Olivia Rodrigo is receiving high praise for walking the Grammys 2022 red carpet with a sign language interpreter on Sunday.

“Olivia Rodrigo bringing a sign language interpreter for her interviews ?? we stan an inclusive queen #GRAMMYs,” tweeted one fan, with another adding, “I could cry watching @oliviarodrigo talking on the Red Carpet and having a sign language interpreter with her.”

Even “Coda” star Marlee Matlin thanked the “Drivers License” singer, 19, on social media for the move.

“Thank you ⁦@oliviarodrigo for having an ASL interpreter with you on the red carpet! You ROCK! ????,” she wrote Sunday.

Rodrigo smiled for the fans and her industry peers on the red carpet in a black sheath gown with a pink trompe l’oeil silhouette from Vivienne Westwood, along with matching gloves.

She also performed during the ceremony.

Rodrigo has previously spoken of feeling unsure of herself early in her career, revealing that she once believed only white girls could be recognized as true pop stars.

“I sometimes get DMs from little girls being like, ‘I’ve never seen someone who looked like me in your position.’ And I’m literally going to cry, like, just thinking about it,” the Filipino-American star said in the V Magazine feature last fall.

“I feel like I grew up never seeing that. Also, it was always like, ‘Pop star,’ that’s a white girl.”
