The Taste video and song

The entirety of the Taste video and the lyrics that make up the song are rumoured to detal Sabrina’s supposed interpretation that Camila is obsessed with her and with Shawn. People have been theorising that Jenna Ortega is meant to be playing a representation of Camila Cabello in the violent video.

Rumours Shawn cheated on Sabrina with Camila

Shawn has repeatedly shut down any rumours he and Sabrina were dating. However, a lot of the lyrics on Short N Sweet allude to the fact that a man from Sabrina’s past was constantly saying the situation wasn’t serious when she felt like it was. She was also pictured in Shawn Mendes’ clothes frequently.

Does she get this wet for you, baby?Talk to you in poems and songs, huh, baby?
