Sabrina Carpenter & Olivia Rodrigo Reunite at the 2025 Grammys
The 2025 Grammy Awards were filled with historic wins and unforgettable moments, but one of the most talked-about highlights of the night was the surprise reunion between Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo. After years of speculation about a love triangle involving Joshua Bassett, the two pop stars finally put the rumors to rest in a heartwarming interaction that had fans buzzing.
A Hug That Broke the Internet
During the ceremony at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, Olivia—dressed in a vintage black Versace gown—was spotted bending down to share a warm hug with Sabrina, who had changed into a sparkling gold strapless dress for the night. The two engaged in what appeared to be an animated and friendly conversation, marking the first time they have been seen interacting publicly since the drama surrounding “Driver’s License” and “Skin” in 2021.
A fan-captured video of the moment quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), with users celebrating the unexpected reunion. One fan tweeted, “The world is HEALING. I used to pray for moments like this.” Another joked, “Not even exaggerating when I say this is the greatest peace treaty in history.”
A Look Back at the Love Triangle Rumors
The drama between Olivia, Sabrina, and Joshua Bassett first made headlines in 2021 when Olivia released “Driver’s License,” a heartbreaking breakup anthem that fans speculated was about her split from Joshua. The lyrics referenced a “blonde girl”—widely believed to be Sabrina—whom Joshua had reportedly started dating.
Shortly after, Sabrina seemingly responded with her own song, “Skin,” where she sang, “Maybe you didn’t mean it / Maybe blonde was the only rhyme.” The track fueled rumors of tension between the two singers, despite both denying any bad blood.
Since then, both stars have moved on in their personal lives and music careers. However, until this moment at the 2025 Grammys, they had never publicly addressed the speculation or been seen interacting.
A Big Night for Sabrina Carpenter
Beyond her long-awaited reunion with Olivia, Sabrina had even more to celebrate at the Grammys. She took home two awards—Best Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album—solidifying her status as one of pop music’s brightest rising stars.
During her emotional acceptance speech for Best Pop Vocal Album, the “Espresso” singer expressed her gratitude:
“All of those nominees that were just on the screen are some of my favorite artists in the world. I can’t believe I’m nominated against them or even in this room right now.”
Fighting back tears, she added, “This is my first Grammys, so I’m gonna cry.”
Olivia & Sabrina: A New Chapter?
While their friendly moment at the Grammys 2025 didn’t come with an official statement, it’s clear that any lingering drama from their rumored love triangle is now in the past. Fans are hopeful this marks a new chapter of friendship between the two pop stars, or at the very least, the end of a long-standing narrative.
