Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett are two of the buzziest musicians in the world right now. But their true followers have been watching their showbiz careers bloom since 2019 on their Disney+ series, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, on which they star as Nini Salazar-Roberts and Ricky Bowen (respectively). As fans know, Rodrigo and Bassett’s recent solo releases have caused a bit of drama, which makes looking back at these videos of Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett singing in HSMTMTS all the more interesting. High School Musical: The Musical: The Series kicked off at the end of 2019 as one of the first Disney+ original shows. Set in a fictional version of East High, the school where the High School Musical movies were filmed, the mockumentary-style show centers on exes, Nini and Ricky, who are cast as the leads in the school’s stage production of HSM. Fans of the show became so invested in Rodrigo and Bassett’s on-screen chemistry that many became convinced they were an item IRL, although the two never confirmed these rumors. At the beginning of 2021, Rodrigo released her single « Drivers License, » which fans speculated was about Bassett moving on with actor and singer Sabrina Carpenter, who had recently begun appearing in several of his TikTok videos.
