Fans Are Convinced Sabrina Carpenter’s Collabing With A Mega Star On An Upcoming Song

Kayleigh Shaw

After listening to ā€œEspressoā€ and ā€œPlease Please Pleaseā€ on repeat, the wait for Sabrina Carpenterā€™s Short Nā€™ Sweet album is almost over. The album is dropping onĀ  Aug. 23 and I couldnā€™t be more ready and excited to be blown away by Carpenterā€™s incredible vocals and talent.Ā 

Not only is the album going to be full of Carpenterā€™s fun songwriting, but it seems like Carpenter could be collaborating with another fan fave artist on one of the album tracks, which she mightā€™ve hinted to on Instagram.

On Aug. 20, Carpenter posted a carousel of photos with the caption, ā€œtaste me!ā€ But one photo in particular really caught peopleā€™s attention as it showed Carpenter standing next to someone with long, black, wavy hair with their backs to the camera.Ā 

It didnā€™t take long for fans to start theorizing that the photo could be hinting at a new collaboration or, at least, a super epic guest star in an upcoming music video.

So far, itā€™s unknown who the mystery person in the photo is, but fans have a few theories. Some are convinced Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo could be pulling a Charli XCX and Lorde and collaborating on a song together.

Meanwhile, others suggest the mystery person in the photo is Tyla, especially after Carpenter commented on the “Water” singerā€™s June 5 Instagram post with, ā€œwould love to take you to dinner.ā€ Tyla replied to the fellow singerā€™s comment with ā€œpick up at 4:11šŸ’‹.ā€

Fans quickly noticed the interaction and assumed these two would be collabing on song for Short Nā€™ Sweet.Ā 

Other names that have been going around are Chappell Roan, Madison Beer, and Jenna Ortega.

Iā€™m pretty sure a collaboration between Carpenter and any of these beloved pop stars would break this internet. Since Carpenter’s IG caption definitely hinted at Short Nā€™ Sweet’s opening song “Taste,” there a good chance a music video or a single is coming our way. I, for one, canā€™t wait to find out on Aug. 23!
