Sabrina Carpenter Appears To Be Teasing A Mysterious Collab – And Fans Have A Lot Of Thoughts
Sabrina Carpenter fans’ imaginations are running wild after the Espresso singer appeared to tease a mysterious new collaboration.
The chart-topping star – who is currently gearing up for the release of her new album Short N’ Sweet on Friday – shared a series of pictures on Instagram on Wednesday morning, alongside the caption: “Taste me!”
One snap in particular has really captured fans’ attention, showing the singer from behind, standing next to a dark-haired female figure.
It didn’t take long for fans to put two and two together and reach the conclusion that Sabrina will be teasing a new collaboration, or at least an interesting co-star in her next music video.
And speculation is already rife about who it could be.
Some have suggested that Sabrina and Olivia Rodrigo might be ready to put their complicated history behind them and pull a Lorde and Charli XCX by “working it out on the remix”...
What if this is Olivia with her https://t.co/7TFrATFdcw

Other names in the frame include Grammy nominee Lana Del Rey, Water singer Tyla or woman of the moment Chappell Roan, whose hit Good Luck, Babe! Sabrina previously covered in Radio 1’s Live Lounge…

Meanwhile, another popular theory has suggested that Sabrina might have recruited Jenna Ortega to appear in her next video, based on a few clues…

I’m ready to clown because this really looks like Jenna ???? The hair, the way she crosses her arms, her height, her waist, and most importantly the nails. Would be super random if it is her but it’s look too much like Jenna to not be Jenna tbh pic.twitter.com/pcsJ5YwtRp

And there are also some who reckon Sabrina’s next video will see her simply starring alongside a dark-haired version of herself…
everyone saying that might be olivia when it’s both sabrina with blonde and black hair. she literally debuted a black hairstyle the other day ????

My top 3 guesses:
— Andy ???? (@loserbrina) August 21, 2024
1. They're both Sabrina
2. Tyla (Maybe surprise Collab? Or could just be a Cameo?)
3. Jenna Ortega (has red nails, she's 5'1, plus they follow each other) pic.twitter.com/Ejk2l8f7nC
Not me hoping it’s just Sabrina with black hair because I’m dying to see her brunette again pic.twitter.com/u7CHSLt4vB

What if the black hair person is actually sabrina and the blonde hair person is someone else??? Because that doesnt look like her initial ring pic.twitter.com/oJ79zFbNLQ

The caption does hint at a new music video or single, as the opening track of Short N’ Sweet is also titled Taste.
Preceding singles Espresso and Please Please Please have already topped the UK singles chart following their release earlier in the summer.
