Dylan O’Brien was ready to go go when it came to discussing Sabrina Carpenter’s new song.
The former *Teen Wolf* actor addressed rumors that the Grammy-winning singer hinted at him in her new song, “Go Go Juice,” from her album *Man’s Best Friend*.
In the song, she explains she’s drinking so she can reach out to someone. She playfully warns that when she’s had a little to drink, anyone could be on the receiving end of her call-it could be John, Larry, or even someone who sounds like ‘villain,’ depending on her mood.
As for Dylan, he was out of the loop on the supposed mention.
The star of *Twinless* said in an interview on *Watch What Happens Live* on September 9th that she hadn’t known something previously. She also playfully revealed that her name sounds like ‘villain’.
He wasn’t sure he is the person in question, either, adding, “Well, she’s never drunk dialed me.”
The 34-year-old admitted Andy Cohen was right – Sabrina might have tried calling, but he didn’t answer.
Dylan explained that he doesn’t have good cell service at his house, so the best way to reach him is through FaceTime audio.
Although rumors connected Dylan to Sabrina in September 2022, fans think her song might be about other past relationships too. Many believe all the names mentioned in the song rhyme with the name of a former boyfriend.
On X (formerly Twitter), some users have speculated that nicknames like “John” and “Larry” actually refer to celebrities. One theory suggests “John” is a code name for Shawn Mendes, who previously denied rumors about a relationship with Sabrina Carpenter in March 2023. Similarly, “Larry” is thought to be a reference to Barry Keoghan, who dated Sabrina Carpenter from 2023 to 2024.
The use of the word “gosh” seemed like a reference to Joshua Bassett, who was central to the alleged love triangle with Olivia Rodrigo.
“Oh Sabrina you are so messy,” the social media user wrote in August, “i love you.”
Even though people online are guessing, Sabrina is determined to not reveal what inspires her songs.
She told Gayle King on CBS Mornings last month that she prefers to keep her thoughts private. She explained that it’s more enjoyable to let people imagine who she’s thinking about, rather than revealing it herself.
Keep reading to find out more about Sabrina’s thoughts on her music and shows, and how she’s responded to criticism of her bolder artistic decisions.
Not everyone is a fan of Sabrina Carpenter’s love for lace and provocative lyrics. In fact, music producer Pete Waterman labeled the “Nonsense” singer’s live shows as downright “offensive.”
In January 2025, Waterman stated that women have achieved full equality and rights through hard work and struggle, but he believes they are now jeopardizing those gains.
And in her response, the Girl Meets World alum did not hold back.
In an interview with *The Sun on Sunday*, Sabrina stated her position plainly: if someone is uncomfortable with a woman who is comfortable and open about her sexuality, they shouldn’t attend her performances.
She explained that female artists have consistently faced public criticism and judgment throughout the years. She pointed to examples like Rihanna in the 2000s, Britney Spears in the 1990s, and Madonna in the 1980s, adding that she herself is now experiencing the same treatment.
Sabrina responded to criticism that her famous poses from “Juno” and suggestive lyrics were “lazy,” calling those views “completely outdated.”
The singer explained to *The Sun* that the criticism she receives boils down to discomfort with her expressing her sexuality as an artist – through her music, her style, and her performances. She pointed out that people don’t criticize her when she talks about things like self-care, body positivity, or even heartbreak – experiences common for someone her age – but immediately focus on any hint of sexuality in her work.
While Sabrina Carpenter was on her *Short n’ Sweet* Tour, some people on social media questioned whether she was actually singing live during her performances, suggesting she might have been lip-syncing.
Someone posted on TikTok in October 2024 saying that many performers rely on a mix of techniques: about 30% lip-syncing, 30% using a pre-recorded backing track, and 40% actually singing themselves.
The Disney alum, however, was quick to shoot down the claims.
Sabrina confirmed in the comments that she always sings live during her performances. She even jokingly asked if anyone would like to talk to her sound team to verify it.
It doesn’t take many words for the Grammy nominee to silence her haters.
In June 2024, someone online criticized Sabrina’s popular song, “Please Please Please.”
One user commented on X (formerly Twitter) that they’d never witnessed such a bad attempt at catching a simple fly ball, exclaiming their disbelief.
Once her song hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, she shared screenshots of the chart rankings with the caption, “I’m so incredibly grateful!”
Sabrina faced criticism after releasing her “Feather” music video, which was filmed inside the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Brooklyn with the church’s permission. Her account of what happened differed from the official statement released by Monsignor Jamie J. Gigantiello.
As a lifestyle expert, I often advise clients to always follow established guidelines, and it seems a recent situation at a local parish highlights why. Their pastor shared that when a filming project was proposed, they didn’t quite adhere to the diocese’s usual process. Specifically, the script and planned scenes weren’t reviewed beforehand, as the policy requires. It’s a good reminder for everyone – whether it’s a film shoot or any project – that sticking to established procedures can prevent misunderstandings and ensure a smooth process.
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 Madison Square Garden in New York City in September 2024, Sabrina hinted that the controversy surrounding her “Feather” music video was connected to a federal investigation involving New York City mayor Eric Adams. The pastor who had approved the video-despite claiming he didn’t know it contained inappropriate material-was demoted, which then led to a wider review of the church’s operations.
The diocese informed the *New York Post* that they’ve potentially discovered a link between the Parish and Adams stemming from business interactions between the pastor and key members of Adams’ administration, which is currently under scrutiny. The mayor is facing charges of bribery and wire fraud in this case, but maintains his innocence.
And to that, Sabrina said, “Should we talk about how I got the mayor indicted or…”
