'This Is the New Lyric': Olivia Rodrigo Responds to Fan Whose Tattoo Typo Went Viral

Olivia Rodrigo is trying to help a fan feel better about their tattoo mishap!

On May 7, the singer, 21, left a comment under fan Grace Flemming’s TikTok video after Flemming revealed that she had asked for a tattoo of Rodrigo’s “Hope Ur Ok” song lyric,“address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings” on her wrist, but later discovered it read “butter wings” instead of "butterfly wings."

“HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH OMG THIS IS THE NEW LYRIC IM CHANGING IT TO BUTTERWINGS,” Rodrigo commented.

Speaking about the "Drivers License" singer’s comment to Today, Flemming, 20, said she couldn’t believe Rodrigo saw her video and responded, adding that she’s now unsure if she’ll accept the tattoo artist’s offer to correct the mistake.

“Not changing it definitely makes it more unique and special. I kind of want to keep it, but also want to get the right lyrics,” she said. “Maybe I’ll keep this one, and get the right lyrics somewhere else.”

Opening up about what the lyric meant to her, the Colorado native, who got the tattoo in April, continued, “Everybody already has their own wounds or holes. So I take the (line), ‘Address the letters to the holes of my butterfly wings,’ (to say) if somebody’s gonna say something mean, they can say it to me. But, it’s just gonna go through me -

Meanwhile, Flemming told PEOPLE earlier this month that it was her boyfriend who made her aware of the typo after she sent him a picture of the inking.

“Did you take out the fly?,” he said via text message in response to the picture.

"I was just so shocked!" says Flemming told PEOPLE. "How did I not notice that?"

Despite the error, the music fan revealed that she was filled with humor when looking back at the moment, explaining she laughed about it with friends and family.

"I have been a fan of Olivia since 2015! I loved American Girl dolls, and Olivia starred in an American Girl doll movie about the doll named Grace. And ever since then, I’ve followed her in her journey," she said.

"She is such an inspiration to me and I admire her so much. I hope one day she’ll see this tattoo and laugh about it," Flemming told PEOPLE at the time.
