In her new album, Short n’ Sweet, Sabrina Carpenter, ex-girlfriend of Shawn Mendes, subtly references her former boyfriend and Camila Cabello.
Sabrina has recently released this highly anticipated album following her hit singles Espresso and Please Please Please. Explaining the album title, Short n’ Sweet, Sabrina said, “I named it Short n’ Sweet not because of appearances but because of my past relationships. Though they didn’t last long, they left lasting impressions on me.”
From this statement, many fans speculate that she’s alluding to her love triangle with Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. In February 2023, Sabrina was spotted walking in Los Angeles with Shawn, where they appeared happy and affectionate. A month later, Shawn and Sabrina left together after attending Miley Cyrus’s party, but their relationship didn’t last long. By April, Shawn was seen kissing his ex-girlfriend Camila Cabello at Coachella 2023, officially rekindling their romance.
These events align perfectly with the lyrics from Coincidence, a song on Short n’ Sweet: “Last week, you didn’t have any doubts. This week, you’re holding space for her tongue in your mouth. Now she’s sending you some pictures wearing less and less. Trying to turn the past into the present tense, huh.”
This isn’t the first time Sabrina has hinted at this love triangle. In Cindy Lou Who, released in late 2023, Sabrina mentioned her boyfriend being affectionate with another girl in the desert, coincidentally referring to Coachella, which is held in the desert. Fans believe she’s alluding to the kiss between Camila and Shawn at Coachella 2023, a moment that garnered significant media attention.
Sabrina Carpenter, born in 1998, has risen as a prominent Gen Z pop phenomenon with a series of hits including Nonsense, Feather, and especially her recent summer anthems. Known for her vibrant, love-themed music, Sabrina’s style has connected strongly with her generation.
