The Gen-Z pop stars were famously pitted against one another by fans after Olivia dropped her debut single, drivers license, in 2021.
As the track was widely speculated to be inspired by her alleged romance with her co-star, Joshua Bassett, many fans immediately theorized that Sabrina was the "blonde girl" referenced in the song, as Joshua was rumored to be dating her at that point.
In the ensuing months, Sabrina faced an onslaught of backlash from fans, and she ultimately hit back at the scandal in her own song called because i liked a boy.
So, it's safe to say that a collaboration between the two now would break the internet, but is it even possible?
The rumors first circulated on X this week thanks to pop culture accounts like @21metgala, but other than that, there is no concrete evidence of an impending team-up.
As for how the chatter started in the first place, the only potential hint (though still very far from a direct clue) is that Olivia's longtime producer, Dan Nigro, has followed Sabrina on Instagram.
Are Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter actually collaborating?

Despite the lack of evidence, fans are more than happy to live in delusion and hope for the possibility.
"this isn't something to joke about… this affects real people like me," one fan wrote.
"i prayed for times like this," another said.
"They saw what charli and lorde did and said we could do the same," another joked, referring to the hit Brat remix Girl, so confusing that saw the songstresses put their rivalry to bed.
A crossover between Olivia and Sabrina would certainly shake up the pop culture world, but there are signs that the two haven't quite sparked up a friendship in the aftermath of SOUR.
One potential indicator connects to Taylor Swift, who was widely rumored to have had tension with Olivia after the infamous deja vu plagiarism debacle.
Adding further fuel to the fire was the 34-year-old pop star's decision to add Sabrina as an opener on The Eras Tour, which some viewed as a slight to Olivia.
Still, many are tired of the narrative, with one X user writing, "I have always been big fan of both of these women and their music. I wish fans would let the non-existent beef go."
