Sabrina Carpenter’s album Short n' Sweet is making waves, and not just for its catchy tunes. Fans on Reddit are buzzing with speculation that the singer might be subtly calling out Camila Cabello in her track “Coincidence” for allegedly seducing Shawn Mendes while he was still in a relationship with Carpenter. The lyrics of the song hint at a betrayal, leading listeners to believe that it could be a reference to the rumored love triangle involving the three stars.

In addition to “Coincidence,” another track from the album, “Dumb & Poetic,” has caught the attention of fans who think it alludes to Shawn Mendes' behavior. The lyrics suggest that someone close to Carpenter might have been less than honorable, leading to further speculation that Mendes is the subject of the song.

The rumoured connection between the three artists dates back to when Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were publicly seen together, sparking rumors of a romantic relationship. At the time, Mendes was believed to be involved with Sabrina Carpenter, though neither Mendes nor Carpenter confirmed the relationship.

Carpenter’s fans have taken to social media to dissect the lyrics, looking for clues that might confirm their theories. While neither Carpenter, Mendes, nor Cabello have publicly commented on the speculation, the ongoing buzz has undoubtedly fueled interest in Carpenter’s album, with many eager to decode the meaning behind her words.

Whether these tracks are a direct reference to the rumored drama or simply creative expressions of heartbreak and betrayal, the intrigue surrounding them has added an extra layer of depth to Carpenter's music, making her latest album a must-listen for fans and pop culture enthusiasts alike.
