THE ROAD AHEAD???

These are the days we can surely appreciate in the new year, wide open possibilities on what 2026 will bring. Also a breath a fresh air is that weirdness has lifted between Christmas and New Year’s with happy feelings entering our bodies for self-renewal. As we take up extra curricular activities not seen once the year’s in full swing, we’re also excited for new music coming out in 2026. We could have received first clues of that from Olivia Rodrigo on Monday as Olivia cleans up her official website to note a special moment. Olivia gave note that her “Driver’s License” is up for renewal this Thursday, as this life-changing single was released on January 8, 2021.

For months, LIVVIES have been waiting for Olivia’s much-anticipated third album dubbed OR3, a follow up to OR2 being “Guts”. For all we know, the 5th anniversary could be a special edition of “Sour” celebrating her phenomenal groundbreaking first album. But then again, as Olivia Rodrigo showed off her New Year’s Eve activities on instagram, a golf cart she took a picture of says “The Album”. So clearly, we could see an OR3 album announcement this Thursday which launches a whole new era while celebrating the past.
