Olivia Rodrigo is about to appear on one of the most recognizable jerseys in world football. Later this month, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter becomes the eighth artist to take over the front of the FC Barcelona jersey at Spotify Camp Nou, replacing the Spotify logo for El Clásico. She’s also the youngest artist to receive the honor, following previous takeovers by Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott, Coldplay, KAROL G, The Rolling Stones, ROSALÍA, and Drake.
FC Barcelona Femení wear the jersey first, during their Liga F match against Levante on May 6. The men’s El Clásico match against Real Madrid follows on May 10. Both matches take place at Spotify Camp Nou, four years into Spotify’s ongoing partnership with the club.
The jersey is only part of it. On May 8, Rodrigo performs Billions Club Live in Barcelona, a celebration of the tracks she’s landed in Spotify’s Billions Club, brought directly to the fans who’ve been there from the start. “Seeing OR on a Barcelona jersey for El Clásico, I don’t even know how to process that,” she said. “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.”
A limited-edition capsule collection blending FC Barcelona’s iconic look with Rodrigo’s visual world is available now. The collection includes a t-shirt, fleece crew, hoodie, bucket hat, scarf, travel mug, sticker pack, and tote bag, plus 1,899 limited-edition jerseys inspired by the club’s founding year. Items are available at Barça Official Stores in Spain and online now. FC Barcelona is also releasing a special edition Barça Matchday playlist featuring Rodrigo’s latest single “drop dead” to soundtrack the lead-up to game day.
Rodrigo’s third studio album, ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love,’ drops June 12.
