You have no idea what it's about? Then we have a short summary for you with all the background information and common theories.
Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes: The whole drama, simply explained
To make a long story short: Shawn Mendes andwere in a long-term, very serious relationship from 2019 to 2021.seemed amicable. True to the motto: “We were friends before and will remain friends afterwards.”
Then, about a year and a half after announcing their split, they were pictured together in April 2023where they apparently met again quite by chance - and seemed quite familiar with each other. In the meantime (early 2023), Mendes and “Espresso” became singersseen together, although they never directly publicized or confirmed a relationship. All of this happened after Sabrina Carpenter was involved in a love triangle with Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett and before her current one.
But now all this drama could be a thing of the past: Carpenter and Mendes are both in new relationships, while Cabello seemed to take the second breakup very calmly, as she revealed in a podcast: So everyone would be friends now. Would be. Everything would be great if all three artists hadn't recently (seemingly accidentally) addressed the situation on their last albums.
Here are all the theories. (Okay, that's not entirely true; Mendes doesn't have any lyrics about being torn between two girls, but that's only because his album "Shawn" doesn't come out until October, and if he's smart and wants press , he will then respond to it).
Shawn Mendes comments on the love drama
Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello like to express their dissatisfaction in their songs. Shawn Mendes was the alleged target of the two - now he's coming forward for the first time. The singer was a guest on John Mayer's new talk show “How's Life” on SiriusXM radio station. Here he talked about how he feels about ex-girlfriends writing songs about him. John Mayer seems to be the perfect person to talk to - he is an ex of Taylor Swift, who allegedly wrote “Dear John” about him.
When discussing the situation, Mendes didn't name any names - but fans are sure it involves the love triangle with Carpenter and Cabello. Rumor has it that Mendes had a brief relationship with Carpenter in early 2023, but ended it to get back together with Cabello, who he had been dating for years. He then talked about this situation in more detail.
He was probably dating someone (presumably Sabrina Carpenter) when he met his ex (presumably Camila Cabello). "Two days before I met my ex, I said to her, 'I'm going to meet my ex because I still have unresolved feelings,'" he says. Maybe not the best way – he can see that himself. “Maybe it should have been two weeks instead of the two days” he told his then-girlfriend (or, you never know) should have been given time to process the fact that he was seeing his ex.
But he doesn't want to apologize for meeting his ex at all. It is important to him that he always follows his gut feeling, even if it means having difficult conversations.
The only thing that really bothers him: “It feels strange when someone writes about you, but the whole situation is not portrayed correctly.” John Mayer agreed, saying, "It's hard for anyone to learn that when you're upset, you distort reality, and you're not going to get a song from someone who's had their feelings hurt that's an account of that." is what happened,” he said.
