Olivia Rodrigo will induct alternative rock icon Alanis Morissette into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame at the September 24 ceremony at Toronto’s Massey Hall. The event will be hosted by singer-songwriter Marie-Mai, and will also celebrate Bryan Adams, Jim Vallance, David Foster, and Daniel Lavoie as inductees. The ceremony, broadcast by SiriusXM, will also feature tribute performances by Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake, Alessia Cara, and Ruby Waters, among others.
In a statement to Exclaim!, Rodrigo mused on Morissette’s impact on her career. “I remember hearing Alanis for the first time when I was about 13,” she said. “I was in the car with my parents when Jagged Little Pill came on. I heard ‘Perfect,’ I was like, ‘Oh, my God…. You can write songs like that?’ I just looked at music and songwriting in a completely different way.”
