Sabrina Carpenter denies ‘weirdness’ with Taylor Swift over Skims campaign: ‘I’ve been very communicative’
Please, please, please stop assuming there’s beef between Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift.
The “Espresso” singer, 25, may have shocked fans by appearing in a campaign for noted Swift foe Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand in April while on a break from performing at the Eras Tour, but the pint-sized pop star says everything’s good with her pal.
Speaking with Rolling Stone for a new interview, the former Disney star told the publication the gig “didn’t cause her any grief with her friend,” nor did she really keep up with any stories regarding the partnership with Kardashian.
“As much as people want to believe you’re tuned into every little thing, I’m not because I’m constantly working,” Carpenter said, noting that she even talked to Swift about the ads.
“In that scenario, I’ve been very, very communicative with her about that situation, and I just love her so much and support her till the end,” she concluded.
The hitmaker continued to assure fans that the job didn’t cause any “weirdness” for her, but also didn’t hold back from taking a subtle dig at Internet trolls.
“I know people will just say things because that’s all they have time to do,” she said.
Carpenter’s Skims campaign dropped this past April and featured multiple shots of the star posing in lacy undergarments and cotton basics. The photos were inspired by the nineties, with the blonde chilling in a retro-looking bedroom, chatting on a cordless phone and listening to music on a Discman.
It’s worth noting that Carpenter isn’t the only friend of Swift’s to give Skims their stamp of approval.
Lana del Rey also appeared in the brand’s Valentine’s Day 2024 campaign, rocking a variety of slips and teddies.
Brittany Mahomes caught tons of flack when she and husband Patrick Mahomes appeared with their children in a family-oriented holiday shoot shortly after striking up a friendship with Swift, who is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, during football season.
Dave Portnoy went off on the WAG, writing, “F—k that traitorous piece of s—t Brittany Mahomes,” adding vomiting emojis over another image from the campaign.
After shutting down speculations, Carpenter also made sure to sing Swift’s praises in the same article, revealing she holds the 34-year-old pop star to “such a different echelon.”
“She always puts out music at a time where I didn’t realize I needed those songs,” she said, speaking like a true Swiftie.
“We’re very, very verbal with each other about our mutual love and admiration,” Carpenter concluded.
