Are Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter Collaborating? These Fan Theories Think So
If Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter's music tops your Spotify Wrapped at the end of each year, you're probably hoping for the day the singer-songwriters jump on a song together.
The Tortured Poets Department artist has previously dropped music with Gracie Abrams, another Eras Tour opener who works with one of Tay's go-to producers, Aaron Dessner. On top of being good friends and past tourmates, Taylor and Sabrina have also found a frequent collaborator in Jack Antonoff. That being said, the concept isn't entirely far-fetched.
While neither of the Grammy winners has explicitly hinted or confirmed anything, Swifties and Carpenters have already started sharing their guesses across social media. Could a Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter collaboration finally be on the way? These fan theories make quite the case...
Taybrina truthers, rise! A lot of fans pointed out similarities in recent social posts from the stars, which could potentially point to a collab. We all know Tay loves her Easter eggs, and as Sabrina's star rises, she's started employing them, too...
That's that me, espresso...in separate, unrelated announcements from the pop stars. When Taylor revealed that she officially owns her entire music catalog on May 31, there were small coffee-stained details on a social post promoting her letter.
Aaand when Sabrina announced her Short n' Sweet follow-up, Man's Best Friend, on June 11, her newsletter also included a coffee-stained ring:
It could simply be a coincidence...but there's a slim chance that it's not. Dare we say it's giving 'five holes in the fence'?
The same day Sabrina dropped the news about her upcoming album, Taylor Nation shared that Tay released a new merch collection inspired by her catalog. Eagle-eyed fans pointed out that both stars have new logos on their websites—Sabrina for her new era, and Taylor for her merch drop.
However, another Swiftie shared that Taylor has been using the cursive 'S' in design elements since 2023.
It may be June, but Taylor's official fan account used her song 'August' in the above announcement. Some fans figured it could point to a collaboration with Sabrina, as the 'Manchild' singer shared that Man's Best Friend is set to drop on August 29.
Neither Taylor nor Sabrina has weighed in on whether they're collaborating yet, but we'll be waiting here and holding out for a joint effort from the blondies.

Cardi B Is Done Being Humble: The Sophomore Album Is Called Am I the Drama? and Baby, She Absolutely Is
Oh, you thought she was done? You thought she peaked with Invasion of Privacy. Baby, Belcalis Almanzar aka Cardi B aka Ms. Grammy Winner If You're Nasty just reminded the world that she's not your friend, she's your tyrant. And after seven long, drama-drenched years, she's finally back with the follow-up album we've all been begging for. Mark your calendars, girls and gays: Am I the Drama? drops September 19. And yes, mama, she absolutely is. Cardi B's 'Am I The Drama?' has already joined her own 'Invasion of Privacy' as the only female rap albums in history to spawn multiple #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Invasion of Privacy dropped in 2018 and promptly snatched a Grammy for Best Rap Album. It was the first solo female rap album to ever do that. Iconic. Historic. Unmatched. Since then, Cardi has been feeding us crumbs, granted, delicious ones. 'WAP,' 'Up,' 'Money,' and 'Bongos' stayed in rotation, not to mention collabs with everyone from Lizzo to Ye (before he lost his mind) to your problematic fave, Ed Sheeran. But a second full-length album? A mirage. A myth. A whisper in the wind. Until now. On Sunday, Cardi said bitch, it's time. She dropped the album title, the drop date, and the cover art like a mic at the end of a diss track. The cover? Oh, just Cardi casually posing with a flock of crows like she's the final boss in a gothic fashion RPG. Black veil. Feathers. Face beat to heaven. And that title? Am I the Drama? Please. She knew exactly what she was doing. 'Seven years of love, life and loss. Seven years I gave them grace, but now, I give them hell,' she says in the voiceover of her dramatic announcement clip, which is giving Shakespeare meets strip-club realness. She continues, 'I learned power is not given, it's taken. I'm shedding feathers and no more tears. I'm not back, I'm beyond. I'm not your villain, I'm your tyrant.' Let the church say AMEN. Cardi ain't just talking. She's already giving us a taste of the chaos to come. Her new single 'Outside,' which premiered at the ultra bougie Cannes Lions festival, dropped Friday and sis did not come to play polite. First of all, she took a lyrical machete to ex-husband Offset (again). No subliminals, no coy metaphors, she named names and aired the mess. And just in case you were wondering if she's lonely, think again. Cardi also name-drops Stefon Diggs, New England Patriots wide receiver and her new certified boo. A stunt. A flex. A lifestyle. At Cannes, Cardi reminded everybody why she is the culture. She opened with 'Bongos' (the twerk anthem with Megan Thee Stallion that we're still recovering from), and then proceeded to unleash an avalanche of hits: 'Bodak Yellow,' 'I Like It,' 'Money,' 'Up,' and of course, 'WAP' the wettest, wildest, most politically triggering piece of music this decade. Say what you want about Cardi, but her stage presence is unmatched. She doesn't just perform, she dominates. Now, let's not pretend there hasn't been chatter, and I do mean beef. Cardi's been under pressure from critics, stans, and that one particular fanbase who shall not be named (rhymes with Barbz). People have questioned her pen, her artistry, her relevance. And for seven years, she smiled. She giggled. She let y'all think she was slipping. But Cardi B is from the Bronx, baby. She never forgets. This album isn't just about music, it's revenge, rebirth, and a royal serve on a platinum platter. And if the title Am I the Drama? is any clue, this era is going to be messier, louder, and even more unbothered than the last. Cardi isn't dropping this album to fit in. She's dropping it to remind everyone who invented the modern female rap blueprint. She's got the industry shook, the timeline buzzing, and the rap girls scrambling to update their notes. If you thought Cardi was going to play nice, stay quiet, or fade away, then baby, you must've mistaken her for someone who doesn't have millions, a diamond plaque, and a Chanel-coded death grip on pop culture.

