Sabrina Carpenter Has 6 Blunt Words For What She Thinks Of Drivers License Drama Now

Sabrina CarpenterSabrina Carpenter is opening up about a very public drama she was dragged into before her breakthrough moment.Long before she was topping the charts with hits like Espresso and Please Please Please, or even bending the ear of pop fans with Nonsense and Feather, you may have first heard Sabrina’s name in connection with another of her musical peers, Olivia Rodrigo.Back in 2021, Olivia released her debut single Drivers License, which quickly became a number one hit on both sides of the Atlantic.The hit song sees the future Glastonbury headliner reflecting on a relationship with someone she’d previously struggled to trust, leading to speculation it was inspired by her ex, Joshua Bassett.Meanwhile, the lyric “you’re probably with that blonde girl, who always made me doubt” led some internet sleuths to point to another Disney star, Sabrina.Olivia RodrigoFour years on, Rolling Stone asked Sabrina during a recent interview whether the graft she’s put in over the last few years was partly inspired by her desire to move on from the Drivers License debacle.“I didn’t really intentionally do that,” she said. “All I knew was that it wasn’t going to stop me from doing what I loved, ever. That’s kind of how I’ve always felt.“Sometimes, it’s about how you are able to be resilient. What that era taught me was to just trust myself, and trust that everything is going to work out the way it’s supposed to, and trust that relationships are put into your life for a reason.“You might not see that in the moment, but you see it later.”Asked how often she thinks of that era, Sabrina then deadpanned: “I don’t think about it, ever.”One year after Drivers License, the future Grammy winner unveiled her album Emails I Can’t Send, several songs of which alluded to the furore of which she’d found herself at the centre.Skin sees Sabrina ponder that “maybe blonde was the only rhyme” in a less-than-subtle nod to Olivia’s song, while on Because I Liked A Boy, she lamented:Now I’m a homewrecker, I’m a slutI got death threats filling up semi-trucksTell me who I am, guess I don’t have a choiceAll because I liked…I’m a hot topic on your tongueI’m a rebound gettin’ ‘round, stealin’ from the youngTell me who I am, guess I don’t have a choiceAll because I liked a boySince that era, Sabrina scored a triple whammy of number ones last year from her Short N’ Sweet album.Last week, she scored her fourth UK chart-topper with Manchild, the lead single from her next release.The singer is now gearing up for her next album, Man’s Best Friend, which is already brewing up plenty of controversy thanks to its suggestive artwork.READ MORE:Thank You To Sabrina Carpenter For Reminding Everyone That Pop Is Supposed To Be ProvocativeSabrina Carpenter Hits Back At Critics Of Her Sexualised Performances And LyricsSabrina Carpenter Has Epic 4-Word Response About Who Inspired Her Single Manchild
