Behind the warm smiles and industry mentorship, all that the pop sensations Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift share is a subtle yet fierce rivalry. Despite Swift's initial welcoming arms, embracing Carpenter as a newcomer, their relationship has evolved into a high-stakes game of musical thrones. Despite losing Song of the Summer to Swift at this year's VMAs, the 'Espresso' singer's steady rise through the charts has now come to a position where it might threaten to disrupt Swift's long-held reign in the near future.

Though Carpenter is yet to overtake Swift's records, it seems that she has started to inch closer with a tiebreaker, beginning to wipe the floor for Taylor Swift.

According to Buzzing Pop, as per recent data, Sabrina Carpenter's this year's hit album, 'Short n' Sweet’ has tied Taylor Swift's award-winning ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ as the fifth longest-running #1 album by a female artist in US Apple Music. While this undoubtedly portrays Carpenter's gradual rise to influence, it also questions Taylor Swift's among the audience. 

With 'Short n' Sweet' maintaining its top spot, Carpenter's prominence continues. The milestone marks a significant development in Carpenter's career, strengthening her position alongside industry veterans like Taylor Swift. While this undoubtedly sets the stage for an intriguing unspoken rivalry between the two singers, fans eagerly anticipate their next moves.

Although it might seem like Sabrina Carpenter is making it through, the VMAs did not favor the 'Short n Sweet' singer. 

Taylor Swift dominated the VMAs, winning 7 out of 12 nominations, including Song of the Summer and Artist of the Year. Like the previous year, her iconic run established her status as a music industry powerhouse. In contrast, Sabrina Carpenter secured only 1 win out of 6 nominations, taking home the bronze for Song of the Year. 

One thing, hence is certain. Despite this, the musical rivalry is here to stay between Swift and Carpenter. Moreover, if Carpenter has to match her level, she has a long way to gather a devoted fan base like that of Taylor Swift. Not the ones willing to go to great lengths to support their artist, but a fandom that would take a bullet for Carpenter, like they do for all things Swift.
