Sabrina Carpenter Got Real About What She Learned From The Olivia Rodrigo "Drivers License" Drama
It feels like an eternity since Olivia Rodrigo released her breakthrough single "Drivers License." (It's been about four and a half years.) If you remember all the hubbub behind the song, you probably also recall plenty of speculation that the song — especially the lyric 'You're probably with that blonde girl, who always made me doubt" — was addressing Olivia's split with Joshua Bassett, who was rumored to be dating the one and only Sabrina Carpenter after the breakup.

So it's funny — and a bit shocking, honestly — that the topic of the "Drivers License" drama came up with Sabrina in a recent interview with Rolling Stone.

'I've tried being brunette, and it didn't look good on me, so this is what it is," she also joked. But that's not all! Sabrina also got real about what she learned regarding the whole sitch. 'All I knew was that it wasn't going to stop me from doing what I loved, ever,' she said. 'That's kind of how I've always felt." "Sometimes, it's about how you are able to be resilient. What that era taught me was to just trust myself, and trust that everything is going to work out the way it's supposed to, and trust that relationships are put into your life for a reason. You might not see that in the moment, but you see it later.' You can read the entire interview here.

Sabrina Carpenter Has Cheeky Response to Rumored Olivia Rodrigo Drama
Originally appeared on E! Online has a short n' sweet take on drama of the past. The 'Taste' singer has largely shied away from addressing the speculation she is the 'blonde girl' Olivia Rodrigo sings about in breakout anthem 'drivers license'—largely thought to be about her breakup with Joshua Bassett—Sabrina did make a cheeky remark to her trademark hair color in her new song 'Skin.' After all, the lyrics suggest, 'Maybe blonde was the only rhyme.' But as for whether she was really alluding to the 2021 love triangle between the Disney stars? 'I didn't really intentionally do that,' Sabrina, 26, told Rolling Stone in an interview publish June 12. 'All I knew was that it wasn't going to stop me from doing what I loved, ever. That's kind of how I've always felt. Sometimes, it's about how you are able to be resilient.' That said, she looks back on that time as a real period of growth. More from E!

'You might not see that in the moment, but you see it later.' She has not only fully moved on from the drama—but has embraced her blonde identity. 'I don't think about it, ever,' she emphasized, adding, 'I've tried being brunette, and it didn't look good on me, so this is what it is.' As for proof Sabrina and Olivia both put it in the rear view, they reunited at the 2025 Grammys and shared a sweet embrace. For her part, Olivia chose not to name names while speaking about "Drivers License' as she wanted the song to speak for itself. "I totally understand people's curiosity with the specifics of who the song's about and what it's about, but to me, that's really the least important part of the song,' Olivia told Billboard in January 2021. 'It's resonating with people because of how emotional it is, and I think everything else is not important.' While Olivia and Sabrina have made it clear there's no more bad blood, they aren't the only stars to be embroiled in drama.
