Olivia Rodrigo is the latest artist to appear on the front of the Barcelona FC jersey, which the team will wear as they go head-to-head with Real Madrid later this month.
The collaboration comes as the football team signed a sponsorship deal with Spotify in 2022, and the partnership sees the streaming giant swap out its own logo for the emblem of selected artists for El Clasico matches.
Previous collaborations have included The Rolling Stones, Karol G, Coldplay and Rosalía, and now Olivia Rodrigo is the latest to be chosen as she gears up to drop her third album ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’ on June 12.
The new design has the ‘Deja Vu’ singer’s classic ‘OR’ logo in the centre, printed in the same shade of yellow as the Adidas logo in the top left corner. The team will be wearing the jersey when they face Real Madrid in the upcoming Clasico at Camp Nou on May 10.
That match comes at a vital stage of the Liga Season, and Barcelona are currently nine points clear of their rivals with five games remaining.
“Seeing OR [Olivia Rodrigo] on a FC Barcelona jersey for El Clásico, I don’t even know how to process that,” Rodrigo said, also announcing a performance in the Spanish city to mark the occasion.
“It’s been so fun seeing the jersey come to life and creating a full collection with Spotify and Barça. On top of that, getting to perform for the fans who’ve been listening since day one, in a city like Barcelona, is going to be so special,” she added. “That’s everything to me. I cannot wait to see them.”
The invite-only gig in Barcelona will be held on May 8 as part of Spotify’s ‘Billions Club Live’ series, and fans will be selected for free tickets based on their Spotify listening history.
As well as the shirt, Rodrigo has also created a full capsule collection with Barcelona FC and Spotify, which includes a t-shirt, a fleece, a hoodie, tote bags, travel mugs and more. Visit here for to browse the range.
“Olivia Rodrigo has built one of the most passionate fan communities in the world, and so has FC Barcelona,” said Marc Hazan, senior vice president, marketing and partnerships at Spotify (via Musicweek).
“Fandom doesn’t have borders and the most powerful thing Spotify can do is bring those worlds together. Putting her most dedicated fans in the room with her on the eve of El Clásico, that’s what this partnership was built for.”

Rodrigo’s new album is the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Guts’ and expected to be both “experimental” and full of “sad love songs”.
Earlier this week, Rodrigo shared more insight into what to expect from her new album, saying it is centred around the feelings of “jealousy” and “longing” that arose from her first “big girl relationship”. So far, she has only dropped one track, the lead single ‘Drop Dead’.
She broke the song out live during Addison Rae’s set at Coachella and later performed it at a surprise appearance at a New York City open mic event.
Since then, she has held an intimate, phone-free show in LA where she shared a taste of the album’s next single (which appears to feature Weyes Blood), and sparked rumours of a collaboration with Geese frontman Cameron Winter after they were seen together at a restaurant.
Rodrigo has also cited The Cure, New Order, Joy Division, The White Stripes and Bikini Kill as sources of inspiration for the new music, and announced a massive 2026 and 2027 tour, which includes four nights at The O2 in London.
