Despite gaining popularity for her track about getting her driver’s license, the star previously admitted that it actually took herfour attemptsto pass her driving test.

In a Marchinterview withPopCrush Nightswith hosts Kayla Thomas and Nicole Murray, the musician told the hilarious story about the roundabout way she took to get herself on the road.

Rodrigo’s first attempt at getting her license was canceled due to COVID-19, her second was deterred because of her filming schedule forHigh School Musical The Musical: The Seriesand her third did not prove successful either.

That’s when it was discovered that her mom’s car horn was not working and the test administrator deemed the vehicle legally unsafe.

“I go to honk it and the horn doesn’t work on my mom’s car,” she recalled.

Luckily for Rodrigo, her fourth test went well and she was able to secure her driver’s license.

Later in her interview withPopCrush Nights, the hosts told the star that she was being dubbed the “It Girl” of the year — and the Disney actress reacted modestly.
