Joshua Bassett forced to pick between Olivia Rodrigo or Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s songs Instagram: Olivia Rodrigo\/ Joshua Bassett\/ Sabrina CarpenterDisney star Joshua Bassett was put on the spot in an awkward viral interview in which he was forced to choose between Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s song \u2018Drivers License\u2019 and Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s song \u2018Skin.\u2019 \u2018Driver\u2019s License\u2019 became an overnight sensation and broke numerous streaming records in January, and while the song itself is a heartwrenching breakup anthem, many believe it also touches on real events from Olivia Rodrigo\u2018s life. Joshua Bassett is very strongly rumored to be the subject of the song by Olivia Rodrigo, who played his love interest on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Fans theorized that it referenced a possible break up between the two in real life. Many fans also believed that the \u201cblonde girl\u201d referred to in the song was Sabrina Carpenter, a former Disney star who had recently gotten close to Joshua Bassett. Sabrina\u2019s own song titled \u2018Skin,\u2019 released shortly after, had lyrics that seemed to indicate that it was a response. Sabrina sings, \u201cmaybe you didn\u2019t mean it, maybe \u201cblonde\u201d was the only rhyme,\u201d in a potential reference to the iconic \u201cyou\u2019re probably with that blonde girl,\u201d line from \u2018Drivers License\u2019. However, Sabrina has since denied that this was directed at Olivia. Joshua briefly addressed the situation for the first time on TikTok in a reaction to a sketch on Saturday Night Live in which they celebrated how viral the song became, while also briefly mentioning Joshua. In his TikTok, the actor simply looked directly at the camera appearing defeated and he added \u201cdream come true?\u201d in the description.

At first, the interviewer told Josh the interview would be in his hands \u2013 he must pick a category, and then he\u2019d be asked a question based on that category. However, the songs were actually categories themselves, meaning he was unable to dodge the question. Joshua was clearly taken aback and awkwardly responded \u201cman, you\u2019re coming at it.\u201d He took a long time to answer, appearing to almost say \u2018Skin\u2019 a few times before eventually settling on \u2018Drivers License.\u2019 To his relief, the next questions avoided the drama altogether. But for some, his agonizing over which song to pick was enough to cause a stir, with several people writing \u201cas he should!\u201d in the comments, or considering what the backlash might have been if he picked the other option. Despite this brief reaction, Joshua still hasn\u2019t given any full details of his possible involvement and certainly doesn\u2019t seem like he wants to share his real thoughts any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
