Posted on October 12, 2024 by News Desk

During her recent trip to Australia, pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo had an adorable encounter with a local celebrity: Pesto the penguin. Visiting Sea Life Melbourne, the 21-year-old singer shared a TikTok video of her sweet interaction with the fluffy chick, whom she affectionately dubbed “the owner of this house.” In the clip, Olivia lip-syncs to a popular audio and serenades Pesto with, “He’s just a little baby,” before wishing for good luck for her upcoming show.
Pesto, a sizable 22.5 kg baby penguin, has become quite the star, previously meeting Katy Perry when she visited Australia.
Aside from penguin pals, Olivia has embraced Australian culture. In another TikTok, she tried the beloved Tim Tams, saying, “First time in Australia omg I get the Tim Tam hype.” The video has racked up over 5.6 million views, with Olivia humorously demanding, “Spectacular, give me 14 of ’em right now!” while surrounded by packets of the treat.
Currently, Olivia is performing in Melbourne, with her last show set for October 14, before heading to Sydney for a series of sold-out performances from October 17 to 22.
