Annie MacManus and Nick Grimshaw dissect Olivia Rodrigo’s new album and analyse the online theories that Taylor Swift might be jealous.

Elsewhere, Phoebe Bridgers is planning for her next tour to be a phones free experience – does the discourse that ensued prove how problematic our relationships to our phones are?

Plus, Nick’s mum is worried about Harry Styles, footballers are younger than people realise, and Jeff Goldblum finally weighs in on the bird song debate.

Get in touch with Annie and Nick! You can send a WhatsApp to 07970082700 or email sidetracked@bbc.co.uk
