Sabrina Carpenter is back, and she’s serving up the sass on a silver platter with her new song “Taste.” This isn’t just any breakup anthem—it’s a spicy, simmering tea party where everyone’s invited to speculate about her ex… while she stirs the pot with a spoonful of sarcasm.
The track is the third single from her brand spanking new album Short ‘n Sweet, which is out now and as sugary as a pack of gum, but with enough attitude to give you a cavity.
Now, let’s get to the juicy part: “Taste” isn’t just aimed at her ex—it’s for the new girl, who apparently snatched up Sabrina’s leftovers like she was picking up the last croissant at brunch. And oh, the pettiness is delicious.
In the chorus, Sabrina sings, “Well, I heard you’re back together and if that’s true / You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you.” Translation: the ex might’ve moved on, but Sabrina left her lipstick stain all over his life… and maybe his shirts.
Speaking of shirts, Sabrina goes on to reveal that when she broke up with this guy, she swiped half his wardrobe—because who needs closure when you can have free hoodies? Now he’s walking around like a Target mannequin missing half his stock. Genius move, if you ask me.
And don’t think for a second that she’s forgotten about his newfound sense of humor. “He’s funny, now all his jokes hit different / Guess who he learned that from?” Yep, that’s right—she’s taking full credit for turning him from a stand-up wannabe into a comedy king. Basically, she’s saying, “You’re welcome, world.”
Now, before the rumor mill starts churning at full speed, yes, people are probably going to assume this song is about Joshua Bassett and his multi-talented ex, Olivia Rodrigo. But let’s be real, that triangle was so long ago that it might as well be ancient history—like, “VHS tape” ancient.
So, is this Sabrina serving drama or just some really good tea? Either way, grab a cup, sit back, and let the lyric video do the talking.
