10 Photos Of Billy Joel & Olivia Rodrigo That Capture An Iconic Musical Crossover

When it comes to shout-able Olivia Rodrigo lyrics, “I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel / ‘Cause you played her ‘Uptown Girl’” from “deja vu” have to be among the best, right? Well on Aug. 24, the shout-out led to a musical crossover at Joel’s Madison Square Garden residency.

According to a fan’s video, Joel first brought Rodrigo on stage for a performance of Rodrigo’s “deja vu,” for which Joel naturally served as (duh!) Piano Man.“Thank you so much for having me, Billy. I’m such a huge fan, and I couldn’t have written this next one without you.”
