Sabrina Carpenter’s Song Sparks Rumors of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello Reunion

Shawn Mendes Opens Up About Love Life, Sparks Speculation on Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello

Shawn Mendes has recently opened up about a complicated chapter in his love life, reigniting fan speculation about his romantic entanglements with Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello. A preview of Mendes’ upcoming interview with John Mayer on SiriusXM’s How’s Life has shed new light on the singer’s past relationships, fueling rumors and leaving fans eager for answers.

Shawn Mendes Reflects on Love, Loss, and Lessons

In the interview, Mendes candidly discussed a time when he found himself caught between two loves.

“I’m with someone. Two days before going to hang with my ex, [I] express I’m going to hang with my ex because I have unresolved feelings,” Mendes, 26, told Mayer. “Maybe instead of two days it could have been two weeks.”

Mendes admitted that navigating love and heartbreak has been a challenging journey. “The biggest lesson I’ve heard is no one gets out of this life without getting hurt, and no one gets out of this life without hurting someone,” he shared.

This statement seems to align with the rumors that Mendes was romantically involved with Sabrina Carpenter in early 2023 while simultaneously reconnecting with ex-girlfriend Camila Cabello. Though Mendes denied dating Carpenter, fans believe the timeline of events—and Carpenter’s music—tell a different story.

Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” Adds Fuel to the Fire

Sabrina Carpenter’s hit song “Taste” has been widely interpreted as a response to Mendes’ alleged reunion with Cabello. The lyrics, dripping with emotional intensity, suggest unresolved feelings and betrayal:

“I heard you’re back together and if that’s true / You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you / If you want forever, I bet you do / Just know you’ll taste me too.”

While Carpenter has not directly confirmed the song’s connection to Mendes, fans believe the timing and content are too coincidental to ignore.

Camila Cabello’s Subtle Swipe?

Adding to the intrigue, Cabello appeared to send a playful jab toward Carpenter during her September performance at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival. While performing her and Mendes’ hit song Señorita, Cabello paused dramatically before singing the word “taste,” instead putting a finger to her lips with a knowing smirk.

This moment sent fans into a frenzy, interpreting it as a subtle acknowledgment of Carpenter’s song and the rumored love triangle.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s on-again, off-again relationship has been a central topic of pop culture discussion since their initial split in 2021. The pair briefly rekindled their romance in 2023 but ultimately decided to part ways again.

“You’re just kind of like, it’s not a fit, it doesn’t feel right,” Cabello explained during a March 2024 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. “It took us both less time to be like, ‘This doesn’t feel right and we don’t need to try so hard to make it work.’”

Despite their breakup, both Mendes and Cabello have spoken highly of each other. “She’s an amazing human being,” Mendes said during a September interview on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast. “She’s incredibly understanding and thoughtful and caring.”

Cabello echoed the sentiment, calling Mendes a “really kind, good person” and expressing gratitude for their time together.
