Australia, respectfully: do not start camping outside stadiums just yet. But also… don’t lose hope.
Fresh off releasing her third studio album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love – which is currently doing exactly what everyone expected an Olivia Rodrigo album to do and absolutely dominating – the pop superstar has dropped a very tiny but potentially interesting update about returning Down Under.
Olivia Rodrigo – ‘stupid song’
Speaking with Nova Radio’s Ricki-Lee & Tim this week, Rodrigo was asked the question currently occupying approximately half the Australian internet: are we getting an Aussie tour?
Her answer wasn’t exactly a confirmation… but it also wasn’t a no.
Asked whether she’d be bringing the new album to Australia, Rodrigo replied: “I am so on album mode. I like literally cannot see five feet in front of [me].”
Before adding: “I love going to Australia, and I hope to be back very soon.”
So no dates. No venues. No suspicious black-and-white teaser graphic with coordinates hidden in the source code. Just vibes.
Still, for Australian Livies who watched Rodrigo tear through her last visit before immediately disappearing back into global pop stardom, it’s enough to start quietly manifesting.
Elsewhere in the chat, Rodrigo reflected on finally releasing her new record after living with it privately for the better part of two years.
“I’ve had the happiest week ever,” she said. “It feels so amazing to have this record out in the world. I’ve been living with it, and finessing it for about two years now… and to watch [the songs] resonate with people and apply them to their own personal lives is just so beautiful, and a total dream come true.”
She also offered some surprisingly wholesome advice about surviving the increasingly chaotic experience of existing in 2026: “Finding people who really support you and truly love you for who you are is just the name of the game.”
“If I am sane at all, it’s only because of my wonderful friends who have always supported me and brought me back down to earth.”
And because no pop star interview is complete without a fan gift question, Rodrigo also revealed her favourite presents are handmade ones – especially knitted hats: “Whenever people knit me hats, I always find that really touching.”
The interview arrives during what’s shaping up to be one of Rodrigo’s busiest eras yet.
Alongside her new album, she recently announced Daisy Chain Fields – her long-dreamed-of festival featuring an all-women lineup including names like Chappell Roan, Doechii, Mitski, Bikini Kill, Stevie Nicks and more, with proceeds supporting organisations dedicated to women and girls.
As for Australia? No official plans just yet. But “very soon” sounds a whole lot better than “no comment”.
