Olivia Rodrigo also Sabrina Carpenter were spotted chatting at the Met Gala a year after their love triangle

At Monday's Met Gala in New York, more than a year after their supposed love triangle, 19-year-old Rodrigo and 22-year-old Carpenter was snapped by a Vogue photographer in a tongue-in-cheek series while talking drama to each other, Joshua Basset.

In the photo in the carousel, actor Sebastian Stan is the main subject, with Kim Kardashian on the left. However, to his right, Carpenter had his back to the camera, and Rodrigo was staring at him as they spoke. The former Disney star appears to have kept his distance since the January 2021 release of "Driver's License" Rodrigo, which fans believe is due to his love triangle with Carpenter and his high school musical: The Basset Hound, 21.

And while Rodrigo never confirmed the subject of the heartbreaking ballad, it was long rumored to have been written with Basset, as fans believed the stars shared an off-screen romance - and when Bassett was spotted hanging out with Carpenter. Many believe that Rodrigo's lyrics refer to his real sequel. "You're probably dating the blonde girl I've always had my doubts about," he sings. "He's much older than me / Only he makes me insecure."

Carpenter then apparently shared his side of the story with the release of the single "Skin," which Bassett approved. Around this time, PEOPLE learned that Carpenter wanted the track to reflect the strength to be found in difficult times and the importance of focusing on joy.

"Maybe you didn't mean it / Maybe the blonde was the only rhyme," he sings at the top of the track.

However, during Rodrigo's Disney film accompanying his debut album, which was released in March, he revealed that he was hesitant to release "deja vu," his next "Driver's License" single, because he didn't want the words to be misinterpreted. Will.
