It looks like Olivia Rodrigo is teasing\u2026 something or other. <\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s website has changed its front page in the last few days. It now resembles a US driver\u2019s licence (which was, of course, the title of her breakthrough hit) with the words \u2018Driver\u2019s License Application for Renewal\u2019 and a box ticked for renewing online. The driver licence file number is 05212021, which eagle-eyed fans will know was the date her first album Sour was released nearly five years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, under \u2018Appointment Information\u2019 it says the date of 8 January, 2026 and a time of 9:00 PST.<\/p>\n

So you have to assume that the singer will make some kind of announcement tomorrow. Fans have been speculating as to what it could mean \u2013 a reissue of Sour, perhaps? Or a brand new album, the provisional title of which is OR3.<\/p>\n

One fan wrote online: \u201cThat’s such a cool idea! Renewing your driver’s license on the 5th anniversary of \u2018drivers license\u2019 is so creative. Olivia always knows how to keep her fans engaged. Can’t wait to see what other surprises she has in store for us!\u201d. Whilst another said: \u201cWe are so ready for what she has in store for us!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Some, it seems, have already decided what it could be, with one writing: \u201cOR3 IS COMING AHH\u201d, and another saying: \u201cWe\u2019re SO on!!! #OR3.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever it is, fans on tenterhooks.<\/p>\n
