It appears like she’s taking a swipe at ex Shawn Mendes and at his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Camila Cabello.
Did you recognize that Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes had been a factor?
Though Sabrina Carpenter is at the moment relationship Barry Keoghan, in early 2023, she grew to become linked with one other heartthrob: Shawn Mendes.
Famously, Shawn and Camila Cabello have been getting collectively and breaking apart repeatedly over the previous a number of years. Many folks didn’t even understand that he and Sabrina had been an merchandise.
In February 2023, shady but usually correct gossip weblog DeuxMoi alleged that Shawn and Sabrina had been hanging out.
Within weeks, the 2 had been attending events collectively — and, maybe extra importantly, leaving them collectively.
At the time, the 2 appeared to be avoiding relationship scrutiny. They prevented confirming something.
That mentioned, there have been indicators. In addition to them going locations collectively, Shawn wore Sabrina Carpenter’s birthtone round his neck at a Vanity Fair party. Subtle, however not secretive.
‘We should not relationship’
Shawn Mendes has a lenghty historical past of flatly denying relationships (relatively than merely avoiding the query). He even did this with Camila Cabello earlier than the 2 began posting their awkward makeouts for the world to see.
So when he mentioned “We should not relationship,” about Sabrina Carpenter throughout an interview with RTL Boulevard, he left followers confused … however not essentially stunned.
Some even felt that Shawn was taking part in video games with sentence construction to keep away from straight answering the query. Either means, he was clearly not confirming something with Sabrina. Maybe to maintain issues personal … or possibly for different, much less honorable motives.
Whatever the case was on the time when Shawn seemingly denied that he and Sabrina Carpenter had been a factor, his phrases grew to become true quickly sufficient.
In April 2023, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello had been kissing at Coachella.
Different {couples} have completely different boundaries with kissing and intercourse. But except there’s a complete lot that we don’t learn about Sabrina, Shawn, and Camila, it was fairly secure for followers to imagine that this meant that he and Sabrina had been over.
It appears like Sabrina Carpenter is shading Camila Cabello; is that this a feud?
In “Coincidence,” it appears like Sabrina is referring to an unnamed girl selecting up on Sabrina’s relationship … and swooping in to intervene.
“The second I put my head in your chest/She knew, she’s received an actual sixth sense/Now her names comes up as soon as, then it comes up twice/And with out her even bein’ right here, she’s again in your life,” Sabrina’s lyrics accuse.
Later comes the road: “What a shock, your telephone simply died/Your automobile drove itself from LA to her thighs/Palm Springs appears good, however who’s by your aspect?”
It’s clearly potential that Sabrina Carpenter’s lyrics aren’t about Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. It could possibly be, because the tune title mentions, an astounding “coincidence.”
But it’s clear that Sabrina has seen Shawn and Camila’s rekindled romance. She’s been liking posts about them on social media right here and there.
Camila Cabello has not mentioned Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes’ historical past. She has, to her credit score, put ahead “Espresso” as Song of the Summer. (Even although, clearly, “Good Luck Babe” is the true SotS)
It additionally appears like she’s simply roasting Shawn Mendes (which is at all times morally right)
“Dumb & Poetic” is one other Sabrina Carpenter monitor. This one isn’t about an alleged Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello feud in any respect. Instead, it takes purpose at a self-obsessed know-it-all mansplainer who’s obnoxiously pretentious.
It’s not essentially about Shawn Mendes. There are varied web theories pointing the finger at different guys who is perhaps as unbearable because the lyrics describe.
But “I promise the mushrooms aren’t altering your life” might, probably, be about Shawn Mendes. He has opened up about utilizing psychedelics and his curiosity in holistic drugs.
During a prolonged interview with Zane Lowe, Sabrina Carpenter spoke — vaguely — about what had fueled a few of her lyrics.
“I thought of a few of these relationships. How a few of them had been the shortest I’ve ever had they usually affected me probably the most. And I thought of the best way that I reply to conditions,” Sabrina defined “Sometimes it is extremely good, and typically it’s not very good.”
Sabrina added: “Hence songs like ‘Dumb & Poetic’, a delicate acoustic ballad that’s additionally a blistering takedown of a man who masks his sleazy tendencies with remedy buzzwords and intellectual report assortment.”
Whether that’s Shawn Mendes or another person … ouch. Happy to listen to her give this dude a superb roasting. It appears like he wants it.
