Camila Cabello‘s recent performance at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas has drawn charges of a veiled punch targeted at fellow pop singer Sabrina Carpenter. Originally working on a song she first wrote with Shawn Mendes, her ex, the 27-year-old “Havana” singer just turned heads with her outfit on L’Oréal’s runway show in Paris. But Cabello’s interpretation of the chosen song attracted everyone’s attention instead.
Cabello sung during the now-viral event, “You say we’re just friends / But friends don’t know the way you taste.” Instead of completing the declaration by singing the word “taste,” Cabello softly placed her finger over her lips as the song progressed, a move fans immediately noted as a quiet dig at Sabrina Carpenter. For Sabrina’s admirers, her performance of a song called Taste off her Short n’ Sweet album last month has great meaning.
About the Love Triangle
Given their apparent involvement in a love triangle with Shawn Mendes, Cabello’s performance and choice to overlook the adjective “taste,” rapidly attracted charges of friction between her and Carpenter. Celebratively covering 2019 to 2021, Cabello and Mendes presumably got back together in 2023. But in February of that year Shawn and Sabrina were photographed together beginning tales of a romance between the two. Later on, the relationship claims became more pressing when one saw them together at Miley Cyrus‘s album release party.
Seen kissing at the Coachella Music Festival in April 2023, the two were stoking the embers indicating Shawn and Camila’s once more on-again, off-again relationship once more. Carpenter’s song Taste soon connected with the Mendes-Cabello relationship since the lyrics addressed negotiating a challenging marriage. Many listeners of Sabrina’s song Coincidence from the same album find her singing about a love triangle utilizing lyrics such, “Now she’s in the same Damn city on the same Damn night suggestive of Shawn and Camila’s Coachella reunion.”
Social media exploded in rumors about whether Camila’s amusing lyric skip particularly honored Sabrina after her iHeartRadio performance. Many answered on the designated comment area on the viral TikTok video. Stressing the growing dilemma, one fan wondered, “Is it bad I love both Sabrina and Camila?” while another said, “WHO DO I TELL THIS LORE?” Others giggled over the scene, one fan typing, “CAMILA This is quite classic; then, a line of laughing emojis.
It seems doubtful that the fixation on the alleged love triangle on the internet will fade fast. Based on the rumors, fans are carefully examining every action by both artists for hidden hints. “Wait, she is SOO funny for this,” another fan remarked, adding to the deluge of compliments on the softer hue. Sabrina and Camila’s fan networks clearly aroused interest whether or not the modest dig was planned.
Virtual Machine Address Inspired by Triangle Speculation and Sabrina Carpenter
A few weeks following another major public event with Sabrina, Camila, and Shawn at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024, the iHeartRadio event falls Sabrina sung her song Taste during the event; the same song some believe she is addressing her seemingly interacting with Shawn and Camila. Including among the fans during the show Camila and Shawn raised the suspense.

Program viewers are craving the next chapter of this evolving story. One thing is clear: regardless of another unexplainable behavior or unintentional public interaction, the Camila-Sabrina-Shawn narrative is far from whole.
