Olivia Rodrigo is marking the close of her GUTS era while hinting at the start of a new chapter in her career, as speculation about her relationship with actor Louis Partridge intensifies.
The “Vampire” singer announced the release of a GUTS World Tour book, describing it as “a special book 2 commemorate all our GUTS tour memories” and thanking fans for being part of the journey. The book is now available for preorder.
Fans quickly noticed visual changes to Rodrigo’s website, including a shift from purple to red, the disappearance of star motifs, and her butterfly logo turning red, all seen as signs of her third studio album on the horizon.
At her final festival performance of the GUTS era at Osheaga in Montreal, Rodrigo wore a red shirt with the number three and gave away her GUTS rings to fans.
Away from the stage, rumours about Rodrigo’s personal life have grown after she was spotted walking hand-in-hand with Partridge in Los Angeles, wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger.

The couple, first linked in October 2023, have made several public appearances together, including the Grammy Awards, the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, and Wimbledon.
Some fans have connected the engagement speculation to lyrics from her 2024 track “so american,” in which she sings, “Oh God, I’m gonna marry him.” During a Glastonbury set, Rodrigo confirmed the song was inspired by her English boyfriend.
Others pointed out that Rodrigo has been wearing the ring since she was a teenager, a long time before she met Partridge.
With career and personal milestones aligning, anticipation for Rodrigo's next musical era is building.
