US Singer becomes latest artist on the club’s jersey due to Spotify partnership
Olivia Rodrigo will feature on the front of Barcelona’s shirt for the upcoming clásico. The move is part of the club’s ongoing partnership with Spotify, which has previously seen artists such as The Rolling Stones, Drake, Coldplay and Travis Scott appear on Barcelona’s jersey for high-profile matches.
Barcelona play Real Madrid on 10 May with the La Liga title likely to be decided on that day. The last time the two sides met in October at the Bernabeu, Barcelona’s jersey featured the word “Play” in reference to artiste Ed Sheeran’s eighth studio album.
Rodrigo, a Grammy Award winner, recently released her single “Drop Dead” and is preparing to launch her third studio album later this year. She said the collaboration was a unique moment in her career.
“Seeing OR [Olivia Rodrigo] on a Barcelona jersey for El Clásico, I don’t even know how to process that,” Rodrigo said. “It’s been so fun seeing the jersey come to life and creating a full collection with Spotify and Barca.
“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.”
