As she hails from Murrieta and was raised in Temecula, the 20-year-old was proudly supporting her hometown, the Lakers. But something happened there that made NBA fans curious.

It’s the chat between her and the Greedy singer, Tate McRae, as they eye LeBron James. The question is, what got them so focused on King James?

During the second quarter, cameras captured Olivia Rodrigo in conversation with Tate McRae while LeBron James was nearby. Now, fans wonder what the 20-year-old singer might have been discussing with her pop star friend about the four-time NBA champion.

When an X user (@BrickMuse) posted asking, “What’s Olivia Rodrigo saying about LeBron?” NBA fans responded with some humorous answers.

One fan even joked about James’ age compared to Rodrigo, who is just two years older than Bronny James (LeBron James’ son). One fan wrote Rodrigo might probably be saying, “He’s older than my grandfather.”

Olivia Rodrigo and Tate McRae’s Wholesome Friendship Goals

Olivia Rodrigo was the ultimate supportive bestie at Tate McRae’s LA concert. In an interview with Just Jared, the singer couldn’t help but gush about the experience, describing it as “so much fun” and “great.”  She continued, “It was the first time I saw her perform ‘Greedy,’ which is…I just love that song, so it was it was a grand old time.”

The 90s/early Aughts-inspired video had Rodrigo’s real-life closest friends playing her friends in the music video. McRae told SiriusXM Hits 1 in September that Rodrigo casually asked her to be in the music video via text. And that’s how they became best of friends.
