As Rodrigo, 20, caught up withVarietyat the Academy’sGovernors Awardsin Los Angeles on Tuesday, the “Get Him Back” singer addressed the “million-dollar question” of when she might act in film or television again.

“Maybe I am of age already, I don’t know,” Rodrigo, who turns 21 on Feb. 20, added. “I just love telling stories, whether that be in a song or a movie, it’s just something that really excites me.”
