Olivia Rodrigo Surprises Fans with New Tour Dates and Teases Unreleased Track—Everything We Know

Pop phenom Olivia Rodrigo is turning the calendar into her personal rollout schedule, serving fans a triple-threat week of new music, prime-time TV, and stadium-size brand power. New single “drop dead” ushers in the OR3 era In a newly published Cosmopolitan cover story, Rodrigo reveals that the visceral breakup track “drop dead” will premiere on 2 May and act as the lead single from her third studio album, tentatively tagged “OR3,” due later this year. She calls the song “the messiest thing I’ve ever released,” teasing a heavier alt-rock palette inspired by 2000s pop-punk. Hosting and headlining Saturday Night Live Rodrigo will debut “drop dead” live while pulling double duty as both host and musical guest on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, marking her first return to the Studio 8H stage since 2021. Expect skits that nod to high-school heartbreak—and an all-female backing band she personally assembled for the occasion. From stage to stadium: Barça collaboration Spotify is splashing Rodrigo’s OR3 butterfly logo across FC Barcelona’s iconic blaugrana jersey for the El Clásico showdown on 1 May, the streaming giant’s latest pop-star kit takeover after previous Drake and Rosalia drops. Limited-edition shirts and a matching capsule merch line will hit the Barça and Olivia Rodrigo web stores within hours of kick-off. The Unraveled Tour 2026/27—dates and presale details Barely 24 hours after the jersey reveal, Rodrigo announced The Unraveled Tour, a 65-date global trek launching 10 September in Hartford and stretching into spring 2027—with multiple-night stands in Los Angeles, London, and Sydney.
