Olivia Rodrigo is facing a social media backlash over her recent wardrobe choices, with critics accusing her PR team of using Taylor Swift to 'clean up' the narrative.
The controversy peaked on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, following a Spotify Billions Club performance in Barcelona, where Rodrigo sported a Génération78 babydoll micro-dress and bloomers. While the singer defended the look as a nod to 90s 'riot grrrl' punk, a segment of the internet has branded the aesthetic 'infantilising' and 'problematic.'
