Olivia Rodrigo's OR3 Era Is Nearly Upon Us—Here Are Some of the Best Fan Theories About Her Third Album
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Olivia Rodrigo's discography is on heavy rotation 24/7, and fans have been anticipating her third album since she dropped her sophomore record, GUTS, back in 2023. O-Rod just wrapped up the GUTS era with a damn-near flawless festival run headlining Governor's Ball, Bonnaroo, and Osheaga. Now, she's given her dedicated Livies the confirmation they need that OR3 is on the way. What has Olivia Rodrigo said about OR3? In a newsletter shared with fans on August 11, the Grammy winner revealed that the GUTS chapter of her musical story has come to an end. 'The GUTS world tour is officially over!! thank u 4 making each and every show so special,' she wrote, in part, before sending fans into a spiral with a specifically placed '3' in the middle of her message. She continued, 'The end of the GUTS era feels bittersweet, but I'm sooooo excited for all that's y3t to come!!!! speaking of what's next... clear ur calendar tomorrow at 9 am pt for something special i've been working on to celebrate all our GUTS tour memories together.' That may have been the first time she confirmed a new era is upon us in writing, but after her headlining set at Osheaga on August 3, the artist ditched her signature GUTS rings and handed them out to fans in the crowd. 'rings off!!!!! that's a wrap on guts tour!!! until next time I love y'all💋🎸🎂,' she captioned a clip she posted to TikTok. She also wore a bedazzled '3' on her shirt that night, signaling her next era was coming. However, all the way back in July 2023, Liv revealed she was already conceptualizing her third album (yes, before GUTS even dropped in its entirety) during an interview with Open House Party. 'I've actually been thinking about it a lot,' she said at the time. 'I just barely finished GUTS, so I can't get too ahead of myself, but, yeah, I definitely am ideating. The wheels are spinning.' At the premiere of her GUTS World Tour film in 2024, Entertainment Tonight asked if her post-tour plans included working on OR3 and if it would be 'love inspired.' Her cheeky response: 'We'll see! You'll have to listen, tune in.' Olivia later told Harper's Bazaar, 'I love trying to distill my emotions into songs. It's one of my favorite things in the world, and I hope in the future I'll continue to make albums that are fresh and exciting to me creatively.' Ofc, she's been pretty tight-lipped about her upcoming project. We don't even know what it's called yet, but in the meantime, we can scroll through fan theories and see which ones could potentially come true. Here's what fans think Olivia Rodrigo's third album title is... What SOUR and GUTS have in common—aside from their purple-tinted visuals, of course—is the fact that both albums have four-letter titles. As we hold out for OR3 announcement any day now, fans theorize that the album could be titled... Ahead of GUTS, a lot of theories pointed to SWEET as a contender. Fans are sticking with the theory for the OR3 era, which they feel will be inspired by her romance with Louis Partridge á la 'So American.' Others have ruled SWEET out entirely as it's a five-letter word. Some have theorized that OR3 will be called BURN and have a red-and-orange theme, as Liv has famously included fire in her music videos and on tour. She also introduced hints of red during the GUTS era. The most popular theory? That'd be LUCK. Tons of fans have picked up on Olivia's affinity for ladybugs and polka dots recently, and the insect is known to symbolize good luck. Her previous eras included butterfly imagery, so it seems likely that ladybugs can be introduced in the O-Rod universe, too. Olivia also said she was the 'luckiest girl alive' in an Instagram post celebrating her birthday. Ofc, she was decked out in polka dots and ladybug emojis were present in her caption.

Olivia Rodrigo sparks speculation about new music at Osheaga 2025 festival finale
Olivia Rodrigo may have quietly teased her highly anticipated third studio album during the closing show of her GUTS tour at Osheaga 2025 in Montreal. In her final encore, the singer appeared on stage wearing a simple red shirt printed with a bedazzled '3' on the torso, instantly sparking speculation among fans and media alike. The unspoken gesture was interpreted by many as a sign that her next album, often referred to as OR3, is on the horizon. Rodrigo has not publicly commented on the shirt, but her history of planting subtle visual cues during performances lends credibility to the theory. In a 2023 interview, Rodrigo confirmed she had begun early work on her next album and intended to maintain her signature four-letter title format, following SOUR and GUTS. Among fan predictions are titles such as 'LUCK', 'BURN', and 'SWEET', though none have been confirmed. She previously revealed that around 25 tracks were written but not included on GUTS, leaving ample material for future releases. Combined with her ongoing songwriting habit and growing personal experiences, many believe Rodrigo's third album could take a new thematic turn, possibly focusing on love and maturity. Additionally, her shift in stage aesthetics, from the purple tones of SOUR and GUTS to vibrant reds, has fuelled theories about a new album era, perhaps exploring romantic themes. Though no official release date has been announced, Rodrigo's history of two-year album cycles points to a likely late 2025 or early 2026 drop.
