentially inspiring young songwriters to view emotional clarity as a craft goal rather than a spontaneous event. The museum setting also legitimizes pop songwriting as an art form worth preserving, which could influence how cultural institutions program youth-oriented exhibitions and how emerging artists approach their own visual and lyrical storytelling.
