Camila Cabello seems to be aware of the songs written about her. The fan-favorite singer had stayed silent following the controversy that started when Sabrina Carpenter released her single 'Taste,' accompanied by a music video starring Jenna Ortega.
Fans of both musicians immediately pointed out that the song was about Sabrina's brief romance with Shawn Mendes, which ended when the singer rekindled his relationship with Camila in April 2023. However, this was not the only song that sparked controversy, as Sabrina's album had other tracks that seemingly alluded to the drama.
Camila had yet to talk about the topic, but she seemingly recreated the look of Sabrina's music video on the red carpet of the 2024 MTV VMAs. She also appeared to shade the musician after avoiding the word "taste" during her performance of her hit song 'Señorita' at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

"You know what, I have been lucky to contribute in many ways to the great music of the 21st century," she stated, adding, "Sometimes I have written them. Sometimes they have been written about me. You’re welcome, motherf---s."

The singer mentioned his past relationship on the "On Purpose with Jay Shetty" podcast. “I think Camila and I have just done the best job at preserving our private little fire of love for each other. Because no matter how strong mentally you are, when there are millions of people commenting on it, it's so hard not to be affected by it… This is real love, and it’s confusing and hard. I'm just lucky. She is an amazing human being,” he said.
