Olivia Rodrigo has weighed in on a popular fan theory that her next album would be titled “CARD," and she says it is not happening. In a chat ahead of a special show, Rodrigo laughed off the idea while showing she enjoys her fans' wild guesses. The singer is already working on new music, but right now, "CARD" isn't the name.Rodrigo has two studio albums so far: SOUR and GUTS. Fans have long watched her move from one era into the next, trying to spot clues about what comes next. Some believed that CARD would be the title of album number three. Rodrigo addressed the idea, saying the theory is "fun" but that she is definitely not going with it.What was the theory, and what did Olivia Rodrigo say?The CARD theory grew because fans noticed certain patterns in Olivia Rodrigo's work and tried to connect the dots. They spotted the four-letter titles of her albums so far (SOUR, GUTS) and thought that maybe CARD would follow. Some posts on social media and forums picked up on the idea. In an interview, Rodrigo acknowledged that she sees these theories and finds them quite fun. She said,"Oh my gosh! I see a bunch of album title theories all the time, which is so fun. The latest one I saw was that it was going to be called CARD, and I was like, 'Oh, that's a fun idea, but definitely not going to be the case.' But I love seeing people’s theories and them connecting all of these dots."She made it clear that while she loves her fans' creativity, the title CARD is not happening. Olivia Rodrigo made those comments right as she works on wrapping up the GUTS phase and is moving into something fresh. She put on a performance in New York City just for fans with American Express Platinum Cards. During that event, she dropped hints about fresh tracks on the way. She also talked about trying out different sounds. Plus, she mentioned she is not rushing things at all.5th Annual Academy Museum Gala - Arrivals - Source: GettyShe explained that work continues on her upcoming full album. Nothing is locked in yet, and that includes even the title itself. So the name remains up in the air for now. Fans might see more unexpected twists ahead. One thing stands out, though. She did not brush off the fan idea in a casual way. Instead, she made it clear she appreciates their deep interest. She respects how much they care about her work, and she even nudged them to keep putting out their creative ideas.What does this mean for her upcoming album and fans?Fans are talking about Olivia Rodrigo working on fresh tracks right now. This whole debunking of the CARD album title puts fans in a bit of a curious spot. They have figured out what the album will not be named, but they remain clueless about the actual title. Speculation keeps going strong among everyone, and fans probably will not stop looking for signs. They scan her outfits and social posts, check out show visuals and interview bits too, all in the hopes of finding any possible hint.Olivia Rodrigo talked about it herself in some recent interviews. She called the next stage "so different" from her first two albums. She said she is older now, she has had more experiences, and she is writing music in a new place mentally.The fact that she addressed the CARD theory also signals how she handles fan engagement: she takes it seriously enough to respond but keeps control of the narrative. She didn't let the theory run wild into an assumption. She moved it aside very softly, which could also mean that she already has a clear idea of her next move. That can definitely comfort fans that the next album will be a well-thought-out work and not a surprise quick one.

As for the next record, not even a hint of the title is part of the anticipation.In brief, Olivia Rodrigo's next album won't be named CARD. The album is still underway, and the title hasn't been decided yet. Fans will have to wait a little while to find out what name she chooses. The guessing, the excitement, and the detective work will go on, and Olivia Rodrigo seems to be fine with it.
