Recently, Sabrina Carpenter officially released her new album *Short n Sweet,* which includes a total of 12 tracks. The album features two breakout hits that have been dominating the music scene lately—*Espresso* and *Please Please Please.* The tracks in *Short n Sweet* reflect Sabrina Carpenter's personal experiences with past relationships that, although brief, were filled with unforgettable memories.
Born in 1998, Sabrina Carpenter has quickly risen as a Gen Z pop phenomenon, known for her hit tracks like *Nonsense* and *Feather,* as well as the aforementioned summer anthems. She has built a reputation for producing feel-good, upbeat songs mostly centered around themes of love.

As an emerging star, Sabrina Carpenter has caught everyone’s attention with her new album, *Short n Sweet.* After listening to the album, some fans speculate that *Short n Sweet* may reveal details of Sabrina’s rumored relationship with Shawn Mendes and the alleged tension between her and Camila Cabello. At 9 PM on August 23 (Vietnam time), Sabrina dropped the music video for *Taste.*
The video has sparked theories among fans, with many suggesting it alludes to Shawn Mendes rekindling his relationship with his ex, Camila Cabello, while he was still dating Sabrina. *Taste* explores the theme of a guy who, despite having a new girlfriend, remains hung up on his ex.
Sabrina writes in the song: “I heard you're back together and if that's true; You'll just have to taste me when he's kissin' you” a lyric which fans believe references Shawn and Camila’s kiss at Coachella, turning it into something of a joke. She also hints at the two sharing clothes, saying, "He's even wearing my clothes," adding another layer to the perceived drama.
In another track, *Coincidence,* Carpenter sings, “Last week, you didn’t have any doubts. This week, you’re holding space for her ton-gue in your mo-uth. Now she’s sendin' you some pictures wearin' less and less,” further fueling the speculations.
In late February 2023, Shawn Mendes and Sabrina Carpenter were seen hand-in-hand on the streets of Los Angeles. The following month, the two attendedCami Miley Cyrus’s party as a couple.
However, by April, Shawn had caused a media frenzy when he was photographed sharing a reconciliatory kiss with Camila Cabello at Coachella 2023. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, one of music’s hottest couples, had originally begun dating in 2019 after their collaboration on *Senorita.*
Their relationship ended on a tumultuous note, with both releasing songs that fans interpreted as messages to one another after the breakup.
The love triangle involving Sabrina, Shawn, and Camila
The love triangle involving Sabrina, Shawn, and Camila has once again brought this famous romance back into the spotlight. With Sabrina’s new album, fans are revisiting the past year’s events, and both Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes are back in the headlines.
While some are quick to label Camila as "the other woman," fans have resurrected Sabrina’s 2023 song *cindy lou who* to support these claims.
In *cindy lou who,* Sabrina sings, “Maybe he met you somewhere in the desert / While he was soul-searchin’, he found someone better.” This line appears to align with the Coachella event, famously held in the desert, where Camila and Shawn publicly reunited with their kiss. With this album, Sabrina Carpenter has once again drawn attention to her love life and left fans wondering about the true story behind her lyrics.
