Having Spent 2026 Breaking Records, Olivia Rodrigo Closes the Year With a Christmas Song

Having spent 2026 breaking records, Olivia Rodrigo is closing the year with a Christmas song: "take me home (4 christmas)", her first holiday single, released through Interscope at 12pm AEDT on Friday 6 November.

The music video arrived at the same moment, featuring Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon alongside Saturday Night Live's Ben Marshall. Rodrigo co-wrote the song with Dan Nigro and Amy Allen, with Nigro also producing.

For collectors, an exclusive 7-inch vinyl and cassette is available to pre-order at oliviarodrigo.com, with the 7-inch also on pre-order elsewhere and due in stores from release day.

According to her label, the year has already been a big one: her third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 485,000 first-week units, becoming 2026's biggest solo debut while topping the charts in 17 countries. Her October "expectations" remix with Chappell Roan then became the highest-peaking all-female collaboration on the Hot 100 this year, returning the album to No. 1.

Rodrigo is currently on her sold-out Unraveled Tour, which the label says has passed a million tickets sold, adding stops on demand and breaking several venue records along the way. On 29 August she also launched her own women-led music festival, Daisy Chain Fields, at Great Park in Irvine, California, raising $20 million for 10 non-profits working for women and girls, the label says.

The momentum stretches back to the start of her career. Her debut, SOUR, is six-times platinum, its follow-up GUTS debuted at No. 1 as has her entire discography since, and the GUTS World Tour played 100 sold-out shows across 64 cities. At Glastonbury she became the second-youngest person ever to headline, with an awards tally that includes 14 Grammy nominations with three wins, seven Billboard Awards, a Brit, a Juno and an NME Award.
