Apparently, Camila Cabello and Sabrina Carpenter are in the middle of what might just be the shadiest pop star showdown since… well, the last time two pop stars had beef. But this time, it all started with a single word. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the “Taste-Gate.”
So, if you’ve been living under a rock without Wi-Fi, let me catch you up. Fans have been spinning conspiracy theories that Sabrina’s new album Short n’ Sweet (which, let’s be honest, sounds like the name of a candy bar) might secretly be about Camila’s on-again-off-again-on-again-off-again-more-confusing-than-a-rollercoaster relationship with Shawn Mendes. Remember when Sabrina was linked to Shawn for like two seconds while he and Camila were “on a break”? Well, ever since that, fans have been searching for clues in Sabrina’s lyrics like they’re auditioning for a role on CSI: Pop Star Edition.
One of the tracks in question is Taste—and let’s just say, fans have developed the sleuthing skills of Sherlock Holmes trying to connect the dots between that song and Camila’s Senorita duet with Shawn.
Fast forward to the iHeartRadio Music Festival of 2024 (aka the battleground of the century), where Camila strutted onto the stage to sing Senorita like the absolute queen of drama she is. Everything was going smoothly until—wait for it—she skipped over the word “taste” in the lyrics! Yep, that’s right, the word “taste,” which is coincidentally the title of Sabrina’s song. And now, TikTok detectives everywhere are losing their collective minds. “SHE DID IT ON PURPOSE,” they scream into the comment sections, “IT’S A DISS TRACK DISGUISED AS A PERFORMANCE.”
Others, with a bit more Zen in their lives, are just sitting back with a bag of chips, typing, “Everyone is so messy, I’m living for it.”
To add to the chaos, one particularly enthusiastic fan declared, “This is what pop music USED to be about! We’re so back!” Like, seriously, when did throwing lyrical shade at your rivals become a nostalgic trip down memory lane?
So, are Camila and Sabrina actually feuding? Are they just trolling us all for laughs? Will Shawn Mendes make a surprise appearance on Judge Judy to settle this once and for all? Who knows! But one thing’s for sure—if there’s more cryptic drama coming, the internet is ready, caffeinated, and already halfway through writing a thread about it.
