Did Olivia And Sabrina Work It Out On The Remix? Unpacking If They're Friends Now

Livvies and Carpenters (me) are losing their minds after seeing those viral photos of Sabrina Carpenter in the crowd at Olivia Rodrigo’s Hyde Park show in London. These two are the most powerful duo imaginable, so I’m living for the friendship crumbs They also had a brief interaction at the Grammys back in February, and Olivia’s BFF, Conan Gray, recently made it sound like Sabrina’s in his friend group!

It’s been four years now since Olivia and her curly-haired High School Musical costar Joshua Bassett split. He moved on with Sabrina, and then they all wrote a billion songs about it. Olivia, of course, unintentionally started the Gen Z pop culture scandal by crooning, “And you’re probably with that blonde girl who always made me doubt / She’s so much older than me, she’s everything I’m insecure about.” As we all recall, Sabrina responded to “driver’s license” with “Skin” weeks later. In the response track (which she never acknowledges now), she taunted, “He’s on my / All on my all on my all on my skin” and “Don’t drive yourself insane.” I’m a Sabrina stan, and I’m the first to say that was the cringiest moment of her career.

But it seems like the drama is totally behind these icons! After all, it’s been a long time, and they’ve both had new relationships and albums since then. So, are Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter friends now? Here’s an update.

Are Olivia Rodrigo And Sabrina Carpenter Friends Now?

Sabrina Carpenter Supported Olivia Rodrigo At Her Hyde Park Show In London

On June 27, Sabrina was spotted in the VIP section of the crowd at Olivia’s BST Hyde Park concert in London. The “Manchild” singer looked adorable in a semi-sheer white baby doll dress, and she was all smiles, per the photos! This is definitely the first time she’s been seen at an Olivia show.

Another reason to believe Sabrina and Olivia are friends? Olivia’s best friend in the world, Conan Gray, seems to be friends with Sabrina now. Just a few days after Sabrina attended Olivia’s show, Conan posted a TikTok of himself lip-syncing to “Manchild,” and Sabrina reposted it.

Earlier this month, Conan also revealed why he chose Corey Fogelmanis (Sabrina’s bestie and former Girl Meets World costar) to star in his “This Song” music video. “We’re in the same friend group and we’re really close,” he said. Does this perhaps mean… Sabrina and Olivia are in the same friend group?

Did Olivia Rodrigo And Sabrina Carpenter Talk At The 2025 Grammys?

Although it’s a super short and blurry video, the pop girlies were spotted hugging and talking during the broadcast. It looks like Olivia stopped by Sabrina’s table to chat for a minute. (I’m assuming she congratulated Sabrina on her two Grammys.) They didn’t pose for any photos together… Seems like it was a brief but friendly interaction!

What Happened Between Olivia Rodrigo And Sabrina Carpenter?

After Sabrina famously responded to “driver’s license” with “Skin,” Olivia shared her thoughts in an interview. She was asked if she’d ever “write a response song to the response song” and replied: “Oh! Interesting question. I actually don’t know her at all.” Oof. She added, “I think we’ve met once or twice in passing, but I’ve never had a conversation with her, so I don’t think I could write a song that was meaningful or emotional about somebody I don’t know.” This was such a masterfully petty, yet PR-savvy response for an 18-year-old. Still shook.

Despite all the messiness, Olivia insisted in August 2021 that she had no hard feelings toward Sabrina. “I don’t really subscribe to hating other women because of boys,” she told Variety. “I think that’s so stupid, and I really resent that narrative that was being tossed around.”

Long before the teen drama saga of 2021, Olivia and Sabrina were just two Disney gals who seemed to be friendly with each other. When they were tweens, Olivia was on Bizaardvark, and Sabrina was starring in Girl Meets World. It’s clear that Olivia was a fan of Sabrina’s back then because there are multiple old videos of her gushing about the “Taste” singer.

In one Instagram Live from around October 2017, Olivia responded to a fan’s request to sing Sabrina’s song, “Why.” She got visibly excited and asked, “Guys, did you see her on Jimmy Fallon? That was SO cool.” Young Olivia added, “I was like, ‘Yes, go Sabrina!” When another fan wrote that they love Sabrina, Olivia said, “Girl, saaame” and started softly singing, “Why.” Crying.

Well, I’m thrilled that two of my favorite artists in the world appear to be on good terms again. Beef is exhausting. I hope and pray for a collab!
