Olivia Rodrigo Teases Third Album in Vogue Interview

Olivia Rodrigo has offered fans their first substantial glimpse into her upcoming third album, describing it as a collection of sad love songs infused with fear and yearning, during a cover story interview with British Vogue. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter, fresh off her headline performance at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, shared details about the project's experimental sound and personal inspirations, while revealing an ongoing creative bond with The Cure's Robert Smith.

Rodrigo's set at Glastonbury last summer marked a career milestone, drawing massive crowds to the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in England. During the performance on June 29, 2025, she surprised audiences by inviting Smith onstage for duet covers of The Cure's classics "Friday I'm in Love" and "Just Like Heaven." Rodrigo introduced the 67-year-old frontman as "perhaps the greatest songwriter to come out of England and a personal hero of mine," a nod to her longstanding admiration for the band. The collaboration, captured in high spirits backstage with photos showing the pair sharing shots and Rodrigo later wearing a Cure T-shirt to bed, has since fueled speculation about deeper ties.
