Sabrina Carpenter’s Jaw-dropping Lyrics in ‘Short n’ Sweet’ Have Fans Making a Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello Connection and the Hints are Too Strong to Deny
- Sabrina Carpenter follows in the footsteps of Taylor Swift as her latest album takes a hit at Shawn Mendes.
- Carpenter's Coincidence is speculated to be a direct hit at Mendes and his partner Camila Cabello.
- Besides Coincidence, there seems to be another song on Carpenter's album that refers to Mendes.
Sabrina Carpenter has often credited Taylor Swift as the inspiration behind her journey as a musician. To her credit, the Cruel Summer singer not only took Carpenter under her wing but also had her as the opening act of her sold-out Eras Tour concerts. The situation has been a win-win for fans of the two pop stars.
The Nonsense singer’s love life has been as happening as Swift’s if not more. Her relationship with Joshua Bassett was highly publicized, and her conflict with his ex-girlfriend, Olivia Rodrigo, played a huge role in it.
Apparently, Carpenter has found herself stuck in yet another love triangle, and this time the target of her call-outs is Shawn Mendes, with whom she had a short fling. One song on her latest album, Short n’ Sweet, has particularly convinced fans about the inspiration being Mendes and on-again-off-again girlfriend Camila Cabello.
Fans Believe Sabrina Carpenter’s Song Coincidence on Short n’ Sweet is About Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello
Following in the footsteps of her mentor Taylor Swift, Carpenter has exhibited an incredible talent for sneaking in references to her personal life and not so subtly calling out her ex-boyfriends, which is something Swift is quite famous for. This is not very shocking since it is quite common for artists to express their emotions through their work.
Although neither of these artists openly reveals the inspiration behind these songs, they leave enough hints for their fans to catch on to exactly what or who they are implying. In fact, it does not them much time to dissect the hints and find out the muse.
Carpenter’s album Short n’ Sweet has been no different as hours after its release, the internet was brimming with speculations that the song Coincidence is about Mendes reigniting his romance with Camila Cabello shortly after breaking up with the Espresso singer. Some of the lyrics are as follows:
What a surprise, your phone just died
Your car drove itself from L.A. to her thighs
Palm Springs looks nice, but who’s by your side?
These lyrics seem to allude to the kiss between Mendes and Cabello at Coachella, which means that Carpenter had been following their relationship. Here is what some fans had to say about it:
These are all speculations about Carpenter throwing shade on Camila Cabello for reconnecting with Shawn Mendes in no time after their quiet breakup.
Coincidence Might Not Be the Only Song Sabrina Carpenter Wrote About Shawn Mendes
The release of this album and the songs being speculated to be about Shawn Mendes was a revelatory moment for some fans who were entirely unaware of the couple’s short-lived and private fling. However, last year, a source had claimed to Entertainment Tonight that they were indeed seeing each other.
That said, Coincidence does not seem to be the only song the Please Please Please singer penned about Mendes. Fans have also found clues about the Wonder singer in the song Dumb & Poetic.
Some of these lyrics seem to be alluding to the fact that Mendes admitted to having “tried mushrooms” at a concert in London (via BBC). However, not so long ago, her ex-boyfriend Joshua Bassett also said something similar so some fingers have also been pointed at him when it comes to who this song is about.
Short n’ Sweet is available for streaming on Spotify.
