A video of Sabrina Carpenter is making everyone melt
Leave it to fans to find old footage of Sabrina Carpenter as a kid singing a Taylor Swift song.

Millie captioned it "one day you're covering a taylor swift song, fast forward to 15 years later and she's covering your song," along with a clip of Taylor and Sabrina singing one of Sabrina's songs together at Taylor's recent concert.

Olivia Rodrigo recently took a bit of a tumble while she was performing, as I told you, but it was worse than she let on at the time.
