Omar Rudberg: 2025 Year in Review, Part 1
So much happened in 2025 that it's hard to believe that it was just a single year! Career triumphs, significant achievements, personal growth, and so much hard work. Omar has come so far and has so much to be proud of!
Jan. 31. After two weeks of teasing, Omar begins the year by dropping his new single I'm Not A Boy and its visualizer. This song should be a recognized anthem it's so meaningful. Sorry to tell you, but I am a FREAK!đ˝đ˝đ˝đ˝đ˝
Omar appears on the cover and is featured in Scan Magazine.
Feb. 2-8. The Every Night Fantasy European Tour Begins! 18 shows in 11 different countries + VIP Soundcheck Q&As that were A+++++++ (now *that* was how you do a VIP!!!). The tour starts in Glasgow and the UK leg gifted us with so many memorable moments, including wet t-shirts, chokers, and a Young Royals throwback:
Feb. 8. Lose Me (finally) hits a million streams (should have happened way sooner imo)
Feb. 10-16. The ENF Tour moves to the Continent, hitting Amsterdam and Antwerp, and the venue in Barcelona gets upgraded due to high demand. Omar performs in Paris on the 13th and is so good, people don't realize he has become desperately ill, which he admits before the Madrid show on the 15th. Luckily, in Spain, he is surrounded by family. He tones his dancing down for the next few performances to recover and still puts on a better show than most artists at full strength and in perfect health!
Feb. 16. INAB hits 1 million streams on Spotify
Feb. 17. OMR Beauty starts teasing something new, which we later learn is a DUO restock and the launch of DUO perfume oil (26/03).
Feb. 18-28. The ENF Tour continues! Italian fans finally get their long sought wish, multiple stops in Germany, and Omar is fully recovered by the time he hits Warsaw on the 21st, putting on the kind of performance Poland had been screaming/begging for! Dancer mishaps in Oslo, a new visual intro in Stockholm, amazing fits, bts shenanigans, and so much contentđđĽšđđ¤Š
March 2. The ENF Tour comes to an end with a momentous 19th show in Berlin. An unforgettable and emotional event for everyone there (### pull up stops, 2 Sabotage performance, Omar live-posting from stage, everyone in tears đĽšđđđđ).
ENF tour coverage and reviews are glowing, as they should be! đ
March 3. The infamous ENF Tour Bus bites the dust. Omar does not look amused. We never did get that bus tour (or any Snapchat postsđ¤Ł)
March 7. Galore Magazine drops the photoshoot and associated content done with Omar. Though Omar had warned us during ENF, nothing could have prepared the fandom for the đĽâ¤ď¸âđĽđ§¨of this photoshoot.
March 8. Omar attends the Mello afterparty and then goes to Spy Bar (yes, this was worth its own entry)
March 12. Talk wins Best Music Video at the Queerties
~March 15. Wasting no time after the ENF Tour ends, Omar sets off for what will be over a month of studio time in the USA. First up, LA:
March 17. Omar appears on the cover of the March issue of Disrupted magazine and the article inside discusses the Oslo ENF show.
March 24. Ten (the artist not the company) releases Waves, a song Omar wrote. Omar, promo king that he is, manages to promote both the song and OMR Beauty at the same time.
March 26. Fans experience the most chaotic OMR Beauty Live ever, ostensibly promoting the launch of DUO Oil, but really it devolved into a FaceTime conversation between Omar and Edvin where they basically forgot hundreds of fans were watching them (anyone else remember location and schedule leaks e.g., of a Super Smash Bros tournament).
March 31. Vogue Scandinavia publishes an article about Omar, photographed when the boys were vacationing in Joshua Tree after the Fall 2024 tour.
April 3. Omar's next stop is Miami. While there, he is a headliner for the YSL Beauty Love Game Event on April 5, participating in a pre-opening event, staring in a promotion video, and then being in Grazi Magazine following the main event. Did he have any inkling of the impact this event would have on his life? Given how f*cking hot he looked, not surprised that he attracted lots of attention.
The remainder of his time in Miami is spent in the studio, with family, celebrating him mom's birthday, and, let's be honest, flirting at the beach with a mysterious someone behind the camera.
April 17. For Easter, Omar participates in a Spotify Egg Hunt where an egg with merch (Intro, Duo oil, concert merch) is hidden in the city and was found by a lucky fan. I think? This one was kinda out there. But I do agree with that bunny: I also love Omar Rudberg đĽ°đĽ°đĽ°
April 19. Omar heads back to LA for more studio time amongst other fun events.
April 21. The 2025 Thirst Traps begin (đđđ˝đđ¤đđđ¤¤). The fans are not the only ones who notice. I see you Queerty.
April 22. Omar posts a GRWM video in which he promotes his Vogue Scandinavia article, Joshua Tree, OMR Beauty, YSL Beauty, Nude Project, skin care, and the importance of sun protection. I think that might be a record! đđ¤ŠđŤĄ
April 28. Omar returns to Stockholm. So much has happened and it's only been four months. Omar looks as tired as I feel đĽąđ¤
We are just getting started!
