HuffPost
The pop superstar said law enforcement at border control thought she was someone else and took her to an interrogation room for 30 minutes.
Olivia Rodrigo says she had a scary encounter with law enforcement at the border when returning to the U.S. from Canada during her Guts World Tour.
Chatting to Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show,” the singer-songwriter said she was intercepted at border control after handing over her passport to be checked.
“They knock on the door, and they’re like, ‘We need Olivia.’ And I’m like, I just played a few shows, maybe, like, their daughter wants an autograph,” she said.
“And I come out. It’s 3 a.m., and I’m delirious, and they take me to a room, and it’s an interrogation room, and there’s like a big cop with like a gun. And he’s like, ‘Have you ever been arrested?’ I’m like, ‘No, I haven’t been arrested,’” Rodrigo continued.
“He’s like, ‘Are you sure?’” she went on, adding that she was told she could “go to jail for lying to a federal officer.”
