Sabrina Carpenter shows her support for former love rival Olivia Rodrigo at her BST Hyde Park gig - four years after their alleged feud over mutual ex Josh Bassett
Sabrina Carpenter showed her support for former love rival Olivia Rodrigo as she attended her BST Hyde Park gig in London on Friday.
The Espresso hitmaker, 26, could be seen smiling and dancing along as Olivia, 22, took to the stage to headline the festival in the capital.
The pair share a mutual ex-boyfriend in the form of Joshua Bassett, 24, with the singers embroiled in awkward love triangle rumours back in 2020/2021 amid their romances with the actor.
However, Sabrina appeared to have put their alleged feud firmly behind her as she happily sipped on a glass of wine while enjoying the show.
Slipping into a semi-sheer baby doll dress and black glasses, the US songstress - who is headlining the same festival next week - looked in great spirits as she watched from a balcony.
Meanwhile, Olivia was on fine form as she strutted her stuff on stage, with one look seeing her stun in a tiny silver fringed crop top and matching mini skirt.
She was later joined on the stage by surprise guest Ed Sheeran, 34, for a duet of his mega 2011 hit The A Team.
Together the pair strummed their guitars while belting out the iconic lyrics while the 65,000 strong audience cheered in delight.
Joshua has long been rumored to be the subject of Olivia's January 2021 breakup ballad Driver's License, which catapulted her to superstardom.
The pair reportedly dated while shooting the first two seasons of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, which premiered on Disney+ in 2019.
Due to the assumptions made about the song, Joshua became a target online to Rodrigo's protective fanbase.
Fans also suspected that Carpenter was the 'other woman' referenced in the song's lyrics as Olivia notably sings about 'that blonde girl' who 'made [her] doubt' the relationship.
She also notes in the lyrics that the unnamed blonde is 'much older than me.' Olivia is 22 and Sabrina is 26.
Sabrina, who also got her start on Disney Channel, was reportedly linked to Joshua in mid-2020 but they were broken up by 2021.

Sabrina couldn't keep the smile off her face amid Olivia's gig
Olivia and her ex Joshua have never publicly confirmed or denied anything relating to their alleged romance and breakup.
The Deja Vu singer is now happily dating 22-year-old actor Louis Partridge, while Sabrina was in a high-profile romance with Barry Keoghan throughout 2024.
It was a busy day for Sabrina as just hours earlier, she looked uncharacteristically conservative in a grey pleated skirt suit at the star-studded Dior Homme Menswear during Paris Fashion Week.
The singer was the epitome of chic as she rocked an elegant grey blazer that cinched her in at the waist, teamed with a knee-length pleated skirt.
Her look was a far cry from the risqué outfits she usually slips into when performing on stage.
Sabrina boosted her height in a pair of nude peep-toe heels, while her blonde locks were kept off her face with a simple black hair slide.
The Please Please Please hitmaker showed off her demure look as she greeted fans while arriving at the show to check out the Spring-Summer 2026 collection.
Sabrina was in great company at the fashion show as a number of A-listers were in attendance including Rihanna, Donatella Versace, Daniel Craig and Robert Pattinson.

Kneecap rapper wears Palestine Action ‘terror group' T-shirt ahead of controversial Glasto set that BBC WON'T show live
CONTROVERSIAL hip hop group Kneecap have shared an image of one of its members wearing a "We Are All Palestine Action" ahead of their Glastonbury set. JJ O Dochartaigh - who often wears a balaclava in public - was seen in the snap wearing the top on X, with the caption reading: "1 hour to go..." 1 They are due to perform at 4pm on the West Holts stage. It comes after the BBC confirmed it will not be broadcasting the Irish trio's performance live following Sir Keir Starmer saying they should be banned from appearing altogether. Festival bosses, meanwhile, have already warned part of the grounds could be locked down during the group's performance this afternoon due to crowd surge concerns. Frontman Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged under the Terrorism Act after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist group Hezbollah while saying "up Hamas, up Hezbollah" during a gig in November in Kentish Town, north London. A BBC spokesperson said: 'As the broadcast partner, the BBC is bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. "Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans ensure that our programming meets our editorial guidelines. "We don't always live stream every act from the main stages and look to make an on-demand version of Kneecap's performance available on our digital platforms, alongside more than 90 other sets." The band themselves addressed a post on X to "a chairde Gael" - which means "Gaelic friends" in which they said they'd been contacted by the "propaganda wing of the regime". The post added: "They WILL put our set from Glastonbury today on the I-player later this evening for your viewing pleasure. "The crowd expected today is far greater than West Holts capacity so you'll need to be very early to catch us EARLY". A festival statement released today warns: "Kneecap will draw a large audience for their 4pm West Holts show. "If you're not planning to see them, please plan alternative routes around that area. "If you do plan to attend, listen to stewards, and please have some other entertainment options in mind in case the field reaches capacity and we need to close it as part of our crowd planning measures." Earlier this month the rapper - who performs under the stage name Mo Chara - and bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and O Dochartaigh were mobbed by hundreds of fans outside Westminster Magistrates' Court. He was released on unconditional bail - and is due at the same court on August 20 for the next hearing. The group's much-anticipated appearance at Glastonbury has been criticised by PM Sir Keir Starmer and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch. Mr Starmer said this week it is "not appropriate" for the group to perform at the festival, which started on Thursday. Asked by The Sun on Sunday if he thinks Kneecap should play, the PM said: 'No I don't. 'I think we need to come down really clearly on this. I won't say too much, because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate.' Ms Badenoch also said the BBC "should not be showing" the band's set in a post on social media. Her post said: "The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. "One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. "As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism." The band are not currently listed for live broadcast. Avon and Somerset Police said: "Ticket-holders can once again expect to see uniformed officers on site at Glastonbury Festival 24/7 throughout the festival as part of our extensive policing operation ensuring it is safe for everyone attending, as well as those who live nearby." In response to the charge, Kneecap said in a post: '14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us... 'Instead of defending innocent people, or the principles of international law they claim to uphold, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they did in Ireland for centuries. Then, like now, they claim justification. 'The IDF units they arm and fly spy plane missions for are the real terrorists, the whole world can see it.' Hezbollah - founded in 1982 - is an Iran-backed Shiite militia. The Lebanese terrorist organisation voiced support for the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7 2023 before launching guided rockets and artillery shells at Israeli-occupied positions the following day. Israel has retaliated with strikes on Gaza - and the conflict remains ongoing, with thousands of people, including civilian children, killed. Kneecap has said they "do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah", condemned all attacks on civilians, and alleged footage was "deliberately taken out of all context" as part of a "coordinated smear campaign" over their criticism of "the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people".
