Olivia Rodrigo on the cover of Clash, August 2021.

Olivia Rodrigo covers the latest issue of Clash magazine, as photographed by Lindsay Ellary, and styled by Tess Herbert and Jade Forrest Marks.

I'm never the type of person who's like, ‘Oh, it's the girl's fault that this guy did something wrong to me. It's never made sense logically in my head, and I don't subscribe to that mindset."
