Olivia Rodrigo rocked the world (yes, again) with the release of her first studio album, SOUR, in May of this year. The album, which features brooding themes and heartbreaking lyrics, is set to become a defining breakup album for Gen-Z, as dozens of TikTok trends and social media challenges have already been created in the album's honor. Olivia is no stranger to the spotlight, as her brekaout single "drivers license" spent eight weeks at the top of the Billboard Top 100. Now, with the release of SOUR, Olivia is telling even more stories of young love gone awry. 

"Every song is so personal and close to my heart. Getting to share them with people is the most special thing I’ve ever done in my life," Olivia said in her album announcement on Instagram. "I hope you guys enjoy the 34 minutes and 46 seconds of me spilling my guts out that is called sour. thank you for helping me turn all my unhappy feelings into one of the best moments of my life"
