Summary
- Olivia Rodrigo's third album, nicknamed OR3, is highly anticipated by fans.
- Subtle hints suggest the album may be released in 2026.
- The singer has confirmed she is working on new music and experimenting with new sounds.
Olivia Rodrigo appears to be closing the chapter on her GUTS album cycle, with hints pointing toward a new studio album, internally referred to as 'OR3'. Fans and media speculate a release is imminent, possibly in 2026, based on recent clues. Rodrigo herself confirmed in October 2025 that she was working on new music.
Further fueling speculation are subtle yet significant changes, including a shift in her website's color palette from purple to red, and a new logo appearing in Los Angeles in March 2026. Her attendance at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party in a blush pink dress also aligns with a potential visual theme.
Rodrigo has indicated her upcoming music will explore themes of "sad love songs," focusing on obsession, anxiety, and yearning. She also mentioned experimenting with "new sounds," incorporating dance and orchestral elements, with the final track representing the complexities of love and self-discovery.
Recording sessions have been underway, with her producer Dan Nigro posting in February 2026 that they were "finishing records." This suggests the album is nearing completion.
