Talk about a full-circle moment—Sabrina Carpenter just showed up to support Olivia Rodrigo at her London concert, years after the two were rumored to be in a love triangle.
The 26-year-old “Manchild” singer was spotted at Olivia’s BST Hyde Park show on Friday night (June 27), watching the performance from a private suite with her older sister, Sarah Carpenter, and close friend Paloma Sandoval.
The sighting came as a shock to fans, given the history between Sabrina and Olivia. Back in 2020, Olivia dated High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Joshua Bassett, but after they split, Joshua was seen with Sabrina just a few months later.
Things got messy in 2021 when Olivia dropped “driver’s license,” a track widely believed to be about Joshua leaving her for Sabrina. Just weeks later, Sabrina released “Skin,” which seemed to be her musical response to the drama.
In March 2021, Olivia addressed the rumors in an interview and said, “I actually don’t know her at all. I think we’ve met once or twice in passing, but I’ve never had a conversation with her.”
For years, fans speculated about tension between the two singers—but this latest sighting seems to signal those days are long behind them.
Now, with both women thriving in their music careers and clearly mature enough to move past old drama, fans are hopeful this marks the beginning of something new—a mutual respect, if not friendship.
And really, who doesn’t love a pop culture redemption arc?
