Olivia Rodrigo is headed to Spain to rep Barça — and perform a one-night-only show for her most devoted fans.
The singer-songwriter is the latest artist to team up with FC Barcelona and Spotify, kicking off the partnership with the unveiling of her own blue and red striped jersey featuring Rodrigo’s logo on the front in place of Spotify’s. The announcement comes a little over a week before the the fútbol club’s El Clásico match at the newly-renovated Spotify Camp Nou, where the team will play against their rival, Real Madrid and feature Rodrigo’s jersey on the pitch.
The Blaugrana wear is also available to purchase via the Barça Official Stores in Spain and online in limited quantities as part of the Olivia Rodrigo Collection, which also includes a “Força Barça” t-shirt, hoodie, bucket hat, stickers and more.
Rodrigo and Spotify will also treat fans to an intimate, one-off concert in the Spanish city on May 8 celebrating “the fandom unique to Livies and the connected spirit which flows through the community,” according to a press release. The show will be invite-only for Rodrigo’s top fans — who will have the opportunity to attend based on their Spotify listening — and arrives a little over a month before Rodrigo drops her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love on June 12. Its lead single, “drop dead,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week and is set to be performed by Rodrigo during her Saturday Night Live debut double-duty stint on May 2.
“Seeing ‘OR’ on a FC Barcelona jersey for El Clásico, I don’t even know how to process that. It’s been so fun seeing the jersey come to life and creating a full collection with Spotify and Barca,” Rodrigo said in the release. “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. That’s everything to me. I cannot wait to see them.”
While FC Barcelona will don Rodrigo’s jersey on the May 10 match, FC Barcelona Femení will be wearing the jersey in their Liga F match against Levante on May 6.
Over the past four years, Spotify has teamed up with FC Barcelona to create artist jerseys for Travis Scott, Coldplay, Karol G, Drake and more. So far, Rodrigo is the youngest artist to takeover the uniform. Watch the trailer above.
