Sabrina Carpenter has just dropped her new album, Short n’ Sweet, and it’s creating a lot of buzz. With catchy tracks like ‘Please, Please, Please’ and ‘Espresso,’ she’s grabbing attention with her fresh sound and straightforward lyrics.
The album, featuring twelve songs, dives into her experiences with short-term relationships and shows a more mature side of her, moving away from her Disney image. Inspired by Hollywood icons like Christina Aguilera, Sabrina is making a clear statement about her place in today’s pop music.
However, that’s not the only thing making headlines; what’s really sparking excitement on social media is the unexpected twist of having Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello featured in the album’s story.
Yes, it looks like Sabrina and Shawn had a secret romance early in 2023 that they tried to keep private. They were seen together a few times, including in Los Angeles and on a horseback riding date. Just when things seemed to be going smoothly, Camila Cabello came back into Shawn’s life, leaving Sabrina heartbroken.
Before this unexpected love triangle, Shawn and Camila were one of the most talked-about couples in the spotlight. So, when rumors emerged about Shawn dating Sabrina, comparisons were inevitable.
In her song ‘Coincidence,’ Sabrina Carpenter seems to directly address her feelings about the relationship, sensing Camila’s influence at every turn: “The moment I laid my head on your chest, she knew, she had a sixth sense. Even though she’s not here, she (Camila Cabello) is back in your life,” she sings, making it clear that the situation was quite challenging.”
Shawn Mendes in ‘Taste’
Short n’ Sweet is a pop album that takes aim at all the ‘fuck boys’ who have broken hearts. Alongside the album, Sabrina Carpenter has released the music video for ‘Taste,’ starring Jenna Ortega, one of today’s leading scream queens in horror. The video also pays homage to Death Becomes Her, a 1992 dark comedy that features a rivalry between Helen (Goldie Hawn) and Madeline (Meryl Streep) as they fight for the affection of Ernst (Bruce Willis).
With its blend of humor and gore, the video shows both Sabrina and Jenna’s characters going to extreme lengths to outdo each other. Fans have noted that ‘Taste’ seems to be aimed at Shawn Mendes, with the video representing him, Camila Cabello, and Sabrina Carpenter herself.
“I heard you’re back together and if that’s true, You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you […] He pins you down on the carpet. Makes paintings with his tongue. Hе’s funny, now all his jokes hit different. Guеss who he learned that from? […] Every time you close your eyes and feel his lips, you’re feelin’ mine. And every time you breathe his air, just know I was already there. You can have him if you like, I’ve been there, done that once or twice. And singin’ ‘bout it don’t mean I care. Yeah, I know I’ve been known to share…”
