Olivia Rodrigo spotted going for a sweet treat in Cork city ahead of Irish tour dates

Olivia Rodrigo was spotted heading for a sweet treat in Cork ahead of her two Irish tour dates this week.

The pop star was seen browsing in Brown Thomas in the city centre on Tuesday before she popped into Gino's Gelato for a crepe.

Olivia was wearing a black baseball cap and a black face mask but was still recognised by one lucky fan.

Aoibh Carroll, who bumped into Olivia, recounted the story on TikTok in a clip that has now been viewed over 170k times.

She took to the app to tell the story of how she met the singer right in the heart of the city.

In the video, Aoibh says: "She was in Brown Thomas and I saw her walking out the door, and you know when you're looking at someone and you're like, that's Olivia Rodrigo?

"She went outside Brown Thomas and she went into Gino's. And I was like, 'There's no way I'm letting this opportunity pass me, that's Olivia Rodrigo!'

"So I went out the door and followed her into Gino's and I was like 'Olivia?', she was like 'Hello'.

"I was like, 'Sorry this is really weird but I just wanted to say hi!"

The friendly popstar was more than happy to chat while she waited for her crepe to be prepared and asked Aoibh what her name was then introduced herself as if her identify wasn't already known.

Aoibh joked about how she already knew who she was talking to before asking for a photo.

"So I got a picture with her," she said. "This week in Cork has been the best week of my life!"

The 19-year-old took to the stage at Live at the Marquee in Cork on Wednesday night and is set to play for thousands more at Fairview Park in Dublin on Thursday night.
