Olivia Rodrigo was among the stars at Crypto.com Arena last Friday during the Lakers’ game against the Brooklyn Nets. The pop singer sported a courtside look, rocking a black vest over a white T-shirt with a stylish black mini-skirt, white socks, and black lace-up platform loafers.
As she hails from Murrieta and was raised in Temecula, the 20-year-old was proudly supporting her hometown, the Lakers. But something happened there that made NBA fans curious.
It’s the chat between her and the Greedy singer, Tate McRae, as they eye LeBron James. The question is, what got them so focused on King James?
NBA Fans Hilariously React to Olivia Rodrigo’s Interaction with LeBron James
During the second quarter, cameras captured Olivia Rodrigo in conversation with Tate McRae while LeBron James was nearby. Now, fans wonder what the 20-year-old singer might have been discussing with her pop star friend about the four-time NBA champion.
When an X user (@BrickMuse) posted asking, “What’s Olivia Rodrigo saying about LeBron?” NBA fans responded with some humorous answers.
One fan even joked about James’ age compared to Rodrigo, who is just two years older than Bronny James (LeBron James’ son). One fan wrote Rodrigo might probably be saying, “He’s older than my grandfather.”
He's older than my grandfather

Not known what they were whispering about in a courtside chat, but the pop sensations were cheering loudly, laughing, and having the time of their lives. Despite their star power, the Lakers still faced a tough defeat against the Nets with a score of 130-112.
Olivia Rodrigo and Tate McRae’s Wholesome Friendship Goals
Olivia Rodrigo was the ultimate supportive bestie at Tate McRae’s LA concert. In an interview with Just Jared, the singer couldn’t help but gush about the experience, describing it as “so much fun” and “great.” She continued, “It was the first time I saw her perform ‘Greedy,’ which is…I just love that song, so it was it was a grand old time.”
Rodrigo and McRae, both 20, officially kicked off their friendship last year. She even featured McRae in her music video for Bad Idea, right?
The 90s/early Aughts-inspired video had Rodrigo’s real-life closest friends playing her friends in the music video. McRae told SiriusXM Hits 1 in September that Rodrigo casually asked her to be in the music video via text. And that’s how they became best of friends.
