SHOCKING CELEBRITY REUNION!

In a jaw-dropping display of friendship and unity, pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter was spotted supporting her former love rival Olivia Rodrigo at the star-studded BST Hyde Park gig in London on Friday.

The 26-year-old singer-songwriter, known for her hit single "Espresso," couldn't help but groove along to Olivia's performance as she headlined the festival. The two pop stars share a mutual ex-boyfriend, Joshua Bassett, and have been embroiled in a messy love triangle drama that has captivated fans worldwide.

However, it seems like Sabrina has put their alleged feud firmly behind her, judging by her radiant smile and dancing skills as she watched Olivia bring the house down on stage. Dressed to impress in a semi-sheer baby doll dress and black glasses, Sabrina looked every inch the star as she sipped on a glass of wine from a balcony.

Meanwhile, Olivia was on fire as she belted out her hits, including a surprise duet with Ed Sheeran that left the 65,000-strong crowd in awe. The pair strummed their guitars and harmonized to perfection, bringing the house down with their performance of Ed's iconic hit "The A Team."

But the real drama went down earlier that day when Sabrina made a stunning appearance at the Dior Homme Menswear show during Paris Fashion Week. Rocking an elegant grey blazer and knee-length pleated skirt, Sabrina looked every inch the fashionista as she mingled with A-listers like Rihanna, Donatella Versace, Daniel Craig, and Robert Pattinson.

The singer's conservative attire was a far cry from her usual risqué stage wear, leaving fans wondering if this marks a new era for Sabrina in terms of her style. After all, the pop star is known for pushing boundaries with her music and fashion choices.

As the drama unfolds, it's clear that Sabrina and Olivia have put their past differences aside to celebrate their shared experiences as young women in the spotlight. With both singers currently riding high on their respective careers, fans are eager to see what the future holds for these talented pop stars.

THE HISTORY

Joshua has long been rumored to be the subject of Olivia's January 2021 breakup ballad Driver's License, with fans suspecting Sabrina was the 'other woman' referenced in the song's lyrics [Olivia and Joshua in 2022]

For those who may be new to the drama-filled world of Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo, let's take a quick trip down memory lane. It all started when Joshua Bassett, 24, became entangled in a love triangle with both singers in 2020-2021. The drama reached fever pitch after Olivia released her breakout hit "Driver's License" in January 2021, which many fans interpreted as a breakup ballad about her relationship with Joshua.

The lyrics sparked widespread speculation and online feuds, with Sabrina being accused of being the "other woman" referenced in the song. However, neither Olivia nor Joshua has ever publicly confirmed or denied their alleged romance or breakup.

Fast-forward to today, and it seems like both singers have moved on from the drama. Sabrina is currently dating 22-year-old actor Louis Partridge, while Olivia has been linked to her High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Joshua Bassett (again). Who knows what the future holds for these talented pop stars?
