The Disney Star to Burnout Pipeline

Olivia Rodrigo just became the youngest artist to start a career with her first three singles in the top 10 on the Hot 100 chart, according to Billboard. But not many people know that she’s one of Disney Channel’s brightest stars – appearing in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.  Which makes us wonder if Olivia learned from the careers of her predecessors – Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez all starred on Disney Channel, launched their music careers with Hollywood Records, and all burned out to various degrees ranging from shocking public stunts to eating disorders and mental illness. All of this leads us to wonder, why did this happen? How can we protect Olivia Rodrigo from the same fate? And where is Disney’s responsibility in all of this? Listen to the full episode to find out!
