Pop star Olivia Rodrigo has reportedly parted ways with her long-term management team, Aleen Keshishian and Zack Morgenroth, who were affiliated with Lighthouse Management + Media. This development occurs as Rodrigo prepares for the rollout of her upcoming album and amid heightened online discussion about a social media ‘like’ by Keshishian, which some fans interpreted as a subtle jab at Taylor Swift. The post in question referenced Swift’s song “Father Figure,” which had previously been speculated by fans to contain veiled references to Rodrigo. Keshishian’s interaction with this post quickly drew the attention of both fanbases, creating a narrative that intertwined industry drama with artist management.
Neither Rodrigo nor her former managers have officially commented on the management split or the online speculation surrounding the ‘like.’ Sources close to Rodrigo’s label, Interscope Records, indicate that the artist is currently focusing on building an internal executive team rather than immediately seeking new management. This isn’t the first time Rodrigo has changed management during a significant career juncture; she previously separated from Kristen Smith before embarking on her debut tour, a decision then described as a “professional reset.” Eyes are now firmly on Rodrigo’s next album, with the artist having recently wrapped her Guts Tour and returned to Los Angeles to focus on new material. In a recent interview, she shared that being home has been “grounding” and allowed her to reflect on her journey since her debut album’s success, confirming that she is actively working on new music.
