Also speaking about her followers, she admitted her online popularity may have slightly dwindled since she met Taylor in the flesh back in December.  

'When all the articles were coming out and that it was close to 48,000 and then it's slowly sort of gone a little bit down when people have settled down and gone like "Oh she's actually a human",' she explained.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Olivia admits she is recognised almost anywhere she goes, and being stopped by strangers is an aspect of her new-found fame she has learnt to deal with.

'As pretentious as that totally sound, it's sort of something that I deal with now,' Olivia told Daily Mail Australia, before explaining there are some days she 'really can't be bothered to have people take photos of me', and therefore she dresses down accordingly. 

'If I can’t be bothered to deal with that, I sort of dress down, tie my hair up, and I’ll try and wear flats and jeans,' she explained.

Olivia, who uses the hashtag '#NoItsLiv' with her Instagram photos to distinguish herself from the singing superstar, has also generated quite the social media following.

And it's not just other eager Swift fans who have taken notice of the Australian teenager, with Olivia revealing she has been approached by modelling scouts, and is in negotiations with a digital agency.   

'I’m thinking about maybe doing some covers. I’m not sure if I’ll do Taylor songs or not because I’m sort of scared of the harsh comparison between us,' she said.

'I can sing but I can't sing the same as Taylor obviously and our ranges are completely different. I’ve got such a limited range compared to her.' 

Meanwhile singing is not even the only aspect of showbusiness that Olivia would like to pursue, revealing acting is another area of interest.

'Hopefully the big screen, that would be a dream come true,' she reflected on her dream of making it to Hollywood in five years' time.

'I’d love to go to America and really pursue it but I really want to learn the craft. I really want to learn as much about it as possible and possibly do a course in it,' she added.

Also revealing more immediate travel plans to suss out where interest lies, she said: 'This year I’m planning to go to Thailand and Singapore - just a smaller trip before I go on an extended trip of the UK and America'.
