Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo shared her experience filming the music video for her Billboard Hot 100-topping single "Drop Dead" at the Palace of Versailles. The Grammy winner revealed during a radio appearance that shooting the visual overnight in the iconic museum left her with a sense of unease.
Rodrigo stated that she "definitely" sensed a paranormal presence, describing the experience as "scary" and "creepy." She expressed a personal belief in ghosts, humorously suggesting that Versailles would be a prime location for them to haunt. The visual for "Drop Dead," which premiered in April, features the singer within the palace's grand interiors.
The choice of Versailles was directly influenced by the song's lyrics, which include a reference to "the walls of Versailles." Rodrigo admitted that filming at such a prestigious location was a "pipe dream" that she never imagined becoming a reality. "Drop Dead" is the lead single from her third album, "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love," released on June 12.
