Olivia Rodrigo has updated her website with a cryptic teaser ahead of the five-year anniversary of her breakout single 'Drivers License.' The faux driver's license form hints at an event on January 8, 2026, prompting fans to submit emails for updates. This comes amid growing anticipation for her next album following Guts.
On January 5, 2026, Olivia Rodrigo altered her official website to feature a submission form styled as a driver's license renewal application from the fictional 'Department of Driving Home 2 U.' The form encourages fans to provide their email addresses for future updates and includes 'appointment information' teasing an occurrence at 9 a.m. PT on January 8—precisely five years after 'Drivers License' debuted on January 8, 2021.
The virtual document also nods to Rodrigo's debut album Sour with a 'file number' of '05212021,' referencing its May 21, 2021, release date. Billboard has contacted Rodrigo's representatives for further details, but no additional information was immediately available.
'Drivers License' propelled the California native to superstardom, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and holding the top spot for eight weeks. It earned Rodrigo a Grammy for best pop solo performance in 2022, alongside best pop vocal album for Sour, which topped the Billboard 200 for five weeks. Her follow-up single 'Good 4 U' also reached No. 1 that May.
Since releasing Guts in 2023, Rodrigo has not issued new studio tracks beyond five additions to its deluxe edition in March 2024. She put out a live album, Live from Glastonbury (A BBC Recording), on December 5. During her Guts World Tour in 2024, Rodrigo shared with Billboard, 'Writing songs is really therapeutic for me, so I’m always noodling around making stuff even when I’m not in the studio making an album. I’m trying not to put too much pressure on anything right now.'
Anticipation for her third album, informally dubbed OR3, has built through subtle hints, including Rodrigo distributing G-U-T-S rings at her tour's final show, signaling the era's end. In a recent Nylon interview, she mentioned 'having a lot of fun dreaming things up' for a 'busy year' in 2026, fueling speculation that new material is imminent.
