Olivia Rodrigo, the 22-year-old pop sensation, has reportedly parted ways with her managers Aleen Keshishian and Zack Morgenroth.

Instead of seeking out new traditional management, Rodrigo is said to be building her own leadership team, suggesting greater independence in her career.


Olivia Rodrigo Drops Management

Though the exact reasons behind the split remain unknown, many believe it reflects Rodrigo’s desire for more creative control, especially as she is currently working on her highly anticipated third studio album.

This is not the first time the singer separated from her management: she previously dropped her former manager, Kristen Smith, back in 2022, just before embarking on her first tour.

While none of the involved parties have publicly commented on the decision, it seems Rodrigo is making it clear that she wants to steer her career on her own terms.

Fans Presume Social Media Post Shading Taylor Swift To Be The Reason

In the absence of official statements, fans have begun speculating about the cause of Rodrigo’s split from Keshishian and Morgenroth. Some believe the fallout may be connected to a social media incident involving Taylor Swift.

According to rumors, Aleen Keshishian allegedly liked a post that appeared to shade Swift. The post referenced Swift’s track "Father Figure," which some fans interpreted as a diss aimed at Olivia Rodrigo.

While this theory has gained traction online, none of these claims have been confirmed by Rodrigo or her former management team. As of now, all parties have remained silent about the real reasons behind the breakup.

She briefly spoke about the project in a recent American Express ad on YouTube, hinting at the creative direction she’s exploring.

Now, with no management overseeing her every move, Rodrigo appears to be taking full control of her next chapter. Fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see how this new level of autonomy will influence her music.
