'You’re Missing a Few Key Details There'
Sabrina Carpenter called it 'tricky' to 'navigate' dating as a young woman in the spotlight.
Six months after the former couple made headlines for calling it quits, the "Manchild" singer seemingly addressed the speculation surrounding the split.
"You’re like, ‘That didn’t happen then. That did happen then. You’re missing a few key details there,'" she said of the online rumors in a Rolling Stone interview published in June 2025.
"People underestimate how tricky it is to navigate being a young woman, having relationships, and then having a bunch of strangers have opinions on them," Carpenter added.
The Grammy-winning pop star claimed she's 'immune and numb' to the comments about her relationships.
However, the Grammy winner went on to describe herself as "immune and numb" to the commentary on her dating life.
"Surely, all of these people that are commenting, if they had the same microscope on their personal lives, I don’t think they’d be as eloquently spoken as me,” she said. "I know it’s a tale as old as time. It’s just unfortunate that it’s still a tale."
