One user wrote: “I love the duality that Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter offer as counterparts…Olivia’s songs are like ‘I’m so insecure and crazy and I’m going to die’ and Sabrina’s songs are like ‘Every boy is in love’ with me.” and that makes perfect sense.’”

Carpenter recently opened for Taylor Swift on the Latin American leg of the Eras Tour and performed at Coachella, which catapulted her to stardom. (The other pop star planning a similar appearance is Chappell Roan, who opened for Rodrigo on her GUTS World Tour and also performed at Coachella.)
