Sabrina Carpenter has said that there is no tension between her and Taylor Swift, following her recent campaign with SKIMS.The speculation about the friendship between Carpenter and Swift came into question when the former partnered up with SKIMS – the clothing brand founded by Kim Kardashian – earlier this year.Previously, Carpenter had joined Swift as a support act for many of her huge ‘Eras’ tour dates, and openly shared her appreciation for the pop star on a number of occasions.

I went down really, really hard.”More recently, she dropped a track on ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ that many speculate is about her feud with Kardashian.
