Olivia Rodrigo has confirmed she's back in the studio crafting her third album, following the success of SOUR and GUTS. Fans are buzzing over recent hints, including a subtle Instagram post from producer Dan Nigro. While no release date is set, speculation points to a possible 2026 drop.
Oh, darlings, the pop princess is at it again! Olivia Rodrigo, the Grammy darling born February 20, 2003, spilled the tea in an October 2025 American Express promo video: “Now I’m home, and I’m working on my new album.” 💅 After dominating with SOUR and GUTS—her last full-length dropped September 8, 2023—the GUTS era kept rolling with a deluxe edition in March 2024 and the world tour wrapping mid-2025.
Hints have been dropping like mic stands at a concert. Back on August 3, 2025, at her final GUTS tour stop at Osheaga in Montreal, she strutted onstage in a red shirt emblazoned with a rhinestone “3”—talk about serving era cues! Then, on August 11, 2025, her fan newsletter teased “y3t to come,” leaving stans in a frenzy over OR3.
Fast-forward to now: No singles, no tracklist, no official timeline yet. But in an October 2025 interview, Olivia called 2026 a “busy year” creatively—eyes emoji for that potential release window. She skipped the 2026 Grammys in early February, citing no new music in the eligibility period. And the real kicker? On February 24, 2026, longtime producer Dan Nigro posted a studio snap with her on Instagram, captioned “Finishing records…”. Fans are losing it, convinced OR3 is imminent—shoutout to that Cosmopolitan piece via WeSmirch for clocking the vibe.
On the personal front, Olivia was linked to actor Louis Partridge in late 2023, but reports say they quietly parted ways—no messy details from either side. So, is OR3 about to gut-punch our hearts with more heartbreak anthems, or what? Spill more, queen!
