Cosmopolitan’s most recent summer cover star Olivia Rodrigo dropped her highly anticipated third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, last Friday. Luckily for Cosmo staffers and our readers who are all avid Olivia Rodrigo fans, she became our first-ever global cover star. We’ve been along for the ride with her as she prepared to release her album, so, naturally, we threw an amazing listening party in her honor when the release day finally came.

Up a flight of stairs off of Bowery street lies Silence Please. Part listening lounge, part Japanese tea room, Silence Please reflects the interplay between audio, design, and contemporary culture where the speakers double as art and the interior invites connection and creation (have you seen the custom, 10-foot acoustic horn speaker they built for the Adidas Originals SoHo flagship store?) Cosmo takes all things Olivia Rodrigo very seriously, so we shut down Silence Please last Friday night to listen to her new album on the highest-quality sound system we could find.

Guests inevitably made their way to the bar tucked behind the vinyl record selection and rack of custom-embroidered Adidas Originals track jackets. On the menu was Avaline wine from Cameron Diaz’s vineyard (prosecco, rosé, and red), dirty martinis (extra extra dirty), and the most-ordered drink of the night, Empress 1908 Gin Crimson Cosmos. Bartenders Ethan and Leslie from Cotton Sky Events chatted with guests all night as they kept the wine and cocktails flowing. Maybe it was the drinks or maybe it was the company behind the bar, but everyone circled back for more.

The room was filled with everyone from Cosmopolitan and Seventeen editor-in-chief Willa Bennett to Too Hot to Handle’s Georgia Hassarati. Content creator and actor Meg Deangelis, actor and producer Violet Savage, model Bella Fernandes, and artist Amanda Zheng all made appearances as well. Fittingly, Olivia’s album photographer, Chad Moore, came too. Some groups chatted at the communal tables, others listened intently on the leather couches, and there may have been a few make-outs—all while listening to you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love for the first time. Her music, one guest reflected, perfectly captures how it feels to move from girlhood into adulthood. We couldn’t agree more.
