“The war is over”: Fans crack jokes as Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter chat at the GRAMMYs

In addition to bringing home golden prizes, fans like to believe that the 2025 Grammys spurred some unexpected Olivia-Sabrina peace negotiations. At the star-studded event, pop idols Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter, who have gained notoriety for more than just their music, were seen conversing. And yeah...the pop-obsessed internet blew up. The two, allegedly at odds because of the love triangle with Joshua Bassett, appeared to have resolved their differences.

It was aptly put up by one Twitter user:

"the war is over."

Following years of lyrical barbs and conjectured conflict, fans were both gasping and memeing all night long after this photo opportunity. Was this a friendly conversation or the last truce? In any case, the internet had a great time, as evidenced by the hit tweets that followed.

Pop feud finale? Fans react to Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter's GRAMMYs chat with memes

Once fans caught wind of Olivia and Sabrina sharing a friendly moment at the GRAMMYs, social media erupted. It wasn’t long before some sharp-eyed Twitter users came through with quips and hot takes. One person cheekily tweeted,

"NOT THEM WORKING IT OUT ON THE REMIX," suggesting the drama could now be settled in a musical collaboration.

Another user joked,

“This was a cute moment but Sabrina fans still gonna drag Olivia unprovoked 😭,” highlighting the uncalled loyalty and definitely unnecessary intensity of their fan bases.

The jokes kept rolling in, with someone humorously imagining the conversation between the two:

“Hey, we basically make the same music.”

Meanwhile, a hilarious tweet featuring a GIF of Ariana Grande squinting read,

“ME LOOKING AT THIS BC ALL I SAW WAS TAYLORS TALL A*S,” referencing Taylor Swift towering over the pair in the background.

Fans couldn't help but point out the layers of drama within this simple exchange, with one person tweeting,

“Oh and Taylor walking by😭 there are layers to this.”

The most meta reaction, however, came from a fan who connected Sabrina’s past lyrics to the current moment:

“‘Maybe one day we both can laugh about it when it’s not in our face’ oh Sabrina called it.”

It seems like fans think that day has finally come, with another user adding,

“They must be laughing at it now 😭😭😭.”

From feud to friendship? A brief history

Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter allegedly had a spat that began in early 2021 when Rodrigo's song, Drivers License was thought to allude to her split from Joshua Bassett and his reported new relationship with Carpenter. Carpenter replied with her own song, Skin, which seemed to address the rumors, while fans fuelled the controversy by analyzing lyrics and social media posts.

The public couldn't help but position them against one another even if neither of them specifically acknowledged the existence of a love triangle.

Both artists mostly avoided each other—until now—as their careers progressed to this award-stricken moment. The unexpected Grammys moment seems to indicate that any remaining tension has seemed to have subsided.

Given that both performers are killing it with streams and sales, and even receiving Grammy nominations, it's probable that the rumors have died down. And let's face it, what better setting than the greatest music event to finish the drama!

Fans (and the internet) will undoubtedly be discussing the incident for weeks to come, regardless of whether it was a step towards genuine friendship or simply another chance meeting. If Olivia and Sabrina are having fun now, then perhaps it's time for everyone else to move on as well.
