Olivia Rodrigo shuts down \u201cstupid\u201d rumors about Driver\u2019s License and Sabrina Carpenter YouTube: GQ, Teen VogueOlivia Rodrigo is hitting back at rumors that her hit song \u2018Driver\u2019s License\u2019 is secretly a diss track about a beef between herself and Sabrina Carpenter. Olivia Rodrigo is one of the biggest pop icons in music right now. Her best-known song, Driver\u2019s License, went viral on TikTok earlier this year, and her subsequent \u2018SOUR\u2019 album was met with critical acclaim (although her merch wasn\u2019t). However, Rodrigo wasn\u2019t always a musical superstar; the \u2018Good 4 u\u2019 singer is also a Disney actress, having starred in \u2018High School Musical: The Musical: The Series\u2019 alongside co-star Joshua Bassett. It was heavily speculated that Bassett and Rodrigo were romantically involved, although neither party spilled the beans. When Driver\u2019s License released, though, Bassett was seen with fellow Disney actress Sabrina Carpenter, prompting fans to spread rumors that a lyric in Rodrigo\u2019s breakup anthem was hitting out at Carpenter. Carpenter later released a song called \u2018Skins\u2019 which seemed to include a lyric clapping back at Rodrigo\u2019s track \u2014 although she later denied that this was the case. Months later, Rodrigo has officially addressed the situation, stating in an interview with Variety that she\u2019s tired of the constant speculation surrounding Driver\u2019s License and her fake beef with Carpenter. \u201cI put it out not knowing that it would get that reaction, so it was really strange when it did,\u201d she said of the song. \u201cI just remember everyone being so weird and speculative about stuff they had no idea about.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t really subscribe to hating other women because of boys,\u201d she continued. \u201cI think that\u2019s so stupid, and I really resent that narrative that was being tossed around.\u201d Well folks, there you have it; Rodrigo is not here for the rumors about herself and Sabrina Carpenter beefing over Joshua Bassett \u2014 something Bassett himself has previously denied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
