There’s been a lot of chatter about pop star divas Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter. And why not? Sabrina recently opened for Taylor’s Eras Tour, while fans haven’t seen someone else or her closest pal, Selena Gomez, do that for Swift.
This has left Swifties to dig under the mud to figure out the real meaning behind Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter’s blossoming friendship. Are they real friends? Or is Taylor Swift hiding something from the public eye? Since Sabrina joined Swift’s girl gangs, fans have been coming up with various intense yet thrilling speculations.
While Taylor Swift has become the most talked-about subject since she hit the billionaire line, fans can’t keep calm about her growing association with Sabrina. So, let’s dig into the matter to find out what fans—or, as we can say, Taylor Swift—are cooking.
From No One To Taylor Swift’s VIP Circle: How Did Sabrina Carpenter Enter Tay’s Girl Gang?
There’s no denying that Sabrina Carpenter is a big fan of Taylor Swift. She has been covering her songs since she was 9. However, the singer never expected she would join Taylor Swift’s girl gang. Well, it’s like a dream come true, at least for Sabrina Carpenter. However, their friendship seems to be built on Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift’s broken relationship.
Sabrina first met Taylor backstage in 2017, but it took Taylor four years to recognize Sabrina’s worth. In November 2021, the Nonsense singer received a Red care package and Swift’s signed letter. Soon after, their friendship journey began as the two were photographed together at the August 2022 VMA after-party.
Later, in November 2022, the duo was spotted again at the 2022 American Music Awards. Soon, it became clear that the pop singers had grown closer and even started spending more time together. Sabrina and Taylor were spotted at various events together, whether it was a 2023 Grammys after-party or a football game.
The duo never left each other’s side. While their friendship blossomed like no other, fans were quick to point out a subtle clue that hints at a hidden animosity. Now, let’s take a look at what fans have speculated so far.
Taylor And Olivia Rodrigo’s Bad Blood Begin In 2021
In early 2021, Taylor Swift suddenly started supporting Olivia Rodrigo. She even called Olivia her baby and said she was proud of the Driver’s Licence singer. However, their relationship was a bumpy ride. As time passed, things turned nasty between them, and in October 2021, Olivia faced copyright issues when she dropped Deja Vu.
Since her track sounded familiar to one of Swift’s versions, Taylor’s team quickly targeted Olivia, who later cleared that she was influenced by Swift’s Cruel Summer. While it was just a tribute to Taylor, things turned darker between them, and Swift finally stepped into the mess. This made Olivia and Taylor’s relationship soured.
As time passed, Taylor and Olivia’s relationship strained more. Olivia dropped some tracks that fans speculated were about Taylor Swift. Though Swift didn’t comment on the same, fans believed the Bad Blood singer had already made her move. Like how? By bringing Sabrina Carpenter into the picture.
Taylor Swift Brought Sabrina Into Olivia’s Feud
Sabrina and Olivia had a year-long feud, and the love triangle drama brought much hate to Carpenter’s plate. Olivia dropped her Driver’s Licence, which was supposed to be on Sabrina. Soon after, Sabrina dropped a diss track, Skin. While both singers refused to comment on their feud, fans believed Taylor Swift used this beef against Olivia.
Since Sabrina was receiving hate from Olivia’s fans for stealing the Deja Vu singer’s love, it became difficult for her to rise to fame. But just when things started to mess up in Sabrina’s life, Taylor entered as her guardian angel. She took Sabrina under her wings, which later helped the Feather singer clear her name.
While neither Swift nor Olivia talked about each other after the copyright issue, fans believe things are far more dramatic than it looks. A Redditor took to the discussion forum to discuss and point out the clues, which made it look like Taylor Swift did this on purpose.
Taylor Swift is a renowned singer, and fighting with a singer in her early 20s would be bad for Swift’s reputation. Thus, to avoid such a negative limelight, Taylor Swift decided to give Olivia healthy competition by bringing Sabrina into the picture.
Many believe Taylor is training Sabrina to compete with Olivia, who is a self-made singer. Well, there’s no denying that, too. Olivia created her name during the outburst of the COVID pandemic, while nobody was aware of Sabrina.
Though she had a little fandom, Sabrina’s popularity increased after Taylor took Sabrina under her wing. Thus, many think Taylor Swift decided to use all the Olivia-Sabrina feud drama against Olivia. It will be fun for her (as fans speculated) to watch Olivia struggling to win back her spot.
Psychological War
In the award shows, Olivia is always in the mainstream, while Sabrina used to sit in the back row. However, since Sabrina and Taylor Swift’s friendship blossomed, Sabrina’s seat has been moving one row forward after another.
Now, the On My Way singer is seated next to Taylor Swift. Not only this, but Taylor also silently offered Sabrina a huge album, while she never did this for her bestie, Selena Gomez. This has led fans to believe that Taylor has been favoring Sabrina a lot just to teach Olivia a lesson. As for Olivia, she avoids all sorts of negativity with ease and grace.
Even at the 2022 VMAs, the Obsessed singer left after her performance. But one thing to note here is that Taylor danced and enjoyed herself during Olivia’s performance. Thus, this led people to believe that perhaps the singers were on good terms.
However, an eagle-eyed fan pointed out that Taylor Swift’s expression was a bit different. She looked jealous, and it was obvious that she didn’t like Olivia. In fact, Olivia left the event after her performance, leaving many to wonder whether things were indifferent between them.
Taylor Is An Empath
Another theory suggests that Taylor is an empath. She feels pity for Sabrina as the singer faces backlash after Olivia drops her diss album, which indicates that Sabrina stole the Vampire singer’s boyfriend. So, to amend, she is hanging out with Sabrina.
But another theory suggests that Taylor is using the Wildside singer to take revenge on Olivia. That’s because the Blank Space singer never encouraged or promoted Olivia’s song. However, she did promote Sabrina’s music to a broader audience.
In fact, Taylor helped Sabrina land a big project, and she only gave her blessings to Olivia. What do you think? Is there a hidden drama behind Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter’s friendship?
