Taylor Swift is taking her ‘Eras’ Tour to international fans, and she has a surprise in store. Pop icon and “Girl Meets World” star Sabrina Carpenter will be opening for Taylor on the international leg of the tour. While Taylor invited several notable names like Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams, and GAYLE for her U.S. dates, she made it clear that Carpenter would be the only opening act for her South American shows. Fans had speculated about Carpenter joining Swift on this leg, as their schedules aligned, but the full announcement confirmed that Carpenter would indeed be joining Taylor for all international concerts.
So why is this noteworthy? To understand the significance, let’s delve into the messy history between Carpenter, Swift, and Olivia Rodrigo.
2021
First, let’s address Olivia Rodrigo, who gained fame with her viral hit “Drivers License.” One of the most talked-about lines in the song, “You’re probably with that blonde girl,” refers to Sabrina Carpenter, and their feud over Joshua Bassett. This love triangle sparked intense drama, with Carpenter releasing “Skin” as a response to Rodrigo’s “Drivers License.” Fans rallied behind Rodrigo, feeling that Carpenter and Bassett’s budding romance had slighted her. It’s worth mentioning that Rodrigo is a huge Swiftie, as demonstrated by her song “1 step forward, 3 steps back,” which is inspired by Taylor’s “New Years Day.” The two singers even posed together at the 2021 Brit Awards.
Let’s fast forward to July 2022.
2022
The love triangle disintegrated, and Rodrigo wrapped up her highly successful ‘Sour Tour.’ Carpenter released her album titled “emails i can’t send,” which details her heartbreak over Bassett. One of the songs, “Because I liked a boy,” addresses the aftermath of the “Drivers License” saga, describing how Carpenter faced backlash and even death threats due to fans’ perception of her role in the love affair. However, Carpenter had the last laugh as her album became a viral success, and her tour quickly sold out in almost every city.
Now, let’s come to the present day.
2023
Given Rodrigo’s admiration for Swift, many would have expected her to join Taylor on tour or at least make a guest appearance. Surprisingly, only Carpenter has been seen attending an ‘Eras Tour’ gig so far (she was spotted in Philly). This raises the question: What happened to Olivia Rodrigo? Fans speculate a possible falling out between the two songstresses, as Rodrigo has been silent about her Swiftieness for some time now. Perhaps Taylor Swift knows something we don’t?
What’s next
Olivia Rodrigo has been keeping busy. She’s set to release “Vampire,” her first new song since the “Sour” era, on Friday, June 30. Fans are eager to decipher the lyrics and see what unfolds. As for the future of this triangle, only time will tell. Swifties should brace themselves for anything that might happen.
If you want to witness the drama in person, you can grab tickets for three of Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol, which will mark her first performance with Sabrina Carpenter.
