The world of celebrity love triangles just got a whole lot messier, thanks to the drama surrounding Shawn Mendes, Sabrina Carpenter, and Camila Cabello. What started as a simple set of dating rumors has escalated into full-blown social media shade, cryptic song lyrics, and public feuds. If you’ve been paying attention, you know that this love triangle has all the makings of a pop culture soap opera—filled with jealousy, heartbreak, and some seriously spicy music.

Let’s break it all down and take a deep dive into this chaotic love triangle involving Shawn Mendes, Sabrina Carpenter, and Camila Cabello.

The Backstory: Shawn and Camila’s On-and-Off Romance

Before Sabrina even entered the picture, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello had their own highly publicized relationship. The two started dating in 2019, and for a while, they were one of Hollywood’s cutest couples. But in 2021, after almost two years together, they announced they were breaking up. Fans were heartbroken, but little did we know, this breakup was just the beginning of a whole new drama.

Sabrina Carpenter Enters the Picture

Enter Sabrina Carpenter. The singer-actress, who had been building her career in music and acting, suddenly found herself linked to Shawn Mendes in early 2023. The two were spotted hanging out together on multiple occasions, leading fans to wonder if they were dating. But just as quickly as the rumors started, Shawn shut them down. In March 2023, he made a public statement saying, “We are not dating. Definitely not trying to claim Sabrina.” A classic move from Shawn, right? He denied the rumors, but the internet was already buzzing.

However, even though Shawn made it clear they weren’t dating, the sparks between him and Sabrina were still there. By the time Coachella 2023 came around, Shawn and Sabrina had been spotted together at various events, fueling rumors once again. But things got complicated fast.

Camila and Shawn Reunite—Sort Of

Just when fans thought they were done with this love triangle, Shawn and Camila were seen together again at Coachella 2023, sparking rumors of a reconciliation. According to sources, Camila was the one who decided to end things with Shawn in 2021, but it seemed like Shawn still had feelings for her. The Coachella kiss was a big deal—people thought it was a sign that they were rekindling their romance. But just like before, the reunion was short-lived, and by mid-2023, they’d called it quits again.

So where does Sabrina fit into all of this?

Sabrina’s Songs Drop Major Hints

Sabrina Carpenter, known for her confessional songwriting, wasn’t shy about spilling the tea through her music. She released a song titled Sharpest Tool, which seemed to hint at her brief fling with Shawn. In it, Sabrina sings, “I know you’re not the sharpest tool in the shed,” calling out Shawn’s apparent lack of communication. Fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that the song was about her relationship with Shawn, and it didn’t help that Sabrina was also releasing other tracks that seemed to reference her love life.

One of the most notable songs was Taste, in which Sabrina sings about her ex’s new relationship, suggesting that she wasn’t entirely over Shawn yet. “I heard you’re back together, and if that’s true, you’ll have to just taste me when he’s kissing you,” she sings. Fans couldn’t help but wonder if this was a dig at Camila, especially since the song’s music video seemed to feature Jenna Ortega as a brunette woman—reminiscent of Camila’s pre-blonde days.

Camila Fires Back

Camila wasn’t about to let Sabrina get all the attention. She, too, started sharing her thoughts through her music. In her track June Gloom, Camila seems to call out Sabrina, asking, “If she’s so amazing, why are you on this side of town?” It’s clear Camila is not happy about Shawn’s rumored involvement with Sabrina, and her lyrics only add fuel to the fire.

But it wasn’t just the songs—Camila’s social media presence got a lot more pointed. She started liking Sabrina’s posts from a distance but did not follow her, leading fans to speculate about a growing obsession. Fans took notice when Camila posted a selfie shortly after seeing Shawn and Sabrina at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, hinting that she wasn’t too pleased about the situation.

The Instagram Drama

Social media has played a huge role in this feud. Camila and Sabrina have subtly thrown shade at each other online, whether it’s liking cryptic posts, sharing passive-aggressive captions, or just generally fueling speculation. One particularly dramatic moment came when Sabrina posted a photo wearing Shawn’s hoodie—a clear indication of their closeness—while Camila was noticeably liking posts from Sabrina’s makeup artist. The tension was palpable, and fans were eating it up.

Despite all this, Camila and Sabrina have never publicly addressed each other directly. They’ve taken jabs through their songs and posts, but neither of them has acknowledged the feud in public. Instead, they’ve let their music—and their fans—do the talking.

The Messy Music: Sabrina’s Album & Camila’s Response

In 2023, Sabrina released a holiday EP titled Fruitcake, and one of the tracks, “Cindy Lho,” seemed to reference the very public drama surrounding Shawn, Camila, and herself. In the song, Sabrina sings about her ex meeting his new girlfriend in the desert—obviously a nod to the famous Coachella festival, where Shawn and Camila were spotted together. The song’s lyrics make it clear that Sabrina wasn’t thrilled about being the “other woman” in Shawn’s life.

Meanwhile, Camila’s June Gloom song continued to target Shawn’s exes, hinting that she wasn’t happy with his past relationships. Camila sings, “If you like her so much, what are you here trying to find out?” It’s a clear shot at Shawn’s flirtations with Sabrina, suggesting that she thinks he’s still holding onto his past.

The Latest Twist: Spotted Together Again

As if this love triangle needed more drama, in July 2024, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were spotted together once again. Whether it was just a friendly hangout or a more serious reunion, the public took notice. This sighting only added fuel to the fire, especially since Shawn’s relationship with Sabrina seemed to have fizzled out by then. Now, with the MTV Music Awards just around the corner, where Shawn is set to perform, it’s safe to say things will only get messier as the three of them are likely to cross paths again.

Conclusion: Who Will End Up with Shawn?

So, what’s the deal with Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, and Shawn Mendes? Is this all just a publicity stunt for their music careers, or is there real drama happening behind the scenes? With each of them releasing breakup anthems and taking jabs through their songs, it’s clear that this love triangle isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Fans are obsessing over every detail, from social media posts to song lyrics, as they try to figure out who will end up with Shawn in the end.

As for Sabrina and Camila, their rivalry isn’t just about Shawn—it’s become a battle of egos, emotions, and public image. Will they ever bury the hatchet, or will the drama continue to unfold in front of our eyes? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: this love triangle is far from over.
