Olivia Rodrigo's song "drivers license" is undoubtedly still the biggest song of 2021 so far, and it's no secret that the song sparked a major conversation about Olivia's love life. Specifically the love triangle between herself, Joshua Bassett, and Sabrina Carpenter.

As time has gone on, Olivia, Joshua, and Sabrina have all released more new music, and fans have continued to speculate about their relationship while dissecting every lyric.

In an interview with Elle, Olivia opened up about how she feels about her love life being such a topic of conversation in the public eye. She looks at it as a positive. The singer said, "It's truly any songwriter's dream."

Olivia continued and discussed the thrill of seeing others connect with her music and her heartbreak. She also revealed that she learned from her mom at an early age that "The point of music is to move you," so she's always been about eliciting emotions. But Olivia was worried that she was "never going to write a song as good as that again."

However, the opposite happened. Olivia said that the song gave her a lot of confidence in her voice.

In Love With Her Co-Star

Olivia Rodrigo shot to fame on the Disney+ show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. As time went on, fans started to notice the chemistry between Olivia and her co-star Joshua Bassett. They play on-again, off-again love interests on-screen, but how the two looked at each other off-screen made people think they were dating in real life.

Love Triangle Timeline

By May of 2020, the drama really started to unfold. Fans began to notice that Olivia and Joshua stopped liking each other's social media posts, then came the music. In July, Olivia took to Instagram to post herself singing an unreleased breakup song called White Flowers, and in the caption, she wrote "sad girl hours."

On July 16, 2020, Joshua put out his song Anyone Else, which some fans thought it was about Olivia. Then in August, Joshua was spotted out having lunch with Girl Meets World star Sabrina Carpenter. Joshua and Sabrina started posting TikToks together and hanging out more.

When Olivia released the official song, she notably changed that "brunette girl" lyric to that "blonde girl" since her Instagram teaser of "driver's license" back in July 2020.

In the new version, she sings, "And you're probably with that blonde girl / Who always made me doubt / She's so much older than me / She's everything I'm insecure about." And yes, Sabrina is blonde and four years older than Olivia.

When things couldn't get any more dramatic, Joshua posted about drivers license and congratulated Olivia, but not without following up with a suspicious post of his own. Just days after Olivia dropped her song, Joshua revealed the release of his song Lie Lie Lie. In the pic he posted, he's on a car, which seemed like a nod to drivers license.

Sabrina Carpenter's Response to the Drama

Sabrina's song Skin is a direct response to the drama "driver's license" has caused. Not only does the song reference some of the exact lyrics in drivers license, but Sabrina sings explicitly about "the other girl" in this alleged love triangle while the boy they're both pining over is on top of her skin. Towards the end of the song, Sabrina circles back on the fact that maybe one day, this could be something they laugh about.

Naturally, Skin has caused the Internet to interpret it from many different viewpoints, with some fans unable to see the harm in Sabrina finally addressing her side of the story. Others had a completely different perspective, claiming that Sabrina intentionally tried to bully Olivia with this song.

Olivia Rodrigo's Breakup Album

Fans knew Olivia Rodrigo's first album was going to make a splash in the music industry as soon as the public saw the massive success she had with her debut single "driver's license". But as time went on and she dropped two more singles from the album, her talent and songwriting skills were utterly undeniable.

One of the bops of her album is "good 4 u". Olivia isn't shy, saying she's gotten a lot of inspiration from artists like Taylor Swift, Lorde, Billie Eilish, and more when it comes to the music she's making now. But since good 4 u has gone number one on streaming platforms like Spotify, many fans on TikTok are pointing out the song's similarities to an older Selena Gomez track: Stop & Erase.

Olivia's honest and vulnerable songwriting style has been compared to some of the most brilliant songwriters of this time, including Taylor Swift and Julia Michaels. After releasing her debut album "Sour", Olivia performed at the Brits, on SNL, and now, Billboard revealed that her single good 4 u also debuted at number one on the charts. This was a historic moment as Olivia became the first female artist to debut two songs at number one on Billboard Global 200 singles chart.

Although the breakup was painful, music is helping Olivia to heal and move on.
