Olivia Rodrigo's Glastonbury Triumph, New Era Tease, and Louis Partridge Romance Buzz

Olivia Rodrigo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

It’s been a headline-grabbing week for Olivia Rodrigo, who is officially entering a new chapter in her career. On September 8, Olivia marked the two-year anniversary of her Grammy-winning album Guts with a handwritten note to fans, sharing gratitude for the memories and teasing that new music is on the horizon. She also unveiled a striking new look for her website and social channels, with purple and red themes and the image of a girl with a bow and arrow, fueling speculation that her so-called OR3 era is close to kicking off, according to inmusicblog.com. The two-year mark is especially biographically significant because Guts dominated global charts, sold over 300,000 units in its first U.S. week, and propelled her to a record-breaking Guts World Tour, which recently wrapped as the highest-grossing tour ever by an artist born in the 21st century.

Olivia also made waves by announcing her upcoming live album, Live From Glastonbury, a BBC Recording, capturing her headline set at Glastonbury 2025. The performance has been widely considered a defining festival moment, not least because she performed duets with The Cure’s Robert Smith on two classic tracks, Friday I’m In Love and Just Like Heaven. According to Architeg Prints, those special collaborative tracks have been released ahead of the live album as digital and physical singles, with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders, further cementing Olivia as a charitable force in pop. The live album drops December 5 as a limited-edition 2LP set in magenta and periwinkle, making it a collector’s item for fans and vinyl enthusiasts alike. Her Glastonbury setlist reads like a greatest hits—Vampire, Drivers License, Good 4 U, and more—showing how deep her catalog already runs for a 22-year-old star. Fans are already buzzing on social media about these releases, and both Olivia and The Cure have issued statements on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram expressing excitement, which has been amplified by major pop culture outlets.

On the personal side, social media exploded when actor Louis Partridge called himself “Mr. Olivia Rodrigo” in an interview with Variety this week, sparking countless memes and comments, especially on Threads, where their rumored romance is a staple of fan conversation. Meanwhile, Olivia’s Instagram remains a source of highly visual inspiration, with her recent posts—a winter vacation bikini shot and floral beach pics—garnering millions of likes and fashion commentary, as highlighted by AOL. Notably, she skipped the 2025 MTV VMAs, a conspicuous absence according to The Rundown from AOL, simply because she had no new music to promote. She told Daily Star UK she’s focused on growing as a person and songwriter, promising the next album will feel even more mature and revealing. As for business news, her team has stayed busy launching exclusive pre-orders and new web merchandise tied to the Glastonbury release, capitalizing on her red-hot momentum while fans await official news of OR3.
