Olivia Rodrigo: Wrapping GUTS, Igniting OR3 Era | Pop Star Evolution

Olivia Rodrigo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Olivia Rodrigo has been everywhere in the past week, signaling both the ending of her second album era and the start of what looks like a major new chapter for her career. Just days ago, the GUTS World Tour officially wrapped after an epic run across North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, punctuated by buzzy headlining sets at Lollapalooza Chicago, Governors Ball, BST Hyde Park, Glastonbury, and Osheaga according to Wikipedia and Elle. To celebrate the finale, she gave fans in Montreal a special moment by wearing a glittered "3" shirt on stage and handing out her signature GUTS rings, which fans and the music press instantly took as the clearest confirmation yet that her third album—nicknamed OR3 online—is imminent. In her August 11th newsletter and on TikTok, she left no doubt, writing that she was "sooooo excited for all that's y3t to come," with Easter eggs and color palette changes to deep red on her website and branding, fueling further speculation that her next project will arrive very soon. There’s still no official release date or announced tracklist, but Elle and AOL both note the clear, intentional messaging points to a major album rollout on the horizon.

On the live and social front, Rodrigo has kept her profile high, including an intimate recent show in Dublin where she covered "I Love You" by Fontaines D.C., shared widely on Instagram on August 22. The singer also turned heads at major events, attending the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in a bold, plunging leather look that Harper’s Bazaar described as “solidifying her bombshell era.” At the 2025 Grammy Awards on February 2, she made headlines not just for her vintage Versace on the red carpet—documented by outlets such as Just Jared—but for her notable interactions inside the arena. At last, any rumors of a feud with Sabrina Carpenter seemed to be put to rest, as the two stars, now both Grammy winners, were seen sharing a warm, public conversation during the ceremony. Carpenter even took home her first Grammy that night, while Rodrigo presented onstage and was nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media, though the award went to Jon Batiste. In another closely-watched moment, Olivia showed online support for Taylor Swift by liking a fan account’s Grammys video, a gesture widely interpreted by Just Jared as signaling no bad blood between the former friends despite years of media speculation.

In interviews and features, she’s been reflecting on her growth as a songwriter, telling the Daily Star UK that her next album would reflect a more mature viewpoint. She also reunited for a candid chat with Conan Gray in Interview, discussing creative advice and their years-long friendship. Olivia Rodrigo currently stands at a critical turning point—her festival successes, media savvy, and hints of raw new material mark her as not just a pop fixture but a generational voice reinventing herself right in front of us.