Does Andrea Bocelli Know the Secret Formula to Keeping Classical Music Alive?
About 9,000 people descended upon Napa Valley, California, this past weekend for a once-in-a-lifetime experience featuring one of classical music's most successful singers. Andrea Bocelli, whom fans often call the Maestro, hosted the aptly named A Weekend in Napa, treating guests to two days of music, wine, and adventures in America's wine country. 'Places like Napa allow you to have direct, respectful, and authentic contact with nature's beauty and landscapes that invite silence and reflection,' Bocelli told ELLE through a translator. 'This is an invaluable source of inspiration for me: for both my music and my private life.' Both evenings at sunset, guests attended performances by Bocelli and his frequent collaborators, including pop star Pia Toscano. At the concerts, hosted by Julianne Hough at the Charles Krug Winery, fans sang along to every word of the classics, from Giuseppe Verdi's 'La donna è mobile' to Giacomo Puccini's 'Nessun dorma,' and gave multiple standing ovations. The Grammy-winning R&B artist Babyface even performed with Bocelli for the first time, and at the end of one evening, an auction raised money for the Andrea Bocelli Foundation; the winery was filled with vendors from around Napa and hand-selected wine from Bocelli himself. 'We're talking about a splendid mosaic of rolling hills and golden vineyards that produce some of the best wines in the world,' Bocelli said of the experience. 'A land that is the cradle of hospitality, of fine living, and of good food, a place where nature and culture blend harmoniously.' Bocelli is perhaps the world's most well-known classical musician. He has released 18 albums, collaborated with pop and opera stars alike, and has toured the globe. In 2018, he earned a No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for his album, Sì, decades into his career, and his concerts always have a star-studded guest list. Last year, when he celebrated 30 years of being in the arts with a concert at his own performance venue, Teatro del Silenzio, attendees included Shania Twain, Plácido Domingo, Sofia Carson, Jon Batiste, Ed Sheeran, Will Smith, and more. His fans are ever-adoring, coming by the thousands to his events. Bocelli can sell out an arena, a rare feat for someone in his genre, and for his Napa weekend, some guests came all the way from South Africa. An attendee even paid $200,000 for a guitar that was used and signed by Bocelli. In short: The Bocelli craze is real. For classical music aficionados, Bocelli has always been a controversial figure. He's known for embracing contemporary sounds, and some opera purists have even called him a pop singer, critiquing his understanding of repertoire and vocals. Bocelli, in his own words, is a lover of music, regardless of genre. 'I prefer classical music, but I also appreciate pop, which has its own masterpieces,' Bocelli told ELLE. 'In my offerings, the main distinction I make is always between good music and bad music. The challenge is to continue to disseminate and advocate for quality, wherever it is.' Over the weekend, Bocelli aimed to create an accessible environment, offering experiences for every generation and curating a music festival-like atmosphere. This attitude is more important than ever, as opera houses work to welcome younger audiences into the fold. In the 2024 season, the Metropolitan Opera's average age for a ticket buyer was 44, down from 50 the previous season, a result of the company's efforts to produce more contemporary operas. Bocelli uses a similar approach. On his recent album, Duets, collaborators included Karol G, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa. 'If we take our listeners by the hand, any audience will be able to discover a repertory that can touch us, amaze us, at times make us laugh, and above all, make us think,' he said. 'It is up to us artists to take the first step, when necessary, leaving the theater and meeting young people halfway, helping them see the revolutionary power of practicing beauty.' He continued: 'As an operatic singer, I want to point out how the opera itself remains still perennially current, precisely because it lets primary emotions come into play with an intensity that can break down any cultural barrier. It's a representation within everyone's reach and can 'capture' the audience at any latitude. It's a potential picklock to a better understanding of ourselves, of the strength of feelings and human relations.' As for what's next, Bocelli has a tour in the works, and he hopes to host more events like A Weekend in Napa. 'Not a day goes by without my reflecting on the privilege I have, as an artist and as a person,' he says. 'I feel at home in California, not only for the many friendships that my family and I have established here over the years, but specifically for the level of empathy I receive every day. Every time I step on stage, especially in this part of the world, I am welcomed with a warmth that truly touches me.'

