Sabrina defiantly wrote under the TikTok video: “I sing live every show 100%. Would you like to talk to my audio engineers?”
However, the social media user was not convinced and responded to Sabrina: “I would tell them to lower their backtracking voice because it’s too loud.”
Her album Short ‘N Sweet has made headlines for its song Taste, an acid-tongued song rumored to be aimed at Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
Although she doesn’t name any particular man in Taste’s lyrics, she tells a juicy story about an ex who got back together with a previous love.
Sabrina was briefly linked to Shawn in 2023, during one of the gaps in his long on-off relationship with Camila.
Shawn and Camila got back together publicly shortly after his dating rumors with Sabrina, but have since broken up once again.
The lyrics of Sabrina’s Taste are addressed to the woman with whom her ex has rekindled his old romance, and her message to her love rival is scathing.
“I heard they’re back together and if that’s true, you’re going to have to taste me when he kisses you,” she teases the other woman in the chorus.

Sabrina also reveals that she raided her ex’s closet before they broke up, so half of his clothes are gone and now “my body is where it is.”
She sounds witheringly like the on-again, off-again girlfriend: “Now I’m gone, but you’re still lying next to me, one degree of separation.”
Sabrina even takes credit for her old boyfriend’s sense of humor, noting, “It’s funny, all his jokes are different now.” Guess who he learned that from?
