Olivia Rodrigo has covered Noah Kahan’s ‘Stick Season’ as part of her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge performance.

The pop singer was the first to perform as part of the station’s Live Lounge month which will see the program air a new performance every Monday through Thursday for the entirety of October.

Rodrigo took over yesterday (October 2) and played four songs against a purple, tattered haunted house-inspired backdrop at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

The setlist for her live lounge included her viral sensation ‘Drivers License‘, ‘Vampire‘, ‘Get Him Back‘ and, keeping with the tradition to perform a cover, she played a rendition of Kahan’s ‘Stick Season’.

Speaking of the return of Live Lounge Month in a press release, BBC Radio 1 hosts Rickie, Melvin and Charlie said: “We are so excited that Live Lounge Month is back and we promise this year is bigger and better than ever!! We have some of the world’s greatest Pop Stars, debut performances, and listener’s favourite artists all ready to step into the world-famous Live Lounge.”

The next artists to take over the lounge this week will be Troye Sivan on October 3, Jorja Smith on October 4 and Madison Beer on October 5. Each performance will take place at 12pm BST.

All performances from Live Lounge Month can be heard live on Radio 1 and BBC Sounds, and will be available to watch on demand on Radio 1’s BBC iPlayer and YouTube channels.

Elsewhere, Rodrigo’s second album ‘Guts’ earned a five star review from NMEwhich praised the artist as a “pop sensation” who “secures her place as a generational talent”.

In other news, the pop singer recently teamed up with Sheryl Crow for a performance of the latter’s 1996 hit ‘If It Makes You Happy’.
