The hottest love triangle in pop music today revolves around Sabrina Carpenter, Shawn Mendes, and Camila Cabello. This entangled trio has captivated the internet with a drama that seems straight out of a movie. Since Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes began dating in early 2023, the relationship quickly turned tumultuous. By April 2024, Mendes and Cabello were seen rekindling their romance with a very public kiss at Coachella, confirming their reunion. Sabrina’s recently released album, Short n Sweet, is now thought to reveal secrets about her relationship with Mendes, hinting that he may have kept ties with Cabello even while dating her.
In her new album, Carpenter seems to allude to Mendes’s continued attachment to Cabello, indirectly accusing Cabello of sending provocative photos to win back Mendes. This revelation transformed their breakup into one of the most discussed topics online, with fans dissecting each artist’s songs for hidden references to each other. Amid all this, fans have begun to notice an intriguing pattern: it appears Cabello may be imitating Carpenter’s style, fueling speculation about her potential obsession with her “rival.”
To address the “mistress” accusations, Cabello recently posted a TikTok video featuring a clip from her song June Gloom, which fans believe subtly “responds” to Carpenter’s insinuations. But beyond music, Cabello’s style has also started to raise eyebrows, with fans observing striking similarities between her look and Carpenter’s. Known as one of the “blonde icons” in music, Carpenter’s natural platinum blonde hair and playful yet seductive style have earned her the nickname “Barbie doll” of the industry. Cabello, traditionally known for her signature brown hair and Latin-inspired look, surprised fans by dyeing her hair platinum and adopting a new style that many say closely mirrors Carpenter’s.
Recent Instagram posts from Cabello show her sporting platinum blonde hair and poses similar to those Carpenter has used in her own social media photos. The posts display an edgy, yet feminine style marked by revealing outfits and a confident demeanor, both hallmarks of Carpenter’s aesthetic. Fans have pointed out these similarities, raising questions about whether Cabello may be borrowing from her rival’s look. Though imitation is often seen as a form of flattery, in this high-stakes love triangle, fans see it as evidence of a deeper rivalry.
Despite the drama, Cabello remains stunning in her new blonde hair and has confidently embraced her evolving style. However, many fans have noticed that the transformation coincides with her renewed relationship with Mendes, sparking a mixture of intrigue and skepticism. While Cabello initially rocked a natural brunette look, often embodying a warm and sultry Latin aesthetic, her recent style shift has left some fans feeling “something is off.”
The underlying tension between Cabello and Carpenter adds fuel to the speculation, with many seeing this as more than a simple style evolution. Although neither party has directly addressed the similarities, the continued social media posts and lyrical jabs suggest that there is still unresolved tension. The love triangle has taken on a life of its own, and with every new post, song, and style change, fans are left wondering: is this competition in style or a sign of a deeper rivalry? Regardless, the Sabrina-Carpenter-Camila-Cabello-Shawn-Mendes saga is one for the ages, and fans can’t wait to see what’s next in this whirlwind of love, style, and intrigue.
