Camila Cabello hits back at Sabrina Carpenter's song about Shawn Mendes' romance in a recent performance

All eyes remain on Shawn Mendes, Sabrina CarpenterAnd Camila CabelloThe three musicians have attracted media attention not only through their latest music releases, but also after online users noticed that some of their songs hinted at a brief romance between Sabrina and Shawn that took place before Camila rekindled her relationship with the singer in April 2023.

The rumored drama became clearer after Sabrina released the music video for her single 'Taste' with Jenna Ortega“I heard you guys are back together, and if that's true, you've got to taste me when he kisses you,” sings Sabrina as she reenacts the 1992 cult film Death Becomes Her.

Most recently, Camila released a song titled “Can Friends Kiss?” as part of the “Magic City Edition” of her album “C,XOXO.” The song seems to address the drama. “I don't like your new girl, she don't move me / When you talk about her, I get moody,” Camila sings, with fans pointing out similarities to Sabrina's song “Coincidence.”

Meanwhile, Sabrina sings, “Trying to turn the past into the present,” adding, “And you lost all your common sense (You lost all your common sense) / The way you told me the truth, minus seven percent (Minus seven percent) / What a coincidence.”

Fast forward to Camila's performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival: Camila sang “Señorita,” which fans remember as a collaboration with Shawn. “You say we're just friends, but friends don't know what you taste like,” the musician sang, but this time she left out the word “taste.”

“THAT SILENCE WAS LOUD,” one fan wrote, while someone else commented, “Wait I love the mess.” The viral clip left fans wondering if the drama will continue, especially after Camila revealed the inspiration behind her outfit at the MTV VMAs.

“So today I have something like a funeral for everything negative, everything that is not good for me. Death to negative things, death to people and situations that try to bring you down,” she said on the red carpet.
