Olivia Rodrigo is officially entering a brand new era. The Grammy-winning pop star has dominated the charts with SOUR and GUTS, and after wrapping her massive GUTS World Tour in 2025, fans have been eagerly waiting to see what comes next — specifically along with her third album, long nicknamed “OR3” by fans.
In April 2026, Olivia kicked off her next chapter with latest music, including her lead single “Drop Dead,” while also confirming details about her highly anticipated third album. She followed it up with the discharge of “The Cure” together with its music video in May 2026.
Here’s every thing we all know thus far about Olivia’s next record, including the discharge date, the tracklist and the most recent updates surrounding her profession and private life.
Is Olivia Rodrigo Releasing a Third Album?
Yes. Olivia confirmed she was working on her third studio album in October 2025, when she said in an American Express promo video, “Now I’m home, and I’m working on my latest album.”
Hints began even earlier. On August 3, 2025, at her final GUTS World Tour festival stop at Osheaga in Montreal, she walked onstage wearing a red shirt with a rhinestone “3,” signaling to fans that a brand new era had begun. Days later, on August 11, 2025, she referenced “y3t to come back” in a fan newsletter, further fueling speculation.
The title of her third album is you seem pretty sad for a woman so in love.
When Will Olivia Rodrigo’s Third Album Come Out?
In the end, Olivia announced in April 2026 that her third album could be released on June 12, 2026.
In an October 2025 interview, she hinted that 2026 could be a “busy 12 months” creatively, leading many fans and industry watchers to take a position that the album could arrive sometime later in 2026.
She notably didn’t attend the 2026 Grammy Awards in early February because she didn’t release latest music throughout the eligibility window. On February 24, 2026, her longtime producer Dan Nigro shared a studio photo with Olivia on Instagram captioned, “Ending records…,” strongly suggesting the album is nearing completion.
That March, Olivia sat down with British Vogue about her third album, teasing that it features “sad love songs.”
“I noticed all my favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they’d a tinge of fear or craving in them,” she said.
