In July of 2020, Joshua Bassett–of Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series fame–released his second single “Anyone Else,” to promote of upcoming EP. Despite the 20-Year old star going shirtless and wet in the video, it did not get a massive buzz. With his latest release; however, he has been getting a lot of attention.
On January 14, 2021, he released the lead single and video for his EP “Lie, Lie, Lie.” This is getting buzz because it was rumored all over the internet that it was a response to Olivia Rodrigo’s massive hit “drivers license,” which is set to debut #1 on this week’s Hot 100.
Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett co-stared together on Disney’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. I don’t know that much about the insinuated romantic history. I have not followed the show or their careers up until now. Never-the-less, it looks like we have two of 2021’s breakout stars on the horizon.
Oliva is undoubtedly about to become a household name. Can the same happen for Joshua Bassett.
