As a die-hard fan, I’ve always been curious about Sabrina Carpenter‘s love life, but here’s the deal – her thoughts on relationship speculation are nothing short of dismissive. To me, it feels like she finds such discussions pointless or perhaps even foolish.
Approximately six months following reports of the split between the “Manchild” singer and Barry Keoghan, she subtly hinted at her current romantic situation.
She playfully inquired of Rolling Stone if she was only focusing on one thing at the moment (in an interview released on June 12). “I’m living the life of a 25-year-old currently,” she said, “whatever that entails.
Moreover, rather than mentioning any specific individuals with psychiatric backgrounds or endearing dialects, Carpenter, celebrating her 26th birthday recently, expressed her views on the impact of her romantic relationships on her professional journey.
She clarified her response to online speculations by saying, “What you’re suggesting didn’t occur at the time you claim, but it did actually happen. You seem to be overlooking some crucial facts,” she pointed out. She also added that it can be quite challenging for young women to manage their personal relationships while dealing with the opinions of strangers who are not directly involved in those relationships.
To put it another way, despite describing herself as unfazed by comments about her relationship, the Grammy-winning artist acknowledged her sense of accomplishment in handling the adverse effects of her celebrity status with grace.
She suggested that if those who are quick to comment on her observations had a similar magnifying glass focused on their own lives, perhaps they wouldn’t be quite as articulate as she is. It’s a classic observation, but it’s disheartening that it remains relevant today.
Indeed, Olivia Rodrigo’s relationship with Keoghan, which lasted for a year, is not the first one to garner attention. Back in 2021, it appeared that the popular song “driver’s license” by Olivia Rodrigo hinted at a love triangle between her, Sabrina and Joshua Bassett. The lyrics, mentioning a “blonde girl,” seemed to suggest this connection.
In response, Sabrina subtly tackled the questionable line in “Skin,” a track she published shortly afterwards, where she sings, “Perhaps ‘blonde’ was the only option for a rhyme.
Regarding her motivation to reply, she confessed to Rolling Stone, “I didn’t consciously act that way,” she said. “That time taught me to simply rely on myself and trust that things will fall into place as they should. I learned to believe that relationships enter your life for a purpose, even if you don’t understand the reason at the moment, but you eventually come to see it.
Rest assured, Sabrina is no longer thinking about all that nonsense.
“She mentioned that she never ponders over the Disney star love triangle. As for her hair color, she’s attempted being a brunette but felt it didn’t suit her, so she has chosen to stick with her current look.

As a die-hard enthusiast of Sabrina Carpenter, I can’t help but feel a tad defensive when I hear comments about her unique style and bold lyrics. To be precise, music mogul Pete Waterman once criticized her performances as overtly “offensive.” But to me, every note she sings, every lace detail in her outfits, is pure artistry, expressing the depth of her emotions that resonate deeply with her fans.
Waterman stated in January 2025 that women have gained all their liberties and rights. He believes they earned these through hard-fought battles, yet now they seem to be discarding them, as he sees it.
And in her response, the Girl Meets World alum did not hold back.
In the interview she gave to The Sun on Sunday, Sabrina stated that her message has consistently been straightforward: “If you’re uncomfortable with a woman who embraces her sexuality boldly, then perhaps my performances aren’t for you.
She went on to say, “Female musicians have been subjected to shame for a long time. In the 2000s, it was Rihanna, in the 1990s, it was Britney Spears, and in the 1980s, it was Madonna—and now it’s my turn.
To those labeling Sabrina’s iconic “Juno” stances and explicit lyrics as “lackadaisical,” Sabrina defended against such “outdated” views.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: “I was clarifying that there seems to be an issue when it comes to me expressing my sexuality in my music, style, and performances. It’s interesting that those who criticize don’t seem bothered by discussions on self-care, body positivity, or heartbreak – common experiences for a 25-year-old. Instead, they focus on the sensual aspects of my work.
During Sabrina’s “Short n’ Sweet” Tour, people on social media expressed their doubts about whether the “Espresso” singer was singing live during her performances.
In an October 2024 TikTok video, someone commented, “I don’t enjoy saying this, but it seems like the performance is 30% lip-syncing, 30% backing track, and 40% actual singing.
The Disney alum, however, was quick to shoot down the claims.
Sabrina asserted in her comment that she sings live without any exceptions during all performances, and suggested discussing the matter with her sound technicians.
It doesn’t take many words for the Grammy nominee to silence her haters.
In June 2024, someone expressing themselves online voiced their disagreement with Sabrina’s popular song “Please Please Please.
The user posted on X (formerly Twitter), “It’s rare to see someone struggle with a simple task like this.” They added, “Wow.
Once her song hit the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, she shared images comparing the charts along with heartfelt remarks, writing “I’m so incredibly grateful, grateful, grateful.
Following criticism over her acclaimed “Feather” music video shot inside the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (where she had obtained permission to film), Sabrina’s account of events contrasted with that presented by Msgr. Jamie J. Gigantiello in his formal statement.
According to the pastor from that time, the parish failed to adhere to the diocesan guidelines for filming on church grounds. These rules encompass a careful examination of the footage and the script.
But Sabrina refuted his claims with one simple sentence.
“We got approval in advance,” Sabrina quipped to Variety at the time, “and Jesus was a carpenter.”
During a performance at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in September 2024, Sabrina hinted that her “Feather” music video controversy had been connected to the federal investigation involving then-New York Mayor Eric Adams. The clergyman who gave his approval for Sabrina’s “Feather” video—who claimed he was unaware of its explicit content—was subsequently demoted, triggering a wider administrative review of the church.
According to their statement in the review, the diocese hinted at a possible association between the Parish and Adams, suggesting business transactions could have occurred between the pastor and high-ranking officials within Adams’ troubled administration. (It should be noted that the mayor is currently facing charges for alleged bribery and fraudulent schemes in this ongoing case, but he has pleaded not guilty.)
And to that, Sabrina said, “Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted or…”
