Joshua Bassett reacts after SNL sketch mentions \u2018Drivers License\u2019 drama TikTok: joshuabassett\/ Instagram: Olivia RodrigoJoshua Bassett has addressed the drama surrounding the song \u2018Driver\u2019s License\u2019 by Olivia Rodrigo for the very first time in a TikTok. \u2018Driver\u2019s License\u2019 became an overnight sensation and literally broke records in January, and while the song itself is a heartbreaking break-up anthem, many believe it also touches on real events from Olivia Rodrigo\u2018s life. Fans theorized early on that the singer and star of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series was in fact referencing a possible break up with her co-star Joshua Bassett who also plays her love interest in the show. 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. Soon after, Sabrina released her own song titled \u2018Skin,\u2019 and listeners noticed some lines in the song that may indicate that it\u2019s a response to Olivia\u2019s insanely popular track. 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 Olivia\u2019s own song. However, Sabrina has since denied that this was directed at Olivia.

The SNL cast, alongside Bridgerton\u2019s Reg\u00e9-Jean Page who was hosting on Saturday evening, performed a sketch that celebrated just how viral the song became, with all the cast swaying and singing along to the icon \u201cred lights, stop signs\u201d bridge. Joshua reacted to having his name mentioned on the iconic show in a TikTok. He captions it, \u201cFRIEND: dude you were on SNL last night!!!,\u201d but as Saturday Night Live cast member, Mikey Day, says \u201cMy b**** ex, Gina, is Joshua Bassett\u201d he looks directly at the camera with a look of defeat. In the description, he adds \u201cdream come true?\u201d This is the first time Joshua has made any reference to the drama, and safe to say reactions from TikTokers were mixed.
