The clip was released following the arrival of Carpenter’s ‘Short n’ Sweet,’ which features songs believed to be about herself, Cabello and Mendes.
Camila Cabello took part in Capital FM’s “Finish the Lyric “game recently, where she was tasked to test her musical knowledge by completing the lyrics to songs presented to her. Amid songs by Taylor Swift, Tyla, Tate McRae and more, Cabello sang along to the viral second verse of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.”
While she got some of the lines confused, fans began buzzing at the timing of Capital FM’s release of the clip. Sabrina Carpenter dropped her sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, last week, which led to a slew of unconfirmed theories that some of the songs are about a potential love triangle between herself, Cabello and Shawn Mendes.
Carpenter and Mendes were spotted spending time together in February 2023, a year after the “In My Blood” singer split from Cabello in November 2021. Just two months later, Cabello and Mendes were spotted rekindling their romance at Coachella.
Songs on Carpenter’s album, including “Coincidence,” “Sharpest Tool” and “Taste” all seem to follow a storyline about a love interest rekindling his romance with his ex-girlfriend. The corresponding “Taste” visual stars Jenna Ortega, who fans think was casted to represent Cabello in the clip.
Cabello also seemingly added fuel to the flame, by recently sharing a TikTok singing along to her own track, “June Gloom,” which features the lyrics: “She’s cool, I heard/ Won’t act surprised, I saw the pictures/ […] If she’s so amazing, why are you on this side of town? / If you like her so much, what are you here trying to find out?”
Again, the theories are just rumors, but check out Cabello’s “Finish the Lyric” round below.
