Olivia Rodrigo Gets Bloody as She Tells Off a ‘Fame F—er’ in Video for New Single ‘Vampire’
Olivia Rodrigo gets bloody in the music video for her new single “Vampire,” a gothic, piano-centric track that tells off a certain “fame fucker.” The first single from her forthcoming sophomore album “Guts,” “Vampire” begins as a ballad with Rodrigo singing in an ethereal field of flowers. As the song ramps up to the chorus, Rodrigo’s vocals increase in power, singing in her signature belt: “Bloodsucker, fame fucker/ Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire.” The Petra Collins-directed music video then sees Rodrigo get hit by a falling light — which also triggers a tempo switch — as it’s revealed that she is actually performing on stage at an awards show. Suffering from a nasty cut to her shoulder, Rodrigo continues to put on a show as the beat drives on, smearing the blood across her face and white dress in the process.
