Olivia Rodrigo Performs “Vampire” on Colbert

Olivia Rodrigo took center stage on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, delivering a captivating rendition of her single “Vampire” that left the audience spellbound. The singer-songwriter, known for her raw and emotive performances, showcased a different facet of the hit song.

A Symphonic Transformation

Rodrigo’s earlier performance of “Vampire” on Saturday Night Live featured a solo piano, offering an intimate take on the track. This time, the stage was adorned with an orchestral string section, elevating the song to new heights. The singer, surrounded by a myriad of microphones, stood poised with a pianist and four string players behind her, creating an atmospheric and dramatic setting.

A Dark Aesthetic

Dressed in a striking black off-the-shoulder dress, Rodrigo embraced a dark aesthetic that complemented the eerie undertones of “Vampire.” Mist enveloped the stage, adding an element of mystery to the performance. The tall microphone stands served as both a visual and symbolic element, emphasizing the song’s haunting melody.

Rodrigo’s Creative Process

Reflecting on the writing process for “Vampire,” Rodrigo shared insights during a recent NPR Tiny Desk session. She revealed that the initial idea for the song came together swiftly, taking only 20 or 30 minutes. However, Rodrigo and her producer dedicated considerable time to refining the details, meticulously perfecting elements like BPM, chord voicings, and lyrics. The result is a song that Rodrigo is immensely proud of, and this pride was evident in her recent Late Show performance.

Watch the Eerie Performance

As Rodrigo took command of the stage, her vocals soared over the orchestral arrangement, demonstrating her versatility as an artist. The haunting melody and Rodrigo’s emotive delivery left an indelible impression on the audience. 

In the realm of late-night performances, Olivia Rodrigo continues to shine, bringing a unique and enchanting quality to each rendition of her songs. Stay tuned for more updates on Rodrigo’s musical journey, where each performance promises a new dimension to her ever-evolving artistry.
