‘Eras’ Tour to fans all over the globe.One of the major surprises of the tour’s international leg is that Taylor announced her opening act is pop icon and “Girl Meets World” star Sabrina Carpenter.

On her U.S. dates, Swift invited a multitude of bona fide stars like Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams and GAYLE. However, with the news of her South American dates, Taylor announced that she would be joined by Carpenter — and no other acts.

When Swift trickled international tour dates, fans speculated Carpenter would open for Swift on the South American leg because their schedules aligned.Yet, Taylor’s full announcement included a small shoutout that Carpenter would be joining the “Shake It Off” singer for all international concerts.Why is this notable?To answer that, we have to travel back in time to dissect Carpenter, Swift and Olivia Rodrigo’s messy history.First and foremost, we need to address Olivia Rodrigo, who blew up due to her viral song “Drivers License.” As fans know, the infamous line “You’re probably with that blonde girl,” is about none other than Ms.

Sabrina Carpenter and their feud over Joshua Bassett. The love triangle festered for a long while as evidenced by the release of Sabrina’s “Skin,” her rebuttal to Rodrigo’s “Drivers License.” Drama between the two nearly broke the internet as fans rushed to support Rodrigo, who felt slighted by the budding romance between Carpenter and Bassett.
