Published

Olivia Rodrigo's celebrating the fifth anniversary of her debut record "Sour's" release in a big way ... by bringing in Talking Heads frontman David Byrne to record a cover version of "Drivers License"!

The hitmaker dropped the rendition of the track today, and she announced there will be more covers of songs from "Sour" coming out soon on Instagram.

FYI ... "Drivers License" dropped in January 2021, and "Sour" came out four months later -- and Olivia took home several Grammy Awards for her work on the album.

Olivia added David is "nothing short of a legend" and wrote she "actually cried" when she listened to his version of her song for the first time ... which is high praise for someone who's racked up a couple billion streams on Spotify!

What's more ... she's going to be releasing a 7-inch vinyl of the cover -- which will include their cover of the Talking Heads song "Burning Down The House," which they performed during the 2025 Governors Ball music festival.

And in case you can't believe what you just read, Olivia shared a video showing her rehearsing the track with David prior to the festival.

Sure, Olivia and David might be an odd couple, but we're super stoked about the cover ... it'd be pretty cool if Olivia covered "Once In A Lifetime"!

The final Friday night of "TMZ After Dark" in 2025 turned into an unforgettable, intimate pop moment when hitmaker Paula DeAnda stepped onto the bus for hosting duties ... and immediately began singing “Walk Away” -- no greeting, no buildup, just raw vocals!

What followed was nearly two hours of stripped-down, close-up performances that felt more like a private concert than a nightlife tour ... and a digital billboard featuring her song and music video even followed the bus through Hollywood, adding to the surreal experience.

Paula took us to three bars, where the whole bus got free shots -- and then some! The first was Power House, an iconic dive bar on Hollywood Blvd that gives us pickleback shots ... followed by Beaches Tropicana, which was like a big WeHo rave ... and then Saddle Ranch Chop House, which -- on top of our free shots -- gave all the "TMZ After Dark" passengers QUESADILLAS!

During her interview, DeAnda opened up about her New Year’s resolutions, shared how much fun she was having, and confirmed she’ll be coming back for a future 'After Dark' and brunch tour. The spontaneous performance, candid moments, and surprise return announcement made the night a standout and a perfect way to kick off the final 'After Dark' weekend of 2025.
