\t\t\t\t\tSabrina Carpenter to Follow \u2018Short n\u2019 Sweet\u2019 With New Album \u2018Man\u2019s Best Friend\u2019: Here\u2019s When\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tBut in 2021, the debacle was pretty much all anyone could talk about, with the internet casting the \u201cEspresso\u201d singer in the \u201cother woman\u201d archetype after actor Joshua Bassett reportedly broke up with his High School Musical: The Musical: The Series <\/em>castmate to start dating Carpenter. It all stemmed from lyrics on Rodrigo\u2019s Billboard Hot 100<\/a>-topping debut single, on which she sings, \u201cYou\u2019re probably with that blonde girl, who always made me doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYears later, the Girl Meets World <\/em>alum is far better known for her own chart-toppers such as \u201cPlease Please Please\u201d following the success of her breakthrough 2024 album Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em>, and Carpenter and Rodrigo have even been spotted looking friendly at events in the years since the drama unfolded. But in her Rolling Stone<\/a> <\/em>cover story published Thursday (June 12), the two-time Grammy winner shared what being the target of so many rumors taught her.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAll I knew was that it wasn\u2019t going to stop me from doing what I loved, ever,\u201d she told the publication. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of how I\u2019ve always felt. Sometimes, it\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tNoting that she \u201cdidn\u2019t really intentionally\u201d try to change public opinion of her post-\u201cDrivers License,\u201d Carpenter revealed whether or not she ever ruminates on that time period. \u201cI don\u2019t think about it, ever,\u201d she deadpanned.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cTaste\u201d artist, who earlier in the story revealed that she sometimes wears a brown wig to disguise herself in public, jokingly added, \u201cI\u2019ve tried being \u00adbrunette, and it didn\u2019t look good on me, so this is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s not the first time Carpenter has addressed what happened in 2021. She dropped the singles \u201cSkin\u201d and \u201cBecause I Liked a Boy\u201d as presumed responses<\/a> to feeling misunderstood by the public amid the criticism. She also told Billboard<\/a> <\/em>in October of that year, \u201cIt\u2019s such a waste of time, because you\u2019ll never know the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s part of the fun of it, I guess,\u201d she added at the time. \u201cBut at the same time, there are real people. I will say, that\u2019s the hardest thing \u2014 trying to be truthful to yourself, make art that feels real and exciting, but then also knowing that [you\u2019re writing] about humans going through what we\u2019re all going through on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Rolling Stone <\/em>interview comes just one day after Carpenter announced<\/a> her new album, Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em>, which follows the release of lead single \u201cManchild\u201d earlier this month. The LP will drop Aug. 29, almost exactly one year after she released Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s an unusually short break between albums nowadays, but as Carpenter pointed out in the cover story, her idols \u2014 from Dolly Parton to Linda Rondstadt \u2014 used to do the same thing back in the day. \u201cThey would release a 10-song album every year,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018When did we stop doing that?\u2019 Writers write, they make music, and they release music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf I really wanted to, I could have stretched out Short n\u2019 Sweet <\/em>much, much longer,\u201d Carpenter added. \u201cBut I\u2019m at that point in my life where I\u2019m like, \u2018Wait a second, there\u2019s no rules.\u2019 If I\u2019m inspired to write and make something new, I would rather do that. Why would I wait three years just for the sake of waiting three years? It\u2019s all about what feels right. I\u2019m learning to listen to that a lot more, instead of what is perceived as the right or wrong move.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
