Rodrigo and Gray first appeared on social media together in March 2021, following the release of Taylor Swift's rerecorded song "You All Over Me" off "Fearless." The two revealed their love for the award-winning singer in an Instagram post, with Rodrigo writing, "Conan and Olivia listening to 'you all over me' but it's a renaissance painting."
Touching on her friendship with Gray, Rodrigo told Capital FM on March 18, 2021, "Conan's a friend of mine, and the guy who produces most of my music produces most of his. We're just pals and I think he's so brilliant."
