Watch Camila Cabello sing Sabrina Carpenter’s viral song ‘Espresso’
Camila Cabello fumbled the lyrics to Sabrina Carpenter’s viral song “Espresso” on Capital FM’s Finish The Lyric. In a video uploaded on the radio network’s YouTube channel, she starts by singing lyrics from Carpenter’s hit song, “I’m working late ’cause I’m a singer. Oh, he looks so cute wrapped around my finger.” However, she immediately goes on to sing the wrong part of the track.
The video quickly went viral across social media, especially because of its impeccable timing. Capital FM released the video of Camila Cabello fumbling the lyrics to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” days after the latter dropped her new album. Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet” has sparked speculation about whether it’s about the rumored dating drama between her, Cabello, and Shawn Mendes.
According to rumors, Sabrina Carpenter and Shawn Mendes were dating in February 2023, as reported by People Magazine. Neither singer has ever confirmed a romantic relationship. However, around the same time, Mendes was seen in public with Camila Cabello and they appeared to be dating. Now, some fans believe that Carpenter is finally addressing the apparent love triangle in “Short n’ Sweet,” owing to the suggestive lyrics in a few tracks, including “Taste,” “Coincidence,” and “Dumb & Poetic.”
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) expressed their confusion concerning the video of Camila Cabello singing “Espresso” and its awkward timing. One user even alleged that she “recorded almost 2 months ago” and urged others to “give it a rest .” One user criticized Cabello’s singing by replying, “If you want to call that singing,” many fans were supportive of her rendition.
As far as the video is concerned, Camila Cabello also sang along the lyrics to other artists’ songs. These included Tate McRae’s “Greedy,” Tyla’s “Water,” and her own smasher, “Havana.” Additionally, Cabello failed to recognize the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” She attempted to sing, “I’m so depressed I act like it’s….” before adding, “I don’t know what song that is.”
