Olivia Rodrigo Meets Pesto The Baby Penguin In Melbourne, Australia

Buy Me A Coffee

The Guts World Tour just took an adorable detour—straight into penguin territory. That’s right, Olivia Rodrigo made a pit stop at the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium while touring in Australia, and there she met her newest best friend: Pesto the Penguin, a 46-pound waddling superstar who’s already living rent-free in everyone’s hearts.

Olivia Meets the Feathery King 👑
Now, when you’re Olivia Rodrigo, you don’t just meet regular animals—you go straight for the aquatic royalty. Pesto, the giant baby king penguin (who is basically the penguin equivalent of Godzilla in a tuxedo), became an instant sensation. This baby is only 10 months old, but he’s already bulked up to 46 pounds, making his parents look like side characters in his origin story. Clearly, someone’s been sneaking extra fish sticks at dinner.

The Encounter of the Century 🐧✨
Olivia even shared a TikTok moment from the visit, set to audio from @BlameItOnKway. The video goes like this:

Pesto: “Who are you?”
Olivia: “I’m Pam, who are you?”
Pesto: “I’m the owner of this house.”

Honestly, Pesto didn’t just meet Olivia Rodrigo—he checked her at the door. Sir Pesto runs a tight ship and doesn’t have time for any of that casual visitor energy, okay? You’re in his kingdom now, pop star.

Pesto: The Real Headliner 🎤
Sea Life Melbourne was clearly thrilled about this high-profile hangout, posting:
“Thanks for the visit, Olivia! Pesto loved meeting another super fan 🐧 Good luck with the rest of your Melbourne shows!”

You heard that right—Pesto isn’t just Olivia’s new bestie, he’s a fanboy in feathers. If he could’ve asked for a backstage pass, he probably would’ve waddled right into her dressing room like, “Driver’s License? More like Swimmer’s License, am I right?”

Instagram Chronicles 📸
Olivia also blessed her Instagram Stories with two pics from the visit. While the exact details of these photos are unclear, we’re pretty sure it’s just Olivia looking amazed and Pesto gazing into the distance, probably plotting how to replace her on stage. (“How hard can holding a mic be if I already own a house?” – Pesto, probably.)

The Heaviest Chick Around
According to the aquarium, Pesto isn’t just any penguin—he’s the largest chick the aquarium has ever raised, and he’s already outgrowing his parents like a teenager who discovered protein shakes. Honestly, the only thing more impressive than Pesto’s size is his attitude. He’s the penguin equivalent of a kid who skipped a grade and now thinks he knows everything.

Olivia Rodrigo and Pesto the Penguin—a duo we didn’t know we needed, but now can’t live without. Let’s just hope Pesto doesn’t ask to open for her at the next concert. Or worse, demand royalties.