Sabrina Carpenter swears she's just having fun — but there's nothing funny about her regressive new album cover
Sabrina Carpenter has unveiled a new album cover to her millions of fans on Instagram: an image of the pop singer, on her knees before a man wearing a suit and yanking her by the hair. A man upright and standing; a woman genuflecting on the ground. Him fully dressed, anonymous and face out of frame; her fully exposed, in a barely-there skirt and sky-high slingbacks. Him asserting dominance with a tug of the hair; her submitting totally, mouth slightly agape. The power dynamics couldn't be any clearer, but the upcoming album's title — 'Man's Best Friend' — really sends it home. It puts women on the level of dogs … cute little pets, there for male enjoyment. 6 Sabrina Carpenter's sexually suggestive upcoming album cover has sparked outrage online. Sabrina Carpenter It's an amazingly regressive message from a supposed girl-power icon, and it does a tremendous disservice to the millions of girls who look up to stars like Carpenter for cues about femininity and womanhood. Carpenter might intend the cover with a wink and a nod, but even if she's in on the joke, her youngest fans are not. The 26-year-old 'Espresso' and 'Please Please Please' singer first captured Gen Z and Gen Alpha's hearts on Disney Channel, where she played Maya on the show 'Girl Meets World' from 2014 to 2017. Like many former Disney stars before her, she launched a successful mainstream career and stooped to hyper-sexualizing her music — and herself — to delineate this new chapter from her kid-actor past. 6 Carpenter's performances have been criticized for being overly sexual for tween AEG Take lyrics from her song 'Bed Chem:' 'I bet we'd have really good bed chem … Come right on me/ I mean camaraderie… And I bet we'd both arrive at the same time/ and I bet the thermostat's set at six‑nine.' Or her song 'Juno,' an allusion to the 2007 film about a teen pregnancy: 'Wanna try out my fuzzy pink handcuffs?… If you love me right, then who knows/ I might let you make me Juno… Adore me, hold me and explore me/ Mark your territory, I'm so f–king horny.' A parenting blogger for the popular site makes the case for parents to 'put down the pitchforks over Sabrina Carpenter' with a rather unconvincing anecdote: 'I found myself at a concert venue scream-singing 'I'm so f—ing horny' alongside 15,000 fellow Sabrina Carpenter fans, most of whom fell solidly within the 12-18 age bracket.' 6 Carpenter's lyrics include declarations of being 'horny' and allusions to teen pregnancy. Rolling Stone via Getty Images She characterizes the concert as 'a joyful 90-minute celebration of femininity and fun' — but I'd describe the stunts Carpenter puts on at her concerts as self-objectifying, at best. During the tween-packed shows of her recently wrapped 'Short 'N Sweet Tour,' Carpenter knelt down on stage, pulled her own hair back into a ponytail and imitated oral sex with a microphone multiple times. She also mimicked the 'Eiffel Tower' sexual position on stage with two male dancers in Paris, bending over and grinding against one of their crotches as she sang with her face in the other's genital area. 6 Carpenter acted out an explicit sexual act on stage while performing in Paris. @callmemariepal/X Of course, Carpenter has countless defenders, from Buzzfeed writers who insist that she 'expertly embraces her sexuality without succumbing to the 'male gaze'' and even singer Carly Simon, who the pop star's new album cover is not 'anything outrageous.' An op-ed in The Guardian defended her, too, arguing that 'to be submissive and strong at once is to break some brains' — but the truth is that Carpenter's acts of self-degradation are seen through the impressionable eyes of a pre-teen audience that isn't going to get her cheekiness. Carpenter's own answer to critics who say the imagery she evokes is regressive? 'If you can't handle a girl who is confident in her own sexuality, then don't come to my shows.' 6 Carly Simon defended Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover amidst criticism. Getty Images Fair enough. Carpenter is an adult and, if she thinks this is empowering, then more power to her. It's on parents to decide what's appropriate for their children, not a pop star. But that doesn't mean she's above criticism, especially when she insists that she is a model of a woman who is 'confident in her own sexuality' — even though it seems like she's expressing her sexuality while on her knees more often than not. Is this the female sexual 'empowerment' of the next generation? 6 Young girls and young women make up a significant part of Carpenter's audience. via REUTERS From the outside looking in, it seems that Carpenter is a victim of the mass delusion that has convinced young women that, if they choose to be mistreated and disrespected by men — if they become enthusiastic participants in their own degradation — then sexual disrespect isn't actually what it is. Elder members of Gen Z have been hoodwinked into believing that enthusiastic consent absolves men of the need to treat them with dignity and respect, and that acting like the porn stars on their cell phone screens (or the pop stars on a concert stage) is empowerment. Generations of feminists fought so that today's young women could have more choice and freedom than ever before. But a pornified culture has tricked them into choosing their own disempowerment. It's time to stop this before the next group of girls fall into this same trap.
