Sometimes the gossip that comes out of an award show is beefy. Two stars refusing to sit next to each other. Actors avoiding each other on the red carpet. Exes and their currents awkwardly walking past. Girl sh-t and boy sh-t and mess. 

 

Sometimes, however, the gossip that comes out of an award show can be wholesome – less beef, more grace. And this, evidently, is what we got out of the Grammys with Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Sabrina Carpenter. Let’s start with Olivia and Sabrina. Olivia’s breakout hit, “drivers licence”, was over Joshua Bennett from their High School Musical days, Gen Z’s version of Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, and Aaron Carter. 

 

But this is what happens when you’re a young adult and everything seems to intense and permanent in the moment: the moment passes, LOL. At the time, of course, and at that age, it doesn’t seem like it ever will. But it always does and you look back and you think to yourself… really? Over that guy? I’ve been there. I know many of you reading this have too. 

Cut to 2025 and the Grammys, Olivia and Sabrina were seen hugging. Here’s the video: 

 

While those two were putting their youth behind them, Taylor Swift was actually talking to Olivia’s boyfriend, Louis Partridge. Here’s a wider angle: 

 

That would mean that whatever tension there was between Olivia and Taylor has also now dissipated. Olivia also liked a post on Instagram about Taylor’s Grammys look. Taylor Swift for sure would know something about how potent your emotions can be when you’re in your late teens and how quickly trivial they become when your world expands, when you see more and experience more, when you become a more complete person. 

Once again, this too shall pass. The girls are OK. For now. 

 

In other Taylor news, she’ll be at the Super Bowl. Not that anyone was doubting it but Jason Kelce confirmed it. Last year Taylor took Blake Lively to the Super Bowl. Curious to see who’s on her guest list this year. 

And in Sabrina news… she announced the deluxe version of her album short n’ sweet is coming out soon and that Dolly Parton will be on the “Please Please Please” remix which is… perfect. The song has a country vibe, I can’t wait to hear Dolly on it. Although I think we’re all curious because is Dolly actually going to sing “I beg you don’t embarrass me motherf-cker”??? I want it! Please, please, please I want it!
