This month marked the second anniversary of Olivia Rodrigo‘s debut album, Sour. The album made Rodrigo an instant star and household name, boasting hits like “Deja Vu,” “Good 4 U,” “Traitor,” “Brutal,” and of course, her breakthrough single, “Driver’s License.”
It goes without saying that fans are anxious for new music, and it looks like a new era may just be imminent.
On the album’s proper anniversary (May 21), Rodrigo shared a note via her fan newsletter, which read, “I’m taking today to reflect on all the amazing things that have happened since Sour and looking fORward 2 all the things to come.”

In the note, fans immediately notice that the letter “O” and “R” and the number 2 were bolder than the rest of the writing.
Today (May 27), Rodrigo may have shared another hint. On Instagram, Rodrigo posted a mirror selfie of in what appears to be a dressing room.
In the background is a calendar, which, oddly appeared to be turned to June. On the last day of June is a purple heart, which has sent fans into a frenzy, sharing theories as to when Rodrigo plans to kick off the OR2 era.
