Pop star Olivia Rodrigo has finally addressed the long-standing rumours surrounding her alleged feud with Taylor Swift ahead of the release of her highly anticipated new album.
The 23-year-old singer opened up about the online speculation during an appearance on Popcast with hosts Joe Coscarelli and Jon Caramanica. During the conversation, Rodrigo discussed several personal and professional topics, including the widely discussed reports of a fallout with Taylor Swift, whom she had previously admired publicly.
“I don’t really read too far into it,” Rodrigo said while responding to the rumours that have circulated online for years.
The Deja Vu singer added that constantly focusing on internet theories and speculation about her relationships would become overwhelming.
Rumours Began After Sour Album Release
Speculation about tension between Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift first emerged after Rodrigo released her debut album Sour in May 2021.
At the time, fans noticed changes in the singers’ public interactions, leading to widespread online theories about a possible disagreement behind the scenes. The rumours intensified further in 2023 after Rodrigo released the emotional track The Grudge.
Many listeners interpreted the song as a reflection on a broken mentorship, with some believing it referenced Swift. However, neither Olivia Rodrigo nor Taylor Swift has officially confirmed the speculation.
New Album Arrives in June 2026
Rodrigo’s comments come shortly before the release of her upcoming third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which is scheduled to arrive on June 12, 2026.
The album is already generating significant attention among fans and music critics as anticipation continues to build around the singer’s next musical era.
Unraveled Tour to Begin in September
In support of the new album, Olivia Rodrigo is also preparing to launch her upcoming concert series, the Unraveled Tour.
The world tour is set to begin on September 25, 2026, in Hartford and will conclude on May 10, 2027, in London, marking another major milestone in Rodrigo’s rapidly growing music career.
