Olivia Rodrigo’s birthday silence sparks OR3 frenzy

Olivia Rodrigo has marked her 23 birthday on February 20, fans are purporting to watch what they think will be a headline event.

Notably, fans noticed Rodrigo has kept her wide mostly silent since wrapping her expansive Guts World Tour in August 2025.

The three-times Grammy-winning hitmaker recently has been on the discussion amid her big day silence.

This silence, many believe to be an indication of something big to come and could serve as a tactical release of her third studio album, informally referred to as OR3.

There has not yet been an official declaration, but online sleuths hints a number of indicators.

Notably, this include studio activity and a visible aesthetic change of her trademark purple branding to an eye-catching red palette signifying a new musical era.

The American singer-songwriter had already characterized 2026 as a “busy year”, and the possibility of fresh music coming sooner than even later was fuelled.

Assuming its confirmation, the upcoming project would be her first full-length release since GUTS (2023) after the success of the breakout album SOUR (2021).

In the meantime, there will be a 7-inch red-vinyl limited-edition of Driver’s License, with a David Byrne cover, which will run when the track was released, on April 3.

Although the release is not related to a new album, however, it fuelled the expectation among the fans.
