Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo has seemingly confirmed she’s in the final stages of crafting her third studio album. Longtime producer Dan Nigro ignited excitement among fans on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, by sharing a photo on his Instagram account showing the pair in a studio setting. The accompanying caption, "Finishing records…," strongly suggests new music is on the horizon.

Rodrigo herself jumped into the comments section, playfully acknowledging the intensity of their work. "the palpable stress in this photo hahahha," the 23-year-old singer wrote, further fueling speculation that her next project, affectionately dubbed "OR3" by fans, is nearing completion.

This isn't the first time Rodrigo has hinted at her return to the studio. After wrapping her successful "GUTS" World Tour in mid-2025, she was spotted wearing a red shirt with the number "3" at her final festival performance, signaling the end of one era and the start of another. In an American Express promotional video released in October 2025, Rodrigo explicitly stated, "Now I'm home, and I'm working on my new album." She also told Nylon in an October 2025 interview that "2026 is going to be a busy year for me," hinting at upcoming releases.

While fans eagerly await an official title and release date for "OR3," it follows her Grammy-winning debut "SOUR" (2021) and critically acclaimed sophomore effort "GUTS," which dropped in September 2023.
