Ever since Bridgers announced her Reunion Tour in March 2021 and dropped her single "Sidelines" for the Hulu adaptation of Sally Rooney's "Conversations With Friends," fans have been wondering if the "I Know the End" singer has a follow-up to her 2020 album, "Punisher," in the works. With the worldwide leg of her tour slated to begin on 30 Jan., 2023, Bridgers's fans on social media are hopeful that the new release will arrive in spring.
In January 2021, LA singer-songwriter Jensen McRae shared a parody of what she hopes the opening track on Bridgers's next album will be. "In 2023 Phoebe Bridgers is gonna drop her third album & the opening track will be about hooking up in the car while waiting in line to get vaccinated at dodger stadium and it's gonna make me cry," McRae captioned the Twitter video, which became a hit among fans and even earned an "oh my god" from Bridgers herself.
Given that Bridgers's inner circle consists of fellow musicians Lucy Dacus, Julien Baker, and Conor Oberst, the new album could also feature some exciting collaborations. Until we find out more about her fourth studio album, watch Bridgers's "Sidelines" video here.
