“That was really cool. We had a great time. I was surrounded by 20,000 teenagers screaming very, very loud, but Ella had the time of her life. She got to meet Olivia after, and she was so nice to my daughter. She was so humble, so connected, and it’s definitely a day that we won’t forget for a long time,”
said Rodriguez.
