Notably, fans are particularly obsessed with one line in Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers License" in which she laments about a "blonde girl" who is "everything I'm insecure about." The line could easily be a reference to Sabrina Carpenter. At the top of her song "Skin," Carpenter seems to respond to Rodrigo directly: "Maybe you didn't mean it / Maybe blonde was the only rhyme," she croons. 

As Carpenter arrives at the chorus, she has more to say to Rodrigo: "You can try to get under my, under my, under my skin while he's on mine," she sings, with the "he" in question likely being Joshua Bassett. And, by the bridge, Carpenter delivers perhaps the most on-the-nose lyric yet: "Don't drive yourself insane / It won't always be this way." 

Though neither Carpenter nor Rodrigo has confirmed who their songs are about, the lyrics seem to be in direct conversation with one another. As Carpenter points out in her song: "You've been telling your side, so I'll be telling mine."
