The wait is officially over for fans of global pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo. The multi-platinum, three-time GRAMMY Award-winning singer-songwriter has sent the internet into a frenzy this Thursday morning by officially announcing her highly anticipated return to the road. Dubbed The Unraveled Tour, the sprawling 65-date global arena trek will take the superstar across North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe throughout 2026 and into 2027. Promoted by live-entertainment giant Live Nation, this ambitious new tour marks the beginning of a thrilling new era for the artist, coming in support of her eagerly awaited third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.
Following the monumental, sold-out success of her previous world tour, Rodrigo is leveling up in every conceivable way. From historic chart milestones to massive multi-night arena residencies, the 23-year-old musician is cementing her status as one of the most dominant forces in modern pop and rock music. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of everything you need to know about Olivia Rodrigo’s The Unraveled Tour, the upcoming album, special guests, and how you can secure your tickets.
The Dawn of a New Era: you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
Before she packs her bags and heads out on the road, fans will be treated to a brand-new collection of music. Rodrigo’s third studio album, the intriguingly titled you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, is slated for global release on June 12, 2026, via Geffen Records. Promising a mature, expansive, and inspired evolution of her signature sound, the record is expected to retain the vulnerability, tenderness, and originality that initially helped her songwriting resonate with millions of fans across the globe.
The album is already off to a record-breaking start. Its lead single, the punchy and infectious “drop dead,” made a monumental splash upon release, debuting straight at No. 1 on the highly coveted Billboard Hot 100 chart. This achievement is far from just another trophy on Rodrigo’s shelf—it is a historic milestone. With the success of “drop dead,” Rodrigo has become the first artist in history to debut the lead singles from all three of her studio albums at the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100. Furthermore, she stands entirely alone as the only artist born in the 21st century to boast multiple Hot 100 No. 1 hits, adding “drop dead” to her already legendary roster of chart-toppers that includes “vampire,” “good 4 u,” and her breakout smash “drivers license.”
It is no wonder that prestigious publications like The New York Times have praised her as “a songwriter of rather astonishing purity.” The new album is poised to be one of the biggest musical events of the summer, setting the perfect stage for a globe-trotting tour.
