Camila Cabello and Sabrina Carpenter have both alluded to the love triangle in their recent songs, Carpenter in “Taste” (“I heard you guys are back together and if that’s true / Then you just got to taste me when he kisses you”) and “Coincidence” (“Last week you had no doubts / This week you’re holding room for her tongue in your mouth / Now she’s sending you some pictures of her wearing less and less / Trying to turn the past into the present”) and Cabello in “June Gloom” (“She’s cool, I heard / She won’t act surprised, I’ve seen the pictures / We’re definitely a house fire / Hope it burns out but it’s only getting bigger… / If she’s so great, then why are you on this side of town? If you like her so much, what are you trying to figure out here?”).

Carpenter was up next, singing a medley of her three current hits, including “Taste.” To further drive home the love triangle theme, Carpenter took the stage with an astronaut and an alien, which, trust me, makes even more sense when you see it. She essentially recreated her music video, with the alien standing in for Jenna Ortega’s character.

Cabello was the last to take the stage, but as soon as she arrived she was ready to make a statement. On the red carpet she told Billboard about her sheer lace look: “I’m in my ‘Godspeed’ era, and this song is very much about letting go of everything that’s not good for you. So today I’m having a bit of a funeral for everything negative, everything that’s not good for me… Death to things that are negative, death to people and situations that try to bring you down.”

She opened her performance with a clip of her song “June Gloom,” but quickly moved into “Godspeed,” a true breakup anthem. “And I hope you find some peace,” she sings. “Good luck.”
