As a longtime fan of Sabrina Carpenter and having followed her career since her days on “Girl Meets World,” I must say that her new album has certainly piqued my curiosity. The lyrics of her song “Coincidence” seem to hint at a love triangle involving herself, Shawn Mendes, and Camilla Cabello, which is quite intriguing.


Fans of Sabrina Carpenter are speculating that the enigmatic former love interest she sings about in her latest single, “Taste,” could be a well-known heartthrob singer whom she previously dated.

Following the release of her third song, titled “Short n’ Sweet,” from her fresh album this week, there has been much conjecture among fans regarding the unknown former lover she refers to as having left a lasting impact.

In a fresh new offering, she presents an infectious and lively tune accompanied by a satirical horror-themed music video. The song’s words aim jabs at her former boyfriend’s current partner, serving as a cautionary note to her.

In a new twist, it seems you’ve reconciled, and if that’s so, my only retort will be for you to sample me whenever he’s locking lips with you, Carpenter, aged 25, expresses in her biting lyrics during the chorus.

In the bridge, she says to the other woman, “Feel free to take him if it suits you. I’ve had my share a few times before.”

Following the unveiling, her supporters flocked to various social platforms to express their conjectures, hinting that her songs might be alluding to a love entanglement involving Shawn Mendes, as well as his intermittent romance with Camila Cabello.

Quite a few of her followers noticed that the actors chosen for her slasher-themed, mock horror music video, where Jenna Ortega is the star, bear a striking resemblance to the former Senorita singers and exes.

Prior to that, it was speculated that Carpenter was in a relationship with Mendes following numerous reports in February 2023 that suggested they were an item. They were often seen together and their relationship seemed confirmed until Carpenter briefly reconciled with Cabello for about six weeks.

Evidence that proves this theory is in Carpenter’s album name itself, some of her fans said. 

Following the Espresso hit-maker’s statement, it was clarified that “Short n’ Sweet” doesn’t solely refer to her physical stature, but also encompasses some of her past relationships.

In her recent interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, she shared that she pondered over certain relationships and noticed they were among the briefest she’s experienced but left the greatest impact on her.

Fans of hers likewise cited her music video, where she not just shares a kiss with Ortega, but exits his funeral hand-in-hand, even chuckling over the moments they squandered on him.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been delving into the lyrics of Carpenter’s latest album, and it appears she subtly hinted at a few intriguing situations that have sparked whispers about a love triangle involving herself, Mendes, and Cabello.

On a different song, the carpenter openly criticizes an old flame for rekindling a past relationship, which is aptly named “Sharpest Tool.”

Some people among her fanbase assumed that she might have been making subtle jabs at Mendes, following the news of him being seen kissing Cabello in April 2023 – a development that came only a few months after rumors about his relationship with Carpenter.

In a different tone, the line could be rephrased as: ‘We seldom discuss your discovery of faith at your former partner’s residence, you always kept the phone screen down, it appears that suddenly, I’ve become the person you despise.’ She expressed this melodically.

In a similar vein, it appears she subtly criticized again with this comment: ‘I am aware that you may not be the most intellectually gifted / A hammer might serve better purpose in our toolbox than you / We shared intimacy, I got acquainted with your closest companions / Yet, a bird passing by seems to wipe your memory clean.’

A song from her recently released album, that came out on Friday, seemed to revolve around a love triangle as well.

In the lyrics of her song “Coincidence”, Carpenter implies that her partner’s former girlfriend appears to intrude frequently, and she seems to have an uncanny intuition or ability to sense when they are together.

1. First, her name appears only once, then it appears twice.

Additionally, she appears to have addressed Mendes and Cabello’s reunion during Coachella in April 2023 on the same track as well.

1. What a shock, your phone has suddenly run out of power / The vehicle seemed to operate autonomously from Los Angeles all the way here / Palm Springs appears charming, yet who’s there with you? / Oh dear, she seems to bear a resemblance to the girl you have left behind.

One X user wrote that the Espresso hitmaker’s new album is ‘absolutely fantastic,’ adding that ‘it’s so funny to think about how it’s literally about the love triangle between her, Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello.’ 

Another fan made a comparison about how the male actor playing the boyfriend in the music video looked like Mendes. 

Towards the closing moments of the music video, you’ll find a scene where the boyfriend is swimming in the pool. This scene is likened to Mendes’ album cover.

It has been speculated by some people that most of the songs on Sabrina Carpenter’s new album are about her and Shawn’s rumored relationship. It appears as though this relationship meant more to her than we initially thought, but he may have dismissed it quickly upon Camilla’s return.
