Photo: Jason Mendez/Getty Images Maybe “blonde” was the only rhyme , indeed. We won’t bother recapping all the drama of this High School Musical: The Musical: The Series love triangle, but there were songs, and response songs, and music-video look-alikes, and now there is a backstory to all of this. In an interview with Radio.com , “ driver’s license ” singer Olivia Rodrigo said she doesn’t think she could respond to Sabrina Carpenter’s latest track, “ Skin ,” because “I actually don’t know her at all.” “I think we’ve met once or twice in passing, but I’ve never had a conversation with her, so I don’t think I could write a song that was meaningful or emotional about somebody that I don’t know,” she said. “But I think artists should be able to write about whatever they want to write about.” Later in the interview, Rodrigo discussed going back to the studio and a letter she got from Taylor Swift, which she said was stained with “snot from sobbing my eyes out.” But questions remain. Will Sabrina visit Josh on the set of HSMTMTS ? Could Sabrina and Olivia have a conversation there, or will they remain like two ships passing in the night? Will Olivia’s next pop power ballad be a duet with Mariah Carey or J-Lo? Guess we’ll see how this plays out at East High .
