Sabrina Carpenter’s new lyrics explored
There are rumors that Canadian musician Shawn Mendes, 25, and 25-year-old Sabrina Carpenter were dating when he reportedly put his ex-girlfriend Camila Cabello in the way of their relationship.
Her song “Coincidence,” according to fans on Reddit, Twitter, and X, is about Shawn and Camilla. In the song, she says, “The moment I lay my head on your chest. She had a true sixth sense, so she knew. Her name now appears once, and then again twice. And she’s back in your life without even being here. It’s the same darn night and city that she’s in now. You’ve also completely lost your common sense. What a Significance.
The singer seems to be drawing attention to Mendes and his alleged lack of remorse once more in her other song, “Dumb & Poetic.” Feelings are expressed when Sabrina says, “Don’t think you understand.” It doesn’t make you a man to behave like one just because. Don’t assume you comprehend. You don’t automatically become a man just because you act like one.

Fan reactions to the supposed Sabrina Carpenter-Shawn Mendes-Camila Cabello love triangle?
“June Gloom” by Camila is about Sabrina and Shawn, and it feels like it supports what Sabrina is saying,” a Redditor commented. “Shawn and Camila were possibly rebounding like a week ago lol,” said a another Reddit poster. These two are messy for each other, and anybody who goes between them has to realize it. For them, it’s not over yet, and it’s not worth believing that it will be. The commenter went on, “They’ll probably get married.”
“Sabrina writes in ‘Sharpest Tool’ that the man she was with introduced her to his best friends before giving her mixed signals down the line,” a person said on Twitter/X in the meanwhile. When Sabrina and Shawn started dating, Prashan, Shawn’s best friend, followed.
