The singer's next record may be released sooner than we think.&nbsp;

Three years after releasing Guts, her second studio album, Olivia Rodrigo is officially ready to move on.&nbsp;
Between the year-long Guts World Tour, the extended version of the album, and appearances at the industry's hottest events, the Guts era has kept Rodrigo plenty busy, but now that she's stepped into a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/olivia-rodrigo-boyfriend-louis-partridge-dating-relationship-timeline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new phase of her life</a>, there's nothing like a brand-new album to set the tone.&nbsp;
To be sure, the star hasn't made any overt announcements just yet, but with easter eggs abound and secret messages hidden on billboards in Los Angeles and London, fans are convinced OR3, as the Internet has dubbed it, is on the horizon. And now, as of April 1, 2026, Rodrigo has fully wiped her Instagram account.
It's finally happening.&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align: center;">When is Olivia Rodrigo's third album releasing?</h2>

Per Rodrigo herself, OR3 is coming sometime in 2026.&nbsp;
"I won't say too much, but I think 2026 is going to be a busy year for me,&rdquo; Rodrigo told <a href="https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/olivia-rodrigo-interview-amex" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nylon</a> in late 2025. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been having a lot of fun dreaming things up.&rdquo;
The star hasn't yet revealed when OR3 is expected to drop, but by fan estimations, Spring 2026 seems to be the top contender.&nbsp;
Devoted listeners worldwide have also noticed an uptick in Olivia Rodrigo-related advertisements. In Los Angeles, a new Olivia Rodrigo mural has appeared, sparking speculation that promotion for the new album has already begun. Viewers online have noticed that each day the mural&mdash;which started in her signature shade of purple&mdash;has been painted a lighter shade, and is currently light pink. 
Meanwhile, in London, a fan has found a locket, decked out with the singer's new logo and the word April written on the side.&nbsp;
With Rodrigo's Instagram now fully wiped clean, we can expect a full promotional rollout/rebranding on her account very soon.&nbsp;

<h2>Are there any collaborations on Olivia Rodrigo's third album?</h2>

As of late March 2026, Rodrigo has not announced the tracklist, title, or concept surrounding OR3, but given all of the covers and artist collaborations for the fifth anniversary celebration of her first album, Sour, fans expect that her newest project may feature several additional singers.&nbsp;
On the standard versions of Rodrigo's previous albums, there were no collaborations.&nbsp;

<h2 style="text-align: center;">What is the theme of Olivia Rodrigo's third album?&nbsp;</h2>

As the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/every-look-from-olivia-rodrigo-guts-world-tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guts World Tour</a> came to a close, fans noticed that Rodrigo began leaning into several new aesthetics. The star has long been associated with her signature shade of purple, but as she continues to grow and evolve as an artist, a new visual theme may be in the works. In May 2025, she told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gibHrNVNysU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a> that red is her "new favorite color." On the surface, her declaration&mdash;along with a suite of ultra-chic red outfits&mdash;might just be an innocuous personal update, but considering the changes to her website, which swapped from purple to deep red, it may also be a sign of a completely new era.&nbsp;
Over the course of Spring 2026, it seems even more likely that an Olivia Rodrigo pink era is upon us. With the London locket and the pink Los Angeles mural in mind, the star is definitely leaning into the hue, but for the time being, we'll just have to wait and see why.&nbsp;
