Theory of stardom

Today in class we studied theory of stardom by Richard Dyer.  Here are my classroom notes about the celebrity Olivia Rodrigo which will help me in my media project as I need to create a persona for my artist. I did this work with my team mate Jocelyn (Jocy).  



Names:

Jocy and Sharon

Celebrity:

Olivia Rodrigo

REEL persona:

Instagram page - a lot of tour/concert pictures, her outfits (dresses, flashy outfits), awards, magazines, tour ads, but she isn’t all serious, she's still playful and goofy on stage

REAL persona:

Behind the scenes in her music videos - she’s very playful, cheerful, smiley, not as serious as her sad/angsty songs make her appear to be, 

Love:

Paparazzi of her with louis partridge (going on dates, walking around, smiling) all over the news.

Ordinariness:

Her reel and real sides are similar, she's a really authentic person and isn’t afraid to show her silly goofy side which makes her fans connect with her more as it makes her relatable. 

Success:

Olivia Rodrigo’s career had a breakout when she was playing as an actress in high school musical drama where wrote “All i want” and “just for a moment” which made her gain attention not only as an actress but also as a songwriter. Then she released “Drivers license” which led to the release of her album “SOUR” and her career as a songwriter took off from there. 

Consumption:

As Olivia Rodrigo is a pretty simple person, she is known for ground lifestyle which sets her apart from other celebrities who are involved in extreme diets or luxury. 

Dream turned sour:

Olivia rodrigo has faced accusations of her songs in “SOUR” however she immediately credited the artist which she is accused of copying and preserved her media. However she never had a lashing downfall as she addresses problems quickly.
