Singer-actress Sabrina Carpenter finally spoke out about the online speculations and "bad blood" rumors regarding her friendship with Taylor Swift. These rumors started after she featured in the campaign for SKIMS, the shapewear brand by Kim Kardashian.

While Swift and Kardashian had a "rocky history," Carpenter told Rolling Stone that the Fortnight singer doesn't have an issue with her stint in the SKIMS campaign. In her interview published on June 17, 2024, she noted:

"In that scenario, I've been very, very communicative with her about the situation, and I just love her so much and support her till the end."

Carpenter also mentioned that there is "no weirdness" for her about it. However, she admitted it would likely get people talking. She said:

"[So] it was no weirdness for me, but I know people will just say things because that's all they have time to do."

Besides being friends and attending football games together, Carpenter also joined Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour. She did opening acts for the latter during the tour stops in Mexico City, South America, Australia, and Singapore.
