On 21st May, the 19-year-old singer-songwriter — Billboard's ‘Woman of the Year’ for 2022 — took to social media to mark the one-year anniversary of her first album, 'Sour', which was released last May through Geffen Records/Interscope Geffen A&M.
The singer's post contained a gallery of photos and videos from the previous year, including images of her scribbled lyrics, a photo of her many Grammys, a screenshot of a text message and more. Dan Nigro, who co-wrote and produced her breakout single ‘Drivers License,’ was also appreciated.
