Joshua Bassett Extends His Supports For Sabrina Carpenter’s New Single

Joshua Bassett showers some love for Sabrina Carpenter’s new single, “Skin,” which talks about the alleged love triangle between the two stars and Olivia Rodrigo.

“Been stuck in my head since I heard it!!!” Bassett wrote on his Instagram Story Friday alongside artwork for the track. “Congratulations @sabrinacarpenter on ‘skin,’ the new label, & all that’s to come!!!” 

They have been the subject of a social media frenzy since Rodrigo, 17, released “drivers license.”

Olivia’s track quickly went viral, and fans zeroed in on the lyric: “And you’re probably with that blonde girl/ Who always made me doubt/ She’s so much older than me/ She’s everything I’m insecure about.”

It was speculated the “blonde” Rodrigo referenced is Sabrina, 21, who has been seen spending time with Bassett, 20, lately.

On Thursday, Carpenter dropped “Skin,” an emotional pop song that seems to be a direct response to Olivia’s claims. “Maybe you didn’t mean it/ Maybe blonde was the only rhyme,” she sings on the track.

Carpenter, who recently signed with Island Records, then appears to make a clear reference to her drama with Rodrigo, singing: “Don’t drive yourself insane/ It won’t always be this way.”

Social media users hilariously reacted to the new track on Instagram and Twitter, referencing the drama and apparent love triangle.

Ahead of the release of her 2019 album Singular: Act II, Carpenter opened up about her writing process, saying her songs are a reflection of what is happening in her life.

“I definitely felt that within the songs that I was writing, it wasn’t so much struggling with my identity, as struggling with coming to terms with who I am,” she said at the time. “I feel like this past year is definitely — ups and downs-wise — like a roller coaster. It’s taught me a lot, that’s for sure. But it also stretched me to different places that I didn’t think that I could go before.”
