Here’s How Olivia Rodrigo Feels About Possibly Collaborating With Sabrina Carpenter Someday

Five years ago, the idea of Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter linking up in the studio would’ve been outrageous — but you never know what the future holds.

In her new Dazed cover story interview, Rodrigo was asked about whether she’d ever work on a song with her fellow Gen-Z pop star, and she didn’t shoot it down. “Oh, gosh,” she said with a laugh. “I mean, I’m open … I’m open to all types of collaboration.”

The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series alum also named the artists she personally dreams of teaming up with. “I’ve been listening to a lot of PJ Harvey lately. And Fiona Apple,” she told the publication. “I think those two were just doing something so special and raw and unfiltered. I would love to meet and hang with them.”

It’s not the first time someone has asked Rodrigo about Carpenter recently. Half a decade ago, the two ladies were thrown together in the center of public discourse after Rodrigo released 2021 debut single “Drivers License,” which describes how an ex broke up with her to be with “that blonde girl,” whom fans determined to be Carpenter. In response, the Girl Meets World star dropped tracks such as “Skin” and “Because I Liked a Boy.”

But now, Rodrigo says of Carpenter, “I think she’s great,” as told to British Vogue in March. “I’m so happy for all of her success too. I love the album she’s put out … people just get weird and clickbaity. It’s all love, though. I’ve talked to her many times.”

As for whether she’d work with Lorde — someone whom Rodrigo has cited many times as a musical hero — she told Dazed, “Oh yeah, she’s amazing. Pure Heroine definitely informed the way I think about songwriting. I love the new record she put out.”
